Answer:

High winds, hail, excessive precipitation, and wildfires are forms and effects of severe weather, as are thunderstorms, downbursts, tornadoes, waterspouts, tropical cyclones, and extratropical cyclones. Regional and seasonal severe weather phenomena include blizzards (snowstorms), ice storms, and duststorms.

Explanation:High winds-  wind speeds as low as 23 knots (43 km/h) may lead to power outages when tree branches fall and disrupt power lines. Once wind exceed 135 knots (250 km/h) within strong tropical cyclones and tornadoes, homes  completely collapse,  and significant damage is done to larger buildings. Total disruption occurs once wind exceeds 175 knots (324 km/h)

Tornado- Typically look like a narrow funnel reaching from the clouds to the ground. Their wind speed goes from 65 to 250 miles per hour.

"An extreme weather condition in which we face the high speed wind in combination with heavy snow."

As for any blizzard has the normal wind speed of about 40 mph, and the visibility range reduces to less then 500 ft.

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

Max and Jimmy want to jump on a trampoline. Max begins jumping in a steady pattern, making small waves in the trampoline. Jimmy
mylen [45]

Answer:

x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Explanation:

In this case we can see that the first boy Max when he enters the trampoline and jumps creates a harmonic movement, with a given frequency. When the second boy Jimmy enters the trampoline and begins to jump he also creates a harmonic movement. If the frequency of the two movements is the same and they are in phase we have a resonant process, where the amplitude of the movement increases significantly.

         Max

               x₁ = A cos (wt + Ф)

         Jimmy

              x₂ = B cos (wt + Ф)

         

total movement

             x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

 Therefore we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Lasers can be constructed that produce an extremely high intensity electromagnetic wave for a brief time—called pulsed lasers. T
alex41 [277]

Answer:

30643 J

Explanation:

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

t = Time taken = 1 ns

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

E_0 = Maximum electric field strength = 1.52\times 10^{11}\ V/m

A = Area = 1\ mm^2

Magnitude of magnetic field is given by

B_0=\dfrac{E_0}{c}\\\Rightarrow B_0=\dfrac{1.52\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow B_0=506.67\ T

Intensity is given by

I=\dfrac{cB_0^2}{2\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\times 506.67^2}{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow I=3.0643\times 10^{19}\ W/m^2

Power, intensity and time have the relation

E=IAt\\\Rightarrow E=3.0643\times 10^{19}\times 1\times 10^{-6}\times 1\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow E=30643\ J

The energy it delivers is 30643 J

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the objects ____or ____ depends on the size and direction of the force
timama [110]

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object state of rest or motion depends on the size and direction of the force.

If a body is at state of rest or motion, when an unbalanced external force acts on it, its starts moving in the direction of force and magnitude of its velocity or acceleration depends on the magnitude of force applied.
