True or False:A wind is a horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure.

Physics
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

  • When the air blows from high pressure to an area of low pressure over the surface of the earth it is called wind.
  • The greater the pressure difference more is the speed of the wind. The instrument used to measure the speed of the wind is called an anemometer.
  • The winds are named after the direction from which they flow.
  • Calm winds are the slowest of its kind whereas the gale-winds are the strongest winds.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

minimum length of a surface crack is 18.3 mm

Explanation:

Given data

plane strain fracture toughness K = 82.4 MPa m1/2

stress σ = 345 MPa

Y = 1

to find out

the minimum length of a surface crack

solution

we will calculate length by this formula

length = 1/π ( K / σ Y)²

put all value

length = 1/π ( K / σ Y)²

length = 1/π ( 82.4 10^{3/2} / 345× 1)²

length = 18.3 mm

minimum length of a surface crack is 18.3 mm

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 — off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5 m horizontally
emmainna [20.7K]

Complete Question

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of   4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The  pumpkin's vertical displacement  is  H = 27 .67 \ m

The  pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is  v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  horizontal speed is  v_h  =  4 m/s

    The horizontal distance traveled is  d =  9.5 \ m

The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

           S =  v_h * t

Where t is the time taken

substituting values

          9.5 =  4 * t

   =>     t =  \frac{9.5}{4}

            t = 2.38 \ sec

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

        H  =  v_v t  +  \frac{1}{2} a_v t^2

now the vertical velocity before the throw is  zero

    So

          H =  0 +  \frac{1}{2} (9.8) * (2.375)^2

          H = 27 .67 \ m

Now the final vertical velocity  is mathematically represented as

          v_v__{f}} =  v_v + at

  substituting values

             v_v__{f}} =  0 + (9.8)* (2.375)

            v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \  m/s

Compare and contrast the theories about the origin of the universe
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The best-supported theory of our universe's origin centers on an event known as the big bang. This theory was born of the observation that other galaxies are moving away from our own at great speed in all directions, as if they had all been propelled by an ancient explosive force.

hope this helps tho i don't quite know what you mean
