Raindrops are falling straight down at 11 m/s when suddenly the wind starts blowing horizontally at a brisk 5.0 m/s. From your p

Answer: 24.4 degrees to the vertical

Explanation:

Vertical component of raindrop speed = 11m/s

Horizontal component of wind = 5m/s

In this case, all we have to do is to use trigonometric ratios of angles to sides as in a triangle

Doing this, we see that

tan (theta) = 5/11

(Where theta is the angle made with the vertical by the rain after impact)

Tan being opposite/adjacent

Arc sin (5/11) gives us 24.44 degrees to the vertical

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

500 hours

Explanation:

The sum of total hours over its lifetime will be given by

T=\frac {T_o}{1-r}

Where T is total time, r is rate in decimal and To is the original charge hours. Substituting the original charge hours with 5 hours and rate as 0.99 then the time will be

T=\frac {5\ hours}{1-0.88}=500\ hours

Therefore, the time is equivalent to 500 hours

How is precipitation related to high and low pressure air?
Ymorist [56]
A pressure system is a relative peak or lull in the sea level pressure distribution. The surface pressure at sea level varies minimally, with the lowest value measured 87 kilopascals (26 inHg) and the highest recorded 108.57 kilopascals (32.06 inHg). High- and low-pressure systems evolve due to interactions of temperature differentials in the atmosphere, temperature differences between the atmosphere and water within oceans and lakes, the influence of upper-level disturbances jargon as well as the amount of solar heating or radiational cooling an area receives. Pressure systems cause weather experienced locally. Low-pressure systems are associated with clouds and precipitation that minimize temperature changes through the day, whereas high-pressure systems normally associated with dry weather and mostly clear skies with larger diurnal temperature changes due to greater radiation at night and greater sunshine during the day. Pressure systems are analyzed by those in the field of meteorology within surface weather maps.
