Answer:

The leeward side of a mountain is often _____.

cold

hot

wet

Explanation:

The answer is Dry.

By the time air reaches the leeward side of a mountain, much of the moisture is lost. This dry area is called a rain shadow. Rain shadows can extend for hundreds of kilometers downwind of a mountain range

One side of the mountain that has constant wind and rain blowing onto it, is more likely to catch what is falling than the other side leaving it dryer.

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Being positively charged, the protons repel each other. The nucleus should fly apart

Arte-miy333 [17]

this is due to the existence of other forces called the strong nuclear forces that overcomes the repulsion forces between the protons and keeps the nucleons holding to each other also there is a type of energy that is called the nuclear binding energy and this energy also works on binding the components of the nucleus together

A hanging weight, with a mass of m1 = 0.365 kg, is attached by a string to a block with mass m2 = 0.825 kg as shown in the figur

morpeh [17]

The speed of the block after it has moved the given distance away from the initial position is 1.1 m/s.

<h3>Angular Speed of the pulley </h3>

The angular speed of the pulley after the block m1 fall through a distance, d, is obatined from conservation of energy and it is given as;

K.E = P.E

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2 = mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0^2 + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2(m_1R^2_2 + m_2R_2^2) + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2( \frac{1}{2} MR_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} MR_2^2) = m_1gd- \mu_km_2gd\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0^2 + \frac{1}{2} \omega^2[R_2^2(m_1 + m_2)+ \frac{1}{2} M(R_1^2 + R_2^2)] = gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\$

$\frac{1}{2} m_2v_0 + \frac{1}{4} \omega^2[2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\2m_2v_0 + \omega^2 [2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2)\\\\\omega^2 [2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)] = 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2\\\\\omega^2 = \frac{ 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2}{2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)} \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{ 4gd(m_1 - \mu_k m_2) - 2m_2v_0^2}{2R_2^2(m_1 + m_2) + M(R^2_1 + R^2_2)}} \\\\$

Substitute the given parameters and solve for the angular speed;

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{ 4(9.8)(0.7)(0.365 \ - \ 0.25\times 0.825) - 2(0.825)(0.82)^2}{2(0.03)^2(0.365 \ + \ 0.825)\ \ +\ \ 0.35(0.02^2\ + \ 0.03^2)}} \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{3.25}{0.00214\ + \ 0.000455 } } \\\\\omega = 35.39 \ rad/s$

<h3>Linear speed of the block</h3>

The linear speed of the block after travelling 0.7 m;

v = ωR₂

v = 35.39 x 0.03

v = 1.1 m/s

Thus, the speed of the block after it has moved the given distance away from the initial position is 1.1 m/s.
