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.

What is the product of an object’s mass and velocity? momentum net force kinetic energy
kaheart [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is momentum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.

It is a term which describes the relationship between the mass of an object and the velocity of an object.

Momentum can be represented in the form of an equation as:

P = mv

where P is the momentum,

m is the mass of the object; and v is the velocity of that object.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, what will an object in motion do when no external force acts on it?
KonstantinChe [14]

By definition, we have to:

Newton's first law states that any object will remain in a state of rest or with a uniform rectilinear motion unless an external force acts on it.

Therefore, according to the first law of Newton, if the object is already in motion and has no force acting on it then, it will remain with a uniform rectilinear motion.

Answer:

The object will remain with a uniform rectilinear movement when the external force does not act on it.
