If fifty pounds were sitting on the ground and on top of a flag pole base would it offer as much resistance to the wind as fifty suspended slightly above the ground and strapped to the pole?
Ther generaly is more wind higher in the air and less wind near the ground.
What do the air in a tornado do when the funnel touch the ground?
Air near the ground spirals inward and upward in and near the tornado.
How does rain turn to hail in 100 degrees?
It doesn't. The temp near the ground may be 100, but high in the sky (in the clouds) its well below freezing.
When a ball is thrown straight up by how much does the speed decrease each second neglect air resistance?
Ignoring Air Resistance, on earth near the earths surface gravity applies a force on all bodies. The acceleration the ball will experience is -9.8 meters per second per second (i.e. it will slow the ball down. When the ball then falls to the ground from the apogee of the throw it will continue to accelerate at 9.8 meters per second per second per second and will hit the ground at the same speed it left the ground originally. So each second it will slow by 9.8 meters per second. 9.8 meters per second, (or 32.2 feet per second), if the experiment is carried out on or near the surface of the earth. 1.6 meters (5.25 feet) per second, if it's on or near the surface of the moon. 3.52 meters (11.5 feet) per second, if it's on or near the surface of Mars.
Ignoring damping effect what will be the velocity of a free falling body near earth's surface?
Any 'damping effect' is the result of air resistance. In the absence of air, the velocity of a free falling body near the earth's surface is always directed downward, and is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second greater, at any instant, than it was one second earlier.
What is the difference between on and off state resistance?
On Circuit Resistance = Close to the total load Resistance. Off Circuit Resistance = Near Infinitive High Resistance.
If there are no air resistance what would happen to the hailstones?
If there are no air resistance the hailstones would hit the earth at velocities near 350 m/s and melt before they hit the ground.
Who fought on high ground near Boston?
This will be Bunker(Breed)Hill.
The speed of sound near the ground is greater than it is at higher altitudes the sound tends to be bent?
upwards
Why does voltmeter have high internal resistance?
No, ammeters have a low internal resistance. This is so that when they are put in series with a circuit, they change the circuit's operating characteristics as little as possible.Contrast this with voltmeters, which do have a high internal resistance, and which are intended to be placed in parallel with the circuit they are measuring.Use the link below to the related question on why ammeters have a low internal resistance and read through that information to see why things are the way they are.
A cloud that is near or touching the ground?
Fog is near or on the ground.
If fifty pounds were sitting on the ground and on top of a flag pole base would it offer as much resistance to the wind as fifty suspended slightly above the ground and strapped to the pole?
Ther generaly is more wind higher in the air and less wind near the ground.
Do high clouds generally produce hail and tornadoes.?
Not high ones - but tall ones. That is they stretch from near ground level up towards the stratosphere.
Where is the Cannizaro House located?
The Cannizaro House is located in Greater London, UK. It is a Hotel near Wimbledon that is located near Cannizaro Park and known for its high class accommodations.
Where is the change in length of daytime greater near equator or near the poles?
The closer you are to the poles, the greater the change.
How do you check the headlamp resistance in th earth connection?
The resistance (ohms) between the headlamp "earth" connection and the vehicle battery NEGATIVE connection should be near zero. Although zero ohms is technically not possible in anything short of a superconductor, the resistance should not be much more than 1. If the resistance is much more than that, you should clean rust/corrosion from connectors and use some kind of rust inhibiting/conductive material to improve the conductive properties of the circuit. The above is true, but not easy. If in doubt of any ground connection in a car, just run another ground wire from the item to somewhere you know is a good ground (car frame, ground buss, negative battery cable, etc)
Fog is a cloud high in the sky true or false?
This is false: fog consists of clouds whose base is near or on the surface of the ground or water.
