Answer: Gradient Wind

Explanation:

Gradient wind, is the wind that accounts for air flow along a curved trajectory. It is an extension of the concept of geostrophic wind; for example the wind assumed to move along straight and parallel isobars (lines of equal pressure). The gradient wind represents the actual wind better than the geostrophic wind, especially when both wind speed and trajectory curvature are large, because they are in hurricanes and jet streams.

In a football game, a 90 kg receiver leaps straight up in the air to catch the 0.42 kg ball the quarterback threw to him at a vi
irinina [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum. Mathematically this can be expressed as

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

v_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object

v_f= Final Velocity

Since the receiver's body is static for the initial velocity we have that the equation would become

m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

(0.42)(21) = (90+0.42)v_f

v_f = 0.0975m/s

Therefore the velocity right after catching the ball is 0.0975m/s

What would happen if both the radius and mass of a planet were cut in half
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

According to formula

g = GM/R^2

when mass is halved the value of g becomes half but when radius is halved the value of g increases 4 times.

As a result of both value of g becomes twice.
