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.

a vector is 253 m long and points in a 55.8 degree direction, what’s the y and x- component of the vector?

BartSMP [9]

Well we know the hypotenuse of the triangle which is 253 m. And we know the angle of the triangle which is 55.8 degrees. So we want to find y. And to find y we use sin. And sin is a ratio, the ratio of the opposite leg, and hypotenuse. So sin(55.8) = y/253. Now we solve for y by multiplying both sides by 253. And finally we get 209.25 as the length of the y component.

A ball is spun around in circular motion such that it completes 50 rotations in 25 s.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

(A) The period of its rotation is 0.5 s (2) The frequency of its rotation is 2 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

a ball is spun around in circular motion such that it completes 50 rotations in 25 s.

(1). Let T be the period of its rotation. It can be calculated as follows :

$T=\dfrac{25}{50}\\\\T=0.5\ s$
