Answer:

- Grand Marais

- Two Harbors

- Duluth

Explanation:

The places that would would get snowfall because of the lake effect are Grand Marais, Two Harbors, and Duluth. The reason for this is that these three places are located right on the shores of the Lake Superior. This lake is one of the biggest lakes in the world. It has enormous amount of water in it, having big impact on the regional climate because of that. The water from this lake creates a lot of humidity in the air, and there's a lot of evaporation as well, both causing the formation of clouds, and when it is cold enough, instead of precipitation, the region gets large amounts of snowfall.

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/

Elena-2011 [213]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

$KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0$

$\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2$

So by solving above equation we will have

$v_f = 84.3 m/s$

now in order to find the momentum we can use

$P = mv$

$P = 1.25 \times 84.3$

$P = 105.4 kg m/s$

An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc

Afina-wow [57]

The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity.

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.

You are standing at the midpoint between two speakers, a distance D away from each. The speakers are playing the exact same soun

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of sound waves = velocity / frequency

= 340 / 170

λ = 2 m.

When the position of man is exactly at the meddle point between the speakers , sound waves from the speakers reaching man are in same phases ( path difference is zero. ) so intensity of sound is maximum .

Now , the man starts moving towards one of the speakers , his distance from one speaker becomes closer than the other creating path difference for the sound waves reaching his ears.

If he walks a distance of .5 m towards one speaker , path difference created

= .5 x 2 = 1 m

So , path difference = λ /2 ,

there will be destructive interference so minimum sound will be heard there.

When he walks a distance of 1 m , path difference created = 2m

path difference = λ

so there is constructive interference and maximum sound will be heard there.

Again we he walks a distance of 1.5 m , path difference created = 3 m

path difference = 3 λ /2

So there will be destructive interference so minimum sound will be heard there.

In this way we see that man starts from a point of maximum sound intensity , reaches a point of minimum sound intensity , then reaches a point of maximum sound intensity . At last he reaches a position of minimum sound intensity.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

fcosθ + Fbcosθ =Wtanθ

Explanation:

Consider the diagram shown in attachment

fx= fcosθ (fx: component of friction force in x-direction ; f: frictional force)

Fbx= Fbcosθ ( Fbx: component of braking force in x-direction ; Fb: braking force)

Wx= Wtanθ (Wx: component of weight in x-direction ; W: Weight of semi)

sum of x-direction forces = 0
