Looking down on a Northern Hemisphere extratropical cyclone, surface winds blow ________ about the center. a.counterclockwise an

Answer:

counterclockwise and inward

Explanation:

Extratropical cyclones or mid-latitude cyclones are the low-pressure areas, along with anticyclones of the high-pressure areas that drive weather over much of the Earth.

<u>Due to the Coriolis effect, the flow of the wind around the extratropical cyclone is counterclockwise in direction in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in direction in the southern hemisphere.</u>

<u>It forms a comma shape which drives the forces inward the center.</u>

A child whose weight is 287 N slides down a 7.20 m playground slide that makes an angle of 31.0Â° with the horizontal. The coeff

natulia [17]

Answer:

a

$H =212.6 \ J$

b

$v = 7.647 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The child's weight is $W_c = 287 \ N$

The length of the sliding surface of the playground is $L = 7.20 \ m$

The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.120$

The angle is $\theta = 31.0 ^o$

The initial speed is $u = 0.559 \ m/s$

Generally the normal force acting on the child is mathematically represented as

=> $N = mg * cos \theta$

Note $m * g = W_c$

Generally the frictional force between the slide and the child is

$F_f = \mu * mg * cos \theta$

Generally the resultant force acting on the child due to her weight and the frictional force is mathematically represented as

$F =m* g sin(\theta) - F_f$

Here F is the resultant force and it is represented as $F = ma$

=> $ma = m* g sin(31.0) - \mu * mg * cos (31.0)$

=> $a = g sin(31.0)- \mu * g * cos (31.0)$

=> $a = 9.8 * sin(31.0) - 0.120 * 9.8 * cos (31.0)$

=> $a = 4.039 \ m/s^2$

So

$F_f = 0.120 * 287 * cos (31.0)$

=> $F_f = 29.52 \ N$

Generally the heat energy generated by the frictional force which equivalent tot the workdone by the frictional force is mathematically represented as

$H = F_f * L$

=> $H = 29.52 * 7.2$

=> $H =212.6 \ J$

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

=> $v^2 = 0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2$

=> $v = \sqrt{0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2}$

=> $v = 7.647 \ m/s$

When water vapor rises into the atmosphere and begins to condense, it releases ________, the energy of a thunderstorm.

zubka84 [21]

The answer is latent heat. The specific latent heat of vaporisation, L_v, of a substance is the energy input required for each kilogram to be converted from liquid to gas by evaporation. The 'specific' means per kilogram, so more generally latent heat of vaporisation is the energy taken in during the process for a given mass.

Here we are not vaporising the substance. We are in fact condensing it, the reverse process. All this means is the latent heat is released as electrostatic potential decreases in the water, as opposed to being absorbed. I hope this helps you :)
