Answer:

The factors which have the largest influence on the formation and direction of the asiatic monsoons are:

Moisture-laden or <em>Humid </em> winds. The presence of abundant water bodies around the subcontinent such as the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean. These help moisture accumulate in the winds during the hot season.
Droplet formation
Land form barriers (that is Highlands) such as Himalayas, the western Ghats of India, and the Annamese Highlands of Vietnam

Explanation:

The term monsoon comes from the Arabic word <em>mausim</em>, meaning

season.

As a meteorological term, monsoon refers to the directional shifting of winds from one season to the next.

It may also be referred to as a seasonal prevailing wind in the region of South and South-East Asia, blowing from the south-west between May and September and bringing rain (the wet monsoon ), or from the north-east between October and April (the dry monsoon).

Usually, the monsoon occurs when a humid wind blowing from the ocean toward the land in the summer shifts to a dry, cooler wind blowing seaward off the land in the winter, and it involves a full 180° direction change in the wind.

Orographic barriers (that is highlands in the path of the winds) force the winds to rise. Precipitation then occurs on the windward side of the highlands because of adiabatic cooling and condensation of the moist rising air.

The horizontal speed of the object 1.0 seconds later is 1) 5.0 m/s.

Explanation:

The motion of an object thrown horizontally off a cliff is a projectile motion, which follows a parabolic path that consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

This means that the horizontal speed of an object in projectile motion does not change, and remains constant during the whole motion.

Since in this case the object has been launched with a horizontal speed of

v = 5.0 m/s

this means that this speed will remain constant during the motion, so its horizontal speed 1.0 s later is also 5.0 m/s.

Use your knowledge of waves to explain why echoes occur. Use your explanation to devise a system to measure distances to objects

german

Explanation:

Echoes occur due to the reflection of sound from any obstacle, but not all the reflected sound waves lead to the phenomenon of echo. For the echo to be heard it actually depends upon the human perception as well, human ears can encounter the difference between the sound wave directly form the source and the reflected sound waves only if there is a minimum time gap of one-tenth of a second. For this time gap in the atmosphere at normal temperature and pressure the obstacle must be at least 7 meters away from the sound source.

A long, straight metal rod has a radius of 5.75 cm and a charge per unit length of 33.3 nC/m. Find the electric field at the fol

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question;

We will make assumptions of certain values since they are not given but the process to achieve the end result will be the same thing.

We are to calculate the following task, i.e. to determine the electric field at the distances:

a) at 4.75 cm

b) at 20.5 cm

c) at 125.0 cm

Given that:

the charge (q) = 33.3 nC/m

= 33.3 × 10⁻⁹ c/m

radius of rod = 5.75 cm

a) from the given information, we will realize that the distance lies inside the rod. Provided that there is no charge distribution inside the rod.

Then, the electric field will be zero.

b) The electric field formula $E = \dfrac{kq }{d}$

$E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{0.205}$

E = 1461.95 N/C

c) The electric field E is calculated as:

$E = \dfrac{9 \times 10^9 \times (33.3 \times 10^{-9}) }{1.25}$

E = 239.76 N/C
