Physics

olga2289 [7]2 years ago

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.

Schach [20]

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics.

2 cannons fire projectiles upwards with the same velocity. The
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two projectile is fired vertically upward

One has 4 times the mass of other

When Projectile is fired their trajectory is independent of mass of object. Also if they launched with same speed then both achieved same maximum height in same time and will hit the ground at the same moment.

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of net force will be 432.758 N  

Explanation:

We have given x component of acceleration a_x=760m/sec^2

And vertical component of acceleration  a_y=770m/sec^2

Mass of the ball m = 0.40 kg

So net acceleration a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}=\sqrt{760^2+770^2}=1081.896m/sec^2

Now according to second law of motion

Force = mass × acceleration

So F = 0.40×1081.896 = 432.758 N
