Explanation:

The rain gauge is normally placed in the ground, leaving the top of the funnel above ground – about 30 cm above the ground so that it can collect water into the container or jar. ... Rain gauges should be placed in an open area where there are no buildings, trees, or other obstacles to block the rain.

It is an instrument used for determining the depth of precipitation that occurs over a unit area. ... A graduated measuring glass is used for determining the amount of precipitation. For the measurement of rainfall, the rain gauze should be placed 30 cm above the ground to prevent the splashing of rainwater

Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of spring $m=100\ gm$

extension in spring $x=5\ cm$

downward velocity $v=70\ cm/s$

Position in undamped free vibration is given by

$u(t)=A\cos \omega _0t+B\sin \omega _0t$

where $\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}$

also $\frac{k}{m}=\frac{g}{L}$

$\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}=\frac{9.8}{0.05}$

$\omega _0=14$

$u(t)=A\cos(14t)+B\sin(14t)$

it is given

$u(0)=0$

$u'(0)=70\ cm/s$

substituting values we get

$A=0$

$u(t)=B\sin (14t)$

$u'(t)=14B\cos (14t)$

$70=14B$

$B=\frac{10}{2}$

$B=5$

$u(t)=5\sin (14t)$

Keeping the mass at 1.0 kg and the velocity at 10.0 m/s, record the magnitude of centripetal acceleration for each given radius

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m = 50 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m = 25 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m = 16.67 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m = 12.5 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m = 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

different values of the radius, 2.0 m 4.0 m 6.0 m 8.0 m 10.0 m

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_c_1= \frac{(10)^2}{2} \\\\a_c_1= 50 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m

$a_c_2= \frac{(10)^2}{4} \\\\a_c_2= 25 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m

$a_c_3= \frac{(10)^2}{6} \\\\a_c_3= 16.67 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m

$a_c_4= \frac{(10)^2}{8} \\\\a_c_4= 12.5 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m

$a_c_5= \frac{(10)^2}{10} \\\\a_c_5= 10 \ m/s^2$

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Option A nuclear

Explanation:

The rate of electricity production in nuclear power plant is much higher as compared to the rate of electricity generation in gas, wind and solar power plants.

Thus, in case where large amount of electricity is to be produced in a short period then one must rely on nuclear power plants.

Therefore, option A is correct
