What causes winds to form?

1 answer:

4 0

Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the heavier car m_1 = 1750 kg

Mass of the lighter car m_2 = 1350 kg

The speed of the lighter car just after collision can be represented as follows

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2=\frac{(1850)(1.4)+(1450)(-1.10)-(1850)(0.250)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590+(-1595)-(462.5)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590-1595-462.5}{1450} \\\\=\frac{532.5}{1450}\\\\=0.367m/s$

b) the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision

$\Delta K.E=(\frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2)-(\frac{1}{2} m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2u_2^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (m_1(v_1^2-u_1^2)+m_2(v_2^2-u_2^2))$

substitute the value in the equation above

$=\frac{1}{2} (1850((0.250)^2-(1.4)^2)+(1450((0.3670)^2-(-1.10)^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(11850(0.0625-1.96)+(1450(0.1347)-(1.21))\\\\= \frac{1}{2}(11850(-1.8975))+(1450(-1.0753))\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-3510.375+(-1559.185)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-5069.56)\\\\=-2534.78J$

Hence, the change in combine kinetic energy is -2534.78J

How to understand that an inductor behaves like short circuit and capacitor like an open circuit in steady state in a network?

garik1379 [7]

It depends on the steady-state frequency. At zero frequency an inductor behaves like an open circuit. As the frequency increases, the inductor acts more like an open circuit and a capacitator acts more like a short circuit

In Young’s two slit experiment, the first dark fringe above the central bright fringe occurs at an angle of 0.44˚. What is the r

melomori [17]

Answer:

d / λ = 26.7

Explanation:

In Young's double slit experiment, constructive interference is described by the expression

d sin θ = m λ

In the case of destructive interference we must add half wavelength (λ/2)

d siyn θ = (m + ½) λ

Let's clear

d / λ = (m + ½) / sin θ

Let's calculate

d / λ = (2+ ½) / sin 5.4

d / λ = 5 / (2 sin 5.4)

d / λ = 26.7
