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 CFL bulb has an efficiency of 8.9% and a power of 22 W. How much light energy does the lightbulb produce in 1 second
hjlf
The power that the light is able to utilize out of the supply is only 0.089 of the given.
                           Power utilized = (0.089)(22 W)
                                                  = 1.958 W
                                                  = 1.958 J/s
The energy required in this item is the product of the power utilized and the time. That is,
                           Energy = (1.958 J/s)(1 s) = 1.958 J
Thus, the light energy that the bulb is able to produce is approximately 1.958 J.

A point charge of 9.00 × 10−9 C is located at the origin of a coordinate system. A positive charge of 3.00 × 10−9 C is brought i
dlinn [17]

A point charge is located at the origin of a coordinate system. A positive charge is brought in from infinity to a point. The charges are at distance for given electrical potential energy is 3.34 x  10⁷ m.

<h3>What is electric potential energy?</h3>

The electric potential energy is the work done by a test charge to bring it from infinity to a particular location.

The electric potential energy is given by the relation,

V = kQ/r

where k = 9 x 10⁹ J.m/C ,Q = 3 x 10⁻⁹ C, V =8.09 × 10⁻⁷ J.

Substitute the values into the expression to get the distance between the charges.

8.09 × 10⁻⁷ =  9 x 10⁹ x  3 x 10⁻⁹ / r

r =3.34 x  10⁷ m

Thus, the distance between the charges will be 3.34 x  10⁷ m.
