Answer:

The leeward side of a mountain is often _____.

 

cold

 

hot

 

<u><em>dry </em></u>

 

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.

D. 51 N. The minimum applied force that will cause the television slide is 51 N.

In order to solve this problem we have to use the force of static friction equation Fs = μs*n, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, and n is the normal force m*g.

With μs = 0.35, and n = 15kg*9.8m/s² = 147 N

Fs = (0.35)(147 N)

Fs = 51.45 N

Fs ≅ 51 N

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

If pressure is increased from 200 kPa to 300 kPa, and the original volume of gas was 1.5 L, what is the new volume? Assume the t
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      V2 = 1 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 200 kPa

P2 = 300 kPa

V1 = 1.5 l

V2 = ?

Formula

                          P1V1 = P2V2

                          V2 = (P1V1) / P2

                          V2 = (200 x 1.5) / 300

                          V2 = 1 l

an object is acted on by a drag force with a magnitude that is proportional to the speed. the object accelerates downward at 3.0
Nutka1998 [239]

The terminal speed of the object falling down is 66.67 m/s.

The terminal speed acquired by the body when,

Weight of the body = Drag force of the body

It is given,

Drag force is directly proportional to the speed,

So,

F = CV

Where F is drag force,

V is the speed,

C is the constant,

So, it can be written as C = F/V.

The weight of the body = mg

The weight of the body = 10m

M is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity,

The drag force when the speed is 20m/s.

Drag force = ma

a is the acceleration during the drag force which is given to be 3m/s²,

Drag force = 3m

Now we can write,

F₁/V₁ = F₂/V₂

F₁ is the drag force at 20m/s speed.

F₂ is the weight of the body and V₂ is the terminal speed,

Now, it can be written,

3m/20 = 10m/V₂

V₂ = 66.67 m/s.

So, the terminal speed is 66.67m/s.
