Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Well, a hurricane is a storm with violent winds (more less with a force of 12 in the scale that measures winds) and it happens especially in the Caribbean sea. While a typhoon is also a strong storm but it happens especially in the Indian region and the western pacific oceans.

In conclusion, their difference is the area in which they happen.

A bird sits on top of a 639 m tall tower. If it's gravitational potential energy up there is 2033 J, what is its mass?

iris [78.8K]

The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,

$\text {Gravitational potential energy}=m \times \text { Acceleration } \times \text { Distance of bird from bottom }$

So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.

$m o f \text { bird }=\frac{\text {Gravitational potential energy}}{a \times \text {Distance}}=\frac{2033}{9.8 \times 639}=\frac{2033}{6262.2}$

So, finally we get the bird's mass as,

m of bird = 0.32 kg

Velocity is the

ale4655 [162]

Okay, hun. Velocity is a vector quantity that measures displacement over a period of time. Velocity = Speed/Time (v=s/t). Hope this helped you. I took physics over 4 years ago. I'm more of a biology/chemistry person. (I major in those)

A plane stops from 250 mph in 25 seconds. Calculate the plane's acceleration.

Lelechka [254]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 250 mph

v = 0 mph

t = 25 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 mph) = a (25 s) + (250 mph)

a = -10 mph/s
