Answer:

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale gives 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's wind speed, storm surge and potential property damage. It rates according to categories. When placed at Hurricanes of Category 3 and above, they are termed major catastrophic hurricanes because of their potential for loss of life and damages of property. Ratings at Category 1 and 2 storms are dangerous but can be prevented by following directed measures.

Florida situated directly in the hurricane at east coast , had experiened Category 1- Category 5 ratings from hurricane and noticed in Land fall in Florida since 1894 with Winds ranging from 74-95 mph with some dangerous damages which can lead damages to Well-built homes, dedtroying roofs , Uprooting shallow rooted trees, and causing power outages due to destruction of poles

to 157 mph or higher causing Catastrophic damages making the area inhabitable due to loss of life and properties.

For example, Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 attacked Florida’s east coast resulting to a Category 2 storm producing tropical storm force winds,heavy rain and storm surge leading to damages of roof of building and disruption of power poles.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The direction is that of a 3rd quadrant angle

Explanation:

when you have 2 45 angles it equals to 90 then with the 90 we multiply by 2 due to the 2 adjacent angles equating to 180 which swings it to the 3rd quadrant angle

When Royce was 10 years old, he had a mass of
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

<em>The gravitational force between Royce and Earth would be doubled at 16 years.</em>

Explanation:

<em>"Newton's law of universal gravitation states that gravitation force between two masses is proportional to the magnitude of their masses and inverse-squared of their distance".</em>

Royce Scenario

At the age of 10 Royce's mass = 30kg

At the age of 16 Royce's mass = 60kg

From Newton's law of universal gravitation, an Increase in the mass of a body would amount to a corresponding increase in the gravitational force.

In the case of Royce, the mass double between the age of 10 and 16, so there would be an increase of the gravitation force by double.

A 1.0 kg ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the ball?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

If this helps, to work out the kinetic energy the formula is K (stands for kinetic energy) = 1/2 (half of) mass and velocity. So the answer is 450 joules.
