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.

A tall tree has more chances to break during the strom why?​
S_A_V [24]

Explanation:

Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

On a trolley ride around an amusement park, a child travelled from one signpost to a second signpost at a constant speed of 125
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed given = 125 m /min

125 /60 m /s

In 450 second it will travel

= 450 x 125 / 60

=937.5 m.  

As the distance  is covered in less than 450 seconds , The distance must be less than 937.5 m

In 400 seconds , it will travel

= 400 x 125 / 60

833.33 m

Since the distance is covered in more than 400 seconds , the distance must be more than ie 833.33 .

Hence the distance covered is more than .833 m but less than 937.5

In either case these distance are more than .8 km .

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 9.4 s, reaching a speed of 11 m/s. It then collides with a s
Natalka [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,

KE_i = KE_f

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

V = Velocity

Replacing,

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (12000)(11)^2

KE_f = 72600J

Therefore the  final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ
