A. True
if cold air is replacing warm air it is a cold front and vice versa.

Answer:

The Answer is B) False

Explanation:

The key word there is overtakes.

A weather front is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena outside the tropics.

Air masses create weather as they are moved by winds around the globe. Fronts develop at the boundary where two air masses with different temperatures—and, usually, different humidities—come into contact with each other or in essence collide.

The term front was suggested the creator of the word because the collision of two air masses reminded them of a battlefront during a military operation.

So air masses collide NOT overtake each other in order to form a front.

Cheers!

An airplane starts at rest and accelerates down the runway for 20 s. At the end of the runway, its velocity is 80 m/s north. Wha

goldenfox [79]

Vi = vf + ( a.t)
0 m/s (rest) = 80 m/s + (a.20s.-1)

a.20.-1= -80, we check if this is true; = 0 m/s= 80 + -80 = 0 ITS TRUE.

so a.20.-1= -80, a= 80/20 , Answers a= 4 m/s

Coulomb's law states that the force F of attraction between two oppositely charged particles varies jointly as the magnitude of

Mars2501 [29]

Answer: Force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

Explanation:

Let the charges be q1 and q2 and the distance between the charges be 'd'

Mathematical representation of coulombs law will be;

F1=kq1q2/d²...(1)

Where k is the electrostatic constant.

If q1 and q2 is doubled and the distance halved, we will have;

F2 = k(2q1)(2q2)/(d/2)²

F2 = 4kq1q2/(d²/4)

F2 = 16kq1q2/d²...(2)

Dividing equation 1 by 2

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² ÷ 16kq1q2/d²

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² × d²/16kq1q2

F1/F2 = 1/16

F1 = 1/16F2

This shows that the force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

$p = \frac{h}{\lambda}$
