What accounts for the two precipitation peaks in mbandaka?

1 answer:

7 0

The two precipitation peaks in Mbandaka during March to April and September to November is due to the intertropical convergence zone.

Intertropical convergence zone is a narrow zone located near the equator. It is where the northern and southern air masses intersect which results to low atmospheric pressure. Due to the intertropical convergence zone’s meeting of air masses, often times the air pressure are lower which will results to colder air, or even rainfall during the period of March to April, and most especially September to November in Mbandaka.

<span>Since Mbandaka is located at the cented of Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe area, which is named as a Wetland of International importance, there is really a bigger chance that this place experience above 60mm precipitation in a year, temperatures averaging from 23 – 26 degrees Celsius.</span>

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the critical angle be C .

sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .

sinC = 1 /1.2

= .833

C = 56°

Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )

sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence

sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67

i = 42°.

Consider a highway composed of concrete. If the road is 4.5 km long, 30 m wide, and 0.70 m thick, what is its mass?

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need to assume that the density of the concrete is about 2350 Kg/m^3. And using the dimensions of the highway we can calculate the volume of the highway.

$vh=4500 * 30 * 0,70\\vh=94500 m^3\\den=m/v\\m=den*v\\m=2350*94500\\\\m=222075 ton$

A tube 1.20 m long is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end. The wire is 0.350 m long and has a mass o

Ksju [112]

Answer:

71.4583 Hz

67.9064 N

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 1.2 m

l = Length of wire = 0.35 m

m = Mass of wire = 9.5 g

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

The fundamental frequency of the tube (closed at one end) is given by

$f=\frac{v}{4L}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{343}{4\times 1.2}\\\Rightarrow f=71.4583\ Hz$

The fundamental frequency of the wire and tube is equal so he fundamental frequency of the wire is 71.4583 Hz

The linear density of the wire is

$\mu=\frac{m}{l}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.5\times 10^{-3}}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.02714\ kg/m$

The fundamental frequency of the wire is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\frac{T}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow T=f^2\mu 4l^2\\\Rightarrow T=71.4583^2\times 0.02714\times 4\times 0.35^2\\\Rightarrow T=67.9064\ N$

The tension in the wire is 67.9064 N
