Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J

Which prediction of weather is the most accurate for the next two days if there is an occluded front over the area?
alisha [4.7K]

The most accurate weather for the next two days would be dry warm weather or severe thunderstorms if there is an occluded front over the area.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The weather front that is created during the cyclogenesis process is an occluded front in meteorology. Cyclogenesis process is the development of extra-tropical cyclone and its intensification.

During the occurrence of this, the warm air is occluded (separated) from the center of cyclone at the surface of the earth.

The cold front rotates the storm as it intensifies and holds up the warm front. This develops an occluded front, that is the boundary which separates the new cold air mass and the older cool air mass that is already in warm front's north.
