What accounts for the two precipitation peaks in mbandaka?

1 answer:

7 0

The two precipitation peaks in Mbandaka during March to April and September to November is due to the intertropical convergence zone.

Intertropical convergence zone is a narrow zone located near the equator. It is where the northern and southern air masses intersect which results to low atmospheric pressure. Due to the intertropical convergence zone’s meeting of air masses, often times the air pressure are lower which will results to colder air, or even rainfall during the period of March to April, and most especially September to November in Mbandaka.

<span>Since Mbandaka is located at the cented of Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe area, which is named as a Wetland of International importance, there is really a bigger chance that this place experience above 60mm precipitation in a year, temperatures averaging from 23 – 26 degrees Celsius.</span>

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The water will flow at a speed of 3,884 m/s

Explanation:

Torricelli's equation

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

*v = liquid velocity at the exit of the hole

g = gravity acceleration

h = distance from the surface of the liquid to the center of the hole.

v = $\sqrt{2*9,8m/s^2*0,77m}$ = 3,884 m/s

Doss [256]

Answer:

The charge to mass ratio is $-1.76\times10^{11}$

Explanation:

$Mass\ of\ electron=m_e=9.11\times10^{-31} kg\\ Charge\ of\ the\ electron=q_e=-1.60\times10^{-19} C\\$

We need to find how much charge is contained in the electron per unit of mass, to do this we divide the charge in an electron and the mass of an electron:

$\frac{Charge\ of\ electron}{Mass\ of\ electron}=\frac{q_e}{m_e}\frac{C}{kg}=\frac{-1.60\times10^{-19} C}{9.11\times10^{-31} kg}=-1.76\times10^{11} \frac{C}{kg}$

A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it

makkiz [27]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of object $m=5 kg$

Distance traveled $h=10 m$

velocity acquired $v=12 m/s$

conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity

Initial Energy $=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J$

Final Energy $=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}$

where $W_{f}$ is friction work if any

$490=360+W_{f}$

$W_{f}=130 J$

Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero

An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .

Three different planet-star systems, which are far apart from one another, are shown above. The masses of the planets are much l

alex41 [277]

a) 4F0

b) Speed of planet B is the same as speed of planet A

Speed of planet C is twice the speed of planet A

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the 2 objects

r is the separation between the objects

For the system planet A - Star A, we have:

$m_1=M_p\\m_2 = M_s\\r=R$

So the force is

$F_A=G\frac{M_p M_s}{R^2}=F_0$

For the system planet B - Star B, we have:

$m_1 = 4 M_p\\m_2 = M_s\\r=R$

So the force is

$F=G\frac{4M_p M_s}{R^2}=4F_0$

So, the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on planet B by star B is 4F0.

For the system planet C - Star C, we have:

$m_1 = M_p\\m_2 = 4M_s\\r=R$

So the force is

$F=G\frac{M_p (4M_s)}{R^2}=4F_0$

So, the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on planet C by star C is 4F0.

The gravitational force on the planet orbiting around the star is equal to the centripetal force, therefore we can write:

$G\frac{mM}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

m is the mass of the planet

M is the mass of the star

v is the tangential speed

We can re-arrange the equation solving for v, and we find an expression for the speed:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

For System A,

$M=M_s\\r=R$

So the tangential speed is

$v_A=\sqrt{\frac{GM_s}{R}}$

For system B,

$M=M_s\\r=R$

So the tangential speed is

$v_B=\sqrt{\frac{GM_s}{R}}=v_A$

So, the speed of planet B is the same as planet A.

For system C,

$M=4M_s\\r=R$

So the tangential speed is

$v_C=\sqrt{\frac{G(4M_s)}{R}}=2(\sqrt{\frac{GM_s}{R}})=2v_A$

So, the speed of planet C is twice the speed of planet A.
