Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.

That particular group of elements is reffered to as the "Noble Gasses"--a title that comes from the fact that these gases are very "secure" and don't mix well with other elements.

A bicyclist starting at rest produces a constant angular acceleration of 1.30 rad/s2 for wheels that are 35.5 cm in radius.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) 0.462 m/s^2

b) 31.5 rad/s

c) 381 rad

d) 135m

Explanation:

the linear acceleration is given by:

a=\alpha *r\\a=1.30rad/s^2*(35.5*10^{-2}m)\\a=0.462m/s^2

the angular speed is given by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\\\omega=\frac{11.2m/s}{35.5*10^{-2}m}\\\\\omega=31.5rad/s

to calculate how many radians have the wheel turned we need the apply the following formula:

\theta=\frac{1}{2}\alpha*t^2\\\\t=\frac{\omega}{\alpha}\\\\t=\frac{31.5rad/s}{1.30rad/s^2}\\\\t=24.2s\\\\\theta=\frac{1}{2}*1.30rad/s^2*(24.2s)^2\\\\\theta=381rad

the distance is given by:

d=\theta*r

d=381rad*(35.5*10^{-2}m)\\d=135m
