Answer: horse latitudes

Explanation:

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Doldrums are located some 5 degrees away from north while horse latitude is located some thirty degrees away from north latitude and by same degrees from the southern hemisphere. Polar eastariles are cold winds blowing across the Polar Regions and jet stream is fast blowing winds.  

Horse latitude is silent winds and the region has high pressure and very little precipitation.  

Hence, option B is correct

Jason launches a model rocket with a mass of 2.0 kg from his spring-powered rocket launcher with a spring constant of 800 N/m. H
Arada [10]

Answer:

121 Joules

6.16717 m

Explanation:

m = Mass of the rocket = 2 kg

k = Spring constant = 800 N/m

x = Compression of spring = 0.55 m

Here, the kinetic energy of the spring and rocket will balance each other

\frac{1}{2}mu^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\frac{800\times 0.55^2}{2}}\\\Rightarrow u=11\ m/s

The initial velocity of the rocket is 11 m/s = u.

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = g

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=6.16717\ m

The maximum height of the rocket will be 6.16717 m

Potential energy is given by

P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 9.81\times \frac{0^2-11^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow P=121\ J

The potential energy of the rocket at the maximum height will be 121 Joules

2. A liquid that is twice as dense as water is used in a barometer. With this barometer, atmospheric pressure would push the liq
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

Explanation:

We know that pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of material, g = 9.8 m/s and h = height.

Since density of liquid = 2 × density of water = 2 × 1000 kg/m = 2000 kg/m³

Since atmospheric pressure = 101500 N/m²,

The height of liquid for this pressure is h = P/ρg = 101500/(2000 × 9.8) = 5.18 m

For the same pressure, the height for water is h = P/ρg = 101500/(1000 × 9.8) = 10.36 m

Since pressure = constant,

P = ρgh ⇒ P/ρg = h since P and g are constant, h ∝ 1/ρ

ρ₁h₁ = ρ₂h₂

So, the reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

Find the current passing through each of the 3 resistors connected parallel to each other as shown in the figure (i1, i2, I3). S
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3

Explanation:

From the image, we see that the resistors are connected in parallel. This means that the voltage passing through them is the same.

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

In this case, V which is voltage is denoted by ε.

Thus;

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3

A paintball’s mass is 0.0032kg. A typical paintball strikes a target moving at 85.3 m/s.
vekshin1

Answer:

A)  If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.273kg*m/s

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.546kg*m/s

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

Hi

A) We use the formula of momentum p=mv, so we have p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s.

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}, as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.
