Rain that tends to fall in bands on earth is usually caused by : Warm, moist air rising and cooling
First, the water on earth evaporate due to sun's heat and formed cloud. Later on, this water condensed and fall again on the earth. Completing the water cycle

hope this helps

The given question is incomplete as the options are missing. The options are as follows-

A.jet streams collecting moisture

B.warm, moist air rising and cooling

C.cool, wet air sinking and then falling as rain

D.polar cells transporting water vapor from ice at the poles

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In the region of low pressure, the hot and less dense air rises up forming convection cells. As this hot moisture containing air moves towards the upper atmosphere, it cools due to the lowering of the temperature. This results in the condensation process forming clouds. This later forms rainfall and when the rain falls on the ground, it does not fall straight, rather it falls at an angle in bands on the surface of the earth, and this is because of the wind that blows during the time of rainfall.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The acceleration of a train moving from rest and its speed reaches 36m/sec in 9 sec

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

4 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as: Δv/Δt (the difference of the velocity over a time period in which happens that difference).

Remember that a difference is calculated by subtracting the initial value of a physical quantity from its final value.

In our case:

Δv = Vfinal - Vinitial = 36m/s - 0 m/s = 36m/s

Δt = 9s

a = Δv/Δt = 36m/s / 9s = 4m/s^2

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

When three identical bulbs of 60W,200V rating are connected in series at a 200V supply the power drawn by them will be?

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

P = 180 [w]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.

V = I*R & P = V*I

where:

V = voltage = 200[volts]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

P = power [watts]

Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed

P = 60 + 60 + 60

P = 180 [watts]

Now we can calculate the current

I = 180/200

I = 0.9[amp]

Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.

And the power is defined by P = V*I

we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore

P = 200*0.9

P = 180 [w]

A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest in 1

attashe74 [19]

The average act on her during the deceleration is 4.47 meters per second.

Explanation:

Given:

youngster mass m = 50.0 kg

She steps off a 1.00 m high platform that is s = 1 meter

She comes to rest in the 10-meter second

To Find:

The average force and momentum

Formulas:

p = m * v

F * Δ t = Δ p

vf^2= vi^2+2as

Solution:

a = 9.8 m/s

vi = 0

vf^2= 0+2(9.8)(1)

vf^2 = 19.6

vf = 4.47 m/s .

Therefore the average force is 4.47 m/s.

] A new coal-fired 750 MWe power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, which contains 1.1% sulfur. a. I

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

Explanation:

Given that:

The power or the power plant = 750 MWe

Since the power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% (i.e. 0.42) burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, Then the energy released per one lb of the coal can be computed as:

$\mathtt{=( 0.42\times 9000\times 1055.06) J}$

= 3988126.8 J

= 3.99 MJ

Also, The mass of the burned coal per sec can be calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the power plant by the energy released per one lb.

i.e.

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec $=\dfrac{750}{3.99}$

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec = 187.97 lb/s

The mass of sulfur burned $= \dfrac{1.1}{100} \times 187.97 \ lb/s$

= 2.067 lb/s

To hour; we have:

= 7444 lb/hr

However, If a scrubber with 75% removal efficiency is utilized,

Then; the net emissions rate of sulfur is (1 - 0.75) × 7444 lb/hr

= 0.25 × 7444 lb/hr

= 1861 lb/hr

Hence, the net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr
