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.

Consider the circular motion of a positively charged particle in the plane of this paper, due to a constant magnetic field B~ wh
barxatty [35]

Answer:

the direction of the particle is anti clockwise.

Explanation:

We know that;

- It's a positive particle

- That it's moving in a circle in a magnetic field

- We know the direction of the magnetic field

We can deduce the direction of the magnetic force because it is moving in a circle.

So the force is pointing to the centre of the circle and that's what is keeping it in that circular motion.

Since we know the direction of the magnetic field and force, we can use right hand rule to figure out the direction of the particle since the particle is positive.

Using right hand rule, the thumb which is the particle is pointing anticlockwise. So the direction of the particle is anti clockwise.

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons is called
Karolina [17]

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for electrons, the bond is called a Polar covalent bond.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A covalent chemical bond is formed in case of two different non-metals when one or more electron pairs are shared between bonding atoms. A difference in electronegativity of subsequent atoms of a covalent bond leads to formation of a small net charge around nucleus of each atom, pulling the shared electrons to one side of the bond, to the nucleus which has higher electronegativity.

HCl is an example of polar covalent bond and the HCl bond has Chlorine more electronegative. The bonding electrons are more close to Cl than H and hence Cl is partially negatively charged than H which has partial positive charge (HCl bond : H^{+} - Cl^{-}). When electrons shared in a covalent bond have equal attraction, the bond is a Non-Polar covalent bond.

The momentum of an electron is 1.75 times larger than the value computed non-relativistically. What is the speed of the electron
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

<em>Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = M_{0} V

where M_{0} is the rest mass of the electron

V is the velocity of the electron.

under relativistic effect, the mass increases.

under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be

M = M_{0}/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

where

\beta = V/c

c  is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

V is the speed with which the electron travels.

The new momentum will therefore be

==> M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have

1.75M_{0} V = M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

the equation reduces to

1.75 = 1/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

square both sides of the equation, we have

3.0625 = 1/(1 - \beta ^{2} )

3.0625 - 3.0625\beta ^{2} = 1

2.0625 = 3.0625\beta ^{2}

\beta ^{2} = 0.67

β = 0.819

substitute for  \beta = V/c

V/c = 0.819

V = c x 0.819

V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = <em>2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>
