As strange as it may seem, around 75% world’s tornadoes

occur in the United States. It's actually because of the unique

geography of North America, and how the winds and storms

get funneled up through the US. (choice-b)


It's true that when there's a tornado, it usually comes along with a thunderstorm. But tornadoes are way way LESS common than thunderstorms.


Their main danger is from the high winds in the center of the funnel.

The rain is minor compared to the wind damage.


Tornadoes are not really the strongest storms on Earth.

Welll ... I guess that could depend on what "strong storm" means.

Sure, a tornado is incredibly vicious and powerful. But it's only a few

miles wide, and it only lasts for a few hours and then it's all over.

The tropical cyclones ... hurricanes, monsoons, typhoons ... don't have

winds as fast as tornadoes, but they can be a thousand miles wide and

last for weeks.

A 0.5-kg ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 2 m/s. If the impulse occurs
mart [117]

<em>Given that:</em>

                       mass of the ball (m) = 0.5 Kg ,

                    ball strikes the wall (v₁) = 5 m/s ,

rebounds in opposite direction (v₂) = 2 m/s,

                                time duration (t) = 0.01 s,

        <em> Determine the force (F) = ?</em>

We know that from Newton's II law,

                                <em>F = m. a</em>  Newtons  

                                  (velocity acting in opposite direction, so <em>a = ( (v₁ + v₂)/t</em>

                                   = m × (v₁ + v₂)/t

                                   = 0.5 × (5 + 2)/0.01

                                  = 350 N

<em>The force acting up on the ball is 350 N</em>

A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr
astraxan [27]

Answer:

x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

Area = \pi radius^2\\Area = \pi (0.028\ m)^2\\Area = 0.00246\ m^2

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

Atmospheric\ Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}\\\\Force = (Atmospheric\ Pressure)(Area)\\Force = (101325\ N/m^2)(0.00246\ m^2) \\Force = F = 249.56\ N

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

F = kx\\

where,

k = spring constant = 3400 N/m

x = compression = ?

Therefore,

<u>x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm</u>
