kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Continental polar (cP) or continental arctic (cA) air masses are cold, dry, and stable. These air masses originate over northern Canada and Alaska as a result of radiational cooling. Maritime polar (mP) air masses are cool, moist, and unstable.

Match each type of wave to the way it moves.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Transverse wave- Back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave arrow.

longitudinal wave- bask and forth in the direction of the motion of the motion of the wave.

electromagnetic wave- two alternating waves moving at right angles to each other.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate at right angles in reference to the wave motion.

In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave motion

Electromagnetic waves occur as a result of the interaction between two waves and are normally transverse in nature.

What is the moment of inertia of an object that rolls without slipping down a 2.00-m-high incline starting from rest, and has a

Paha777 [63]

$E = mgh + \frac{1}2} m v^{2} + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2} = mgh + \frac{1}2} m r ^{2} \omega ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}$

for a solid cylinder: $I = \frac{1}{2} m r^{2}$
for a hollow cylinder: $I = mr^{2}$

I will look at the case of a hollow cylinder:

$E = mgh + I \omega ^{2} = constant \\ \\ I = \frac{mgh}{ \omega^{2} }$

That is as far as i get.
