Typically during thunderstorms most lightning strikes carry a negative electric charge; only a few carry a positive charge. Thun

derstorms with unusually high proportions of positive-charge strikes tend to occur in smoky areas near forest fires. The fact that smoke carries positively charged smoke particles into the air above a fire suggests the hypothesis that the extra positive strikes occur because of the presence of such particles in the storm clouds. Which of the following, if discovered to be true, most seriously undermines the hypothesis?
(A) Other kinds of rare lightning also occur with unusually high frequency in the vicinity of forest fires.
(B) The positive-charge strikes that occur near forest fires tend to be no more powerful than positive strikes normally are.
(C) A positive-charge strike is as likely to start a forest fire as a negative charge strike is.
(D) Thunderstorms that occur in drifting clouds of smoke have extra positive-charge strikes weeks after the charge of the smoke particles has dissipated.
(E) The total number of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm is usually within the normal range in the vicinity of a forest fire.

Answer:<em> Option (D) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

Considering the hypothesis elaborated in this comprehension, it's given that areas that tend to lie near forest fires usually have extra positive strikes since smoke carries positively charged particles. In rudimentary term, this states that occurrence of positively charged particles will result in extra positive strikes.

Option (D) states that occurrence of extra positive strikes will be there even weeks after the charge of smoke particles have been dissociated.

Therefore this option, most seriously undermines the hypothesis.

What does addition of two vectors give you?
mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

To add or subtract two vectors, add or subtract the corresponding components. Let →u=⟨u1,u2⟩ and →v=⟨v1,v2⟩ be two vectors. The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant. The resultant of two vectors can be found using either the parallelogram method or the triangle method .

"A 78-year-old woman has a mean arterial pressure of 120 mm Hg and a heart rate of 60 beats/min. She has a stroke volume of 50 m
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

Explanation:

Arterial pressure = 120 mm Hg

right atrial pressure = 0 mm Hg

Drop in pressure due to peripheral resistance = 120 mm Hg

volume of cardiac output per minute = 3000 mL/min

total  peripheral resistance

= 120 / 3000 mm Hg / mL / min

= 0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

Which would BEST describes what occurs when a ball is thrown against a wall? A) The ball will not bounce off the wall. B) The ba
oee [108]

Answer:

D) The ball exerts a force on the wall and the wall exerts a force back.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on another object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A"

In this problem, we can identify (for instance) object A with tha ball and object B with the wall. Therefore, if we apply Newton's third law, we get:

The ball (object A) exerts a force on the wall (object B), therefore the wall (object B) exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball (object A). So, option D is the correct one.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

The maximum amount of meat that the butcher can sell is  3\frac{1}{12}\:lb

Explanation:

The maximum amount can be found by taking the difference of mixed numbers.

5\frac{3}{4}-2\frac{2}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:5-2=3\\\\\mathrm{Combine\:fractions:\:}\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{12}\\\\=3\frac{1}{12}\\

If two objects of the same size move through the air at different speeds, which encounters the greater air resistance?a. The fas
blagie [28]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

  • Speed of the object
  • Cross-sectional area of the object
  • Shape of the object

Formula:

F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
