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]3 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.

A revolutionary war cannon, with a mass of 2260 kg, fires a 15.5 kg ball horizontally. The cannonball has a speed of 109 m/s aft
Anton [14]

Answer:

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

Explanation:

We need solve this problem though the conservation of momentum. That is,

m_1 v_1 = m_2 v_2

m_1=2260Kg\\m_2=15.5Kg\\v_2= 109m/s

Using the equation to find v_1,

v_1=\frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1}\\v_1=\frac{15.5*109}{2260}\\v_1= 0.7475

Using the conservation of energy equation, we have,

KE= \frac{1}{2}m*v^2

KE_{cball}=\frac{1}{2}(15.5)(109)^2=92077.75J

KE_{cannon}=\frac{1}{2}(2260)(0.7475)^2=631.39J

Total KE= 92077.75+13425530=92708.9J

Now this energy over the cannonball

KE=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2

92708.9=\frac{1}{2}15.5v_2^2

V_2 = 109.37m/s

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

When electrons are shared unequally a/an<br> bond is formed
givi [52]
Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms and are attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In pure covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally, as one atom exerts a stronger force of attraction on the electrons than the other.

How does the lever arm change if you decrease the angle of the force?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The lever arm could decrease or increase depending of the initial angle.

Explanation:

The lever arm d is calculated by:

d = rsin(θ)

where r is the radius and θ the angle between the force and the radius.

So, the increse or decrees of d depends of the sin of the angle θ, if the initial angle is greather than 90° and the angle decrease to an angle closer to 90°, the lever arm will increase but if the initial angle is 90° or lower and the angle decrease, the lever arm will decrease.
