Answer:

Cold Front

Warm Front

Stationary Front

Occluded front

A cold front forms when a cold air mass pushes into a warmer air mass

A warm front forms when a warm air mass pushes into a cooler air mass

A stationary front forms when a cold front or warm front stops moving

At an occluded front, the cold air mass from the cold front meets the cool air that was ahead of the warm front

Answer:

Stationary Front, warm front, cold front, Occluded Front.

Explanation:

Stationary Front. When the surface position of a front does not change (when two air masses are unable to push against each other; a draw), a stationary front is formed.

cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and lies within a pronounced surface trough of low pressure. It often forms behind an extratropical cyclone (to the west in the Northern Hemisphere, to the east in the Southern), at the leading edge of its cold air advection pattern—known as the cyclone's dry "conveyor belt" flow. Temperature differences across the boundary can exceed 30 °C (86 °F) from one side to the other. When enough moisture is present, rain can occur along the boundary. If there is significant instability along the boundary, a narrow line of thunderstorms can form along the frontal zone. If instability is weak, a broad shield of rain can move in behind the front, and evaporative cooling of the rain can increase the temperature difference across the front. Cold fronts are stronger in the fall and spring transition seasons and weakest during the summer.

A warm front is a density discontinuity located at the leading edge of a homogeneous warm air mass, and is typically located on the equator-facing edge of an isotherm gradient. Warm fronts lie within broader troughs of low pressure than cold fronts, and move more slowly than the cold fronts which usually follow because cold air is denser and less easy to remove from the Earth's surface. This also forces temperature differences across warm fronts to be broader in scale. Clouds ahead of the warm front are mostly stratiform, and rainfall gradually increases as the front approaches. Fog can also occur preceding a warm frontal passage. Clearing and warming is usually rapid after frontal passage. If the warm air mass is unstable, thunderstorms may be embedded among the stratiform clouds ahead of the front, and after frontal passage thundershowers may continue. On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is marked with a red line of semicircles pointing in the direction of travel.

In meteorology, an occluded front is a weather front formed during the process of cyclogenesis. The classical view of an occluded front is that they are formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, such that the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the surface. The point where the warm front becomes the occluded front is called the triple point; a new area of low-pressure that develops at this point is called a triple-point low. A more modern view of the formation process suggests that occluded fronts form directly during the wrap-up of the baroclinic zone during cyclogenesis, and then lengthen due to flow deformation and rotation around the cyclone.

What is the time it takes an object that moves at 25 m/min to travel 505 meters?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

25 meters = 1 minute

505 meters = ? minutes

Therefore, 505/25

Therefore, 101/5

Therefore, 2.2 minutes

It moves 505 meters in 2.2min

A ball is thrown straight up with a velocity of 50 m/s.(use g = -10 m/s^2) a) What is the velocity in m/s after 2 seconds?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

(a) 30 m/sec

(b) -50 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity of ball u = 50 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=-10m/sec^2

(a) Time t = 2 sec

Now according to first equation of v = u-gt

So v=50-10×2=30 m/sec

(b) Time t = 10 sec

Now according to first equation of motion

So final velocity v = u-gt = 50-10×10 =-50 m/sec

A 120-V rms voltage at 1000 Hz is applied to an inductor, a 2.00-μF capacitor and a 100-Ω resistor, all in series. If the rms va
natima [27]

Answer:

The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 120-V

Frequency = 1000 Hz

Capacitor C= 2.00\mu F

Current = 0.680 A

We need to calculate the inductance of the inductor

Using formula of current

I = \dfrac{V}{Z}

Z=\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}

Put the value of Z into the formula

I=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{R^2+(L\omega-\dfrac{1}{C\omega})^2}}

Put the value into the formula

0.680=\dfrac{120}{\sqrt{(100)^2+(L\times2\pi\times1000-\dfrac{1}{2\times10^{-6}\times2\pi\times1000})^2}}

L=35.8\ mH

Hence, The inductance of the inductor is 35.8 mH
