A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere between two air masses of very different temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream.
.
.
So "Differences in temperature between two air masses" is the answer

The escape velocity at the surface of Earth is approximately 11 km/s. What is the mass, in units of ME (the mass of the Earth),
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:11 km/s

Explanation:

Given

Escape velocity at the surface of earth is 11 km/s

Escape velocity is given by

V_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Escape velocity at the surface of earth

11=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}--------------------1

If Escape velocity is three times and the radius is also the three times

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2G(3M)}{3R}}

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=V_e

i.e. V_e_2=11 km/s

During the time a compact disc (CD) accelerates from rest to a constant rotational speed of 477 rev/min, it rotates through an a
atroni [7]

Answer:

<em>126.01 rad/s^2</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

since it starts from rest, initial angular speed ω' = 0 rad/s

angular speed N = 477 rev/min

angular speed in rad/s ω = \frac{2\pi N}{60} =  \frac{2*3.142* 477}{60} = 49.95 rad/s

angular displacement ∅ = 1.5758 rev

angular displacement in rad/s = 2\pi N = 2 x 3.142 x 1.5758 = 9.9 rad

angular acceleration \alpha = ?

using the equation of angular motion

ω^2 = ω'^2 + 2\alpha∅

imputing values, we have

49.95^{2}  = 0^{2}  + (2 *\alpha*9.9 )

2495 = 19.8\alpha

\alpha = 2495/19.8 = <em>126.01 rad/s^2</em>

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and was approaching at
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) v = 11.24 m / s ,    θ = 17.76º   b) Kf / K₀ = 0.4380

Explanation:

a) This is an exercise in collisions, therefore the conservation of the moment must be used

Let's define the system as formed by the two cars, therefore the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is conserved

Recall that moment is a vector quantity so it must be kept on each axis

X axis

initial moment. Before the crash

     p₀ₓ = m₁ v₁

where v₁ = -25.00 me / s

the negative sign is because it is moving west and m₁ = 900 kg

final moment. After the crash

      p_{x f}= (m₁ + m₂) vx

       p₀ₓ =  p_{x f}

       m₁ v₁ = (m₁ + m₂) vₓ

     vₓ = m1 / (m₁ + m₂) v₁

let's calculate

       vₓ = - 900 / (900 + 1200) 25

       vₓ = - 10.7 m / s

Axis y

initial moment

      p_{oy}= m₂ v₂

where v₂ = - 6.00 m / s

the sign indicates that it is moving to the South

final moment

     p_{fy}= (m₁ + m₂) v_{y}

     p_{oy} = p_{fy}

     m₂ v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v_{y}

     v_{y} = m₂ / (m₁ + m₂) v₂

we calculate

    v_{y} = 1200 / (900+ 1200) 6

    v_{y}  = - 3,428 m / s

for the velocity module we use the Pythagorean theorem

      v = √ (vₓ² + v_{y}²)

      v = RA (10.7²2 + 3,428²2)

      v = 11.24 m / s

now let's use trigonometry to encode the angle measured in the west clockwise (negative of the x axis)

      tan θ = v_{y} / Vₓ

      θ = tan-1 v_{y} / vₓ)

      θ = tan -1 (3,428 / 10.7)

       θ = 17.76º

This angle is from the west to the south, that is, in the third quadrant.

b) To search for loss of the kinetic flow, calculate the kinetic enegy and then look for its relationship

      Kf = 1/2 (m1 + m2) v2

      K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁² + ½ m₂ v₂²

      Kf = ½ (900 + 1200) 11.24 2

      Kf = 1.3265 105 J

      K₀ = ½ 900 25²  + ½ 1200 6²

      K₀ = 2,8125 10⁵ + 2,16 10₅4

        K₀ = 3.0285 105J

the wasted energy is

        Kf / K₀ = 1.3265 105 / 3.0285 105

        Kf / K₀ = 0.4380

         

this is the fraction of kinetic energy that is conserved, transforming heat and transforming potential energy
