Answer:

Higher, Windward side, Condenses

Explanation:

The Windward side refers to that side of a mountain that faces the direction from which the wind is blowing. In this direction, the moisture containing hot air blowing from a distant place moves upward and strikes the mountain at a greater height, where the air mass is thin and the temperature is relatively cold. As the temperature and pressure decrease with altitude, the hot uprising air cools and gradually condenses. This results in the occurrence of high precipitation over this region i.e. the windward side of the mountain.

Therefore, the precipitation is always higher on the windward side of a mountain as the hot air undergoes condensation at greater height as it rises upward.

Which statements describe velocity and acceleration? Check all that apply.
Tom [10]

Velocity is defined by rate of change in the position

which we can also write as

v = \frac{ds}{dt}

while acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so acceleration and velocity both are rate of change in position and rate of change in velocity with respect to time respectively

out of all above statement the correct answer must be

<u>Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time. </u>

How are acceleration and speed related​
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing. Comment on robshowsides's post “Speed is the magnitude of velocity.

Use the diagram to answer each question.
valentina_108 [34]

Figure A shows cross section of a land form or rock. In Figure B, compression stress is applied on it. When compression stresses are applied on a rock, it squeezes the rock cause fold or fracture. The fault formed by compression stress is called thrust fault. If the compression stresses/ force continue to act on a rock it will converge and form thrust fault. In Figure C, tension stresses is applied on the rock. When a tension stress applied on a rock it deforms/ lengthen. There are three type of deformations occur due to tension stresses. One is elastic deformation, in which, rock retains it original shape when force/stresses are removed. Second is plastic deformation, in which rock lengthen and change occur permanently. Third type of deformation is result into fracture or breaking of rock. In Figure C, shear stresses are applied on rock. Shear stresses are applied with equal magnitude but in opposite direction. It cause breaking of rock.

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m
