How does jet stream form

1 answer:

7 0

Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.

A 0.250 kg block on a vertical spring with spring constant of 4.45 ✕ 103 N/m is pushed downward, compressing the spring 0.080 m.

Elza [17]

Answer:h=5.81 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of block(m)=0.250 kg

Spring Constant $k=4.45\times 10^3 N/m$

Initial elongation =0.080 m=8 cm

Thus Initial Potential Energy stored =Final Potential Energy stored in Block

$P_i=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$P_i=\frac{4.45\times 10^3\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2}=14.24 J$

$P_f=mgh=0.25\times 9.8\times h$

$P_i=P_f$

$14.24 =0.25\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{14.24}{0.25\times 9.8}=5.81 m$

A car and a truck collide in an intersection and the merged wreck continues along. During the collision. both kinetic energy and

Vilka [71]

Answer:

C. Momentum is conserved but not kinetic energy.

Explanation:

This case represents an entirely inelastic collision, that is, a collision between the car and the truck that reduces total kinetic energy of the entire system, whereas linear momentum is conserved. Hence, correct answer is C.

Read through the and calculate the predicted change in kinetic energy of the oblect compared to 50 kg ball traveling at 10 m/s .

Sliva [168]

Answer:

A 50 kg ball traveling at 20 m/s would have 4 times more kinetic energy.

A 50 kg ball traveling at 5 m/s would have 4 times less kinetic energy.

A 50 kg person falling at 10 m/s would have the same kinetic energy.

Explanation:

hope this helps:)

Precipitation is greater over what and less over what?<br><br> A. Land, sea<br><br> B. Sea, land

Ksju [112]

I would say letter A to this because we need rain water for crops plants. Also we need it so that we can drink it. Its less great over sea because as it merge with the salt in the ocean it becomes less drinkable and less usable.
