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.

The sign associated with the average velocity of the object is negative.

<h3>Average velocity of the object</h3>

The average velocity of the object is calculated as follows;

Average velocity = (v1 + v2)/2

v1 = -20/30 = -0.667 m/s

v2 = 20/50 = 0.4 m/s

Average velocity = (-0.667 + 0.4)/2

Average velocity  = -0.134 m/s

Thus, the sign associated with the average velocity of the object is negative.

Ashkon throws a basketball across the court to his teammate. The ball has 57 J of potential energy and 61 J of kinetic energy. W
Gwar [14]
The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.

Are There some sounds for which we are all deaf
lana66690 [7]

Answer: Infrasound is the span of low-frequency sounds below 20 Hz that fall below the hearing range of humans. While these sounds escape our ears, scientific instruments can detect them—and tell us some interesting things about the planet.
