Answer

The steps in order to explain how a tornado forms are;

1. An extreme difference in wind speed at two elevations causes the wind shear

2. The difference in wind speed causes a column of air to rotate horizontally

3. A strong updraft connects the rotating air with clouds above

4. The column of air stretches to form a tornado

Explanation

The typical steps of tornado formation follow the below steps;

• Occurrence of a large thunderstorm which happens in the cumulonimbus clouds

• There is a change in wind direction and speed at higher attitudes that makes the air to swirl horizontally

• Air rising from the ground pushes up on the swirling air and tips over it

• The swirling air funnel starts to suck up more warm air from the ground

• The funnel enlarges and stretches towards the ground

• The funnel touches the ground level to form a tornado

Answer:

1).An extreme difference in wind speed at two elevations causes wind shear.

The column of air stretches to form a tornado.

2).The difference in wind speed causes a column of air to rotate horizontally.

3).A strong updraft connects the rotating air with the clouds above.

4).The column of air stretches to form a tornado.

A spring stretches 0.2 cm per newton of applied force. An object is suspended from the spring and a deflection of 3 cm is observ
siniylev [52]

Answer:

m=1.53kg    

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:

F=k*\Delta x     (1)

F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.

The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:

1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm  

The force applied is due to the weight

F=mg

We replace in (1):

mg=k*\Delta x  

We solve the equation for m:

m=k*\Delta x/g=5*3/9.81=1.53kg

If a spring has a spring constant of 1.00 × 10^3 N/m, what is the restoring force when the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm?
never [62]

The spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched or compressed its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length then the restoring force is exerted.

spring constant is k = 1.00 * 10^3 N/m

mass is x = 20.0 cm

According to Hooke's law, To find restoring force,

    F = - kx

        = - 1.00 *10 ^3 * 20.0

     F = 20000 N/m

Thus, the spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

Why is it difficult to measure the volume of gas
MrRissso [65]
It's difficult to measure that because it's hard to make sure it is only a uniform layer of gas in whatever you're measuring it in

What is Newton's law of universal gravitation?
pshichka [43]
Newton's law of universal gravitation<span> states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. hope this helps =)</span>
