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!

how much work does tension do on the laptop as it moves 2.0 mm ? express your answer with the appropriate units.

8090 [49]

The work done by tension force of 14N applied on the laptop by a rope as it moves 2.0 mm up the slope is 0.028 J

W = F d cos θ

W = Work done

F = Force

d = Displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement vector

F = 14 N

d = 2 mm = 0.002 m

θ = 0

W = 14 * 0.002 * 1

W = 0.028 J

Work done is the change in energy of an object. So if an object moves a certain distance, work is done on the object. If the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other there is no work done on the object.

Therefore, the work done by tension on the laptop is 0.028 J

A force of 5 n produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 in mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s2 in mass m2 .what acceleration would i

Inessa [10]

Acceleration of the both masses tied together= 6m/s²

Explanation:

The force is given by F= ma

so 5= m1 (8)

m1=0.625 Kg

for m2

5=m2 (24)

m2=0.208 kg

now total mass= m1+m2=0.625+0.208

Total mass=M=0.833 Kg

now F= ma

5= 0.833 (a)

a= 5/0.833

a=6m/s²

When a piece of metal mass of 72.17 g is

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The trick is in finding the volume.

Final Volume = 26.64

Initial Volume=20.92 Subtract

Metal Volume 5.72 cm^3

Density = mass / volume

Density = 72.17 / 5.72

Density = 12.617

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

V = 10.88 m/s

Explanation:

V_i =initial velocity = 0m/s

a= acceleration= gsinθ- $\mu_k$ cosθ

putting values we get

a= 9.8sin25-0.2cos25= 2.4 m/s^2

v_f= final velocity and d= displacement along the inclined plane = 10.4 m

using the equation

$v^2_f=v^2_i-2as$

$v^2_f=0^2-2(2.4)(10.4)$

v_f= 7.04 m/s

let the speed just before she lands be "V"

using conservation of energy

KE + PE at the edge of cliff = KE at bottom of cliff

(0.5) m V_f^2 + mgh = (0.5) m V^2

V^2 = V_f^2 + 2gh

V^2 = 7.04^2 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.5

V = 10.88 m/s
