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 car and a truck are moving next to each other on the highway. The truck has a mass of 910 kg and the car’s mass is 227 kg. IF

eimsori [14]

Answer:

<h2>the car must move with the speed</h2><h2> $v = 72.16 m/s$ </h2>

Explanation:

As we know that the momentum of the car and truck is same

so as per the formula of momentum we have

$P = mv$

so we have

$m_1v_1 = m_2v_2$

so we will have

$910 \times 18 = 227 v$

$v = 72.16 m/s$

So the car must move with the speed

$v = 72.16 m/s$

An architect is redesigning a rectangular room on the blueprints of a house. She decides to double the width of the room, increa

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:3.6

Explanation:

Given

Architect decide to double the width

length increases by 50 percent

height increases by 20 percent

Let L,B,H be length,height and width of rectangular room

L'=1.5L

B'=2B

H'=1.2H

therefore new volume V'=L'\times B'\times H'

$V'=1.5L\times 2B\times 1.2H$

V'=3.6LBH

new volume is 3.6 times the original

Imagine a negative test charge sitting at the coordinate origin (0,0). Two bunches of positive charges are located on the x-axis

Oxana [17]

Answer:

the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

from the Image, OA = 1, OB = AC = 1

so using Pythagoras theorem

a² = b² + c²

a = √( b² + c² )

OC = √( OB² + AC² )

we substitute

OC = √( OA² + AC² )

OC = √( 1² + 1² )

OC = √( 1 + 1 )

OC = √2

Coordinate of C( 1, 1 )

Hence, the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

The car travels 25 miles in the first 0.5 hours

Westkost [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf v = 50\ miles / hr}$

Explanation:

<u>Given Data:</u>

Distance = S = 25 miles

Time = t = 0.5 hours

<u>Required:</u>

Speed = v = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

v = S/t

<u>Solution:</u>

v = 25 / 0.5

v = 50 miles / hr

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!
