What is air masses? And 5 effect of it​

Physics

Answer:

an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of miles, and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character.When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.

Air masses can affect the weather because of different air masses that are different in temperature, density, and moisture. When two different air masses meet a front forms. This is one way air masses effect our weather.

A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 20.5 m/s in the +y direction when one of its on board thruster tu
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a)  V_f = 25.514 m/s

b)  Q =53.46 degrees CCW from + x-axis

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial speed V_i = 20.5 j m/s

- Acceleration a = 0.31 i m/s^2

- Time duration for acceleration t = 49.0 s

Find:

(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?

(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.

Solution:

- We can apply the kinematic equation of motion for our problem assuming a constant acceleration as given:

                                   V_f = V_i + a*t

                                   V_f = 20.5 j + 0.31 i *49

                                   V_f = 20.5 j + 15.19 i

- The magnitude of the velocity vector is given by:

                                   V_f = sqrt ( 20.5^2 + 15.19^2)

                                   V_f = sqrt(650.9861)

                                  V_f = 25.514 m/s

- The direction of the velocity vector can be computed by using x and y components of velocity found above:

                                 tan(Q) = (V_y / V_x)

                                 Q = arctan (20.5 / 15.19)

                                 Q =53.46 degrees

- The velocity vector is at angle @ 53.46 degrees CCW from the positive x-axis.
