Atypical tornado can be envisioned as a cylinder of height 640 m, with a diameter of about 230 m (note: the visible funnel cloud is usually somewhat less than the actual diameter). the rotation in the tornado is approximately a `solid body rotation', meaning that it rotates very much like a solid cylinder would, even though air is a gas. if the outer edge of the cylinder has a speed of 51 m/s, and the air has a density of 0.97 kg/m3, determine the kinetic energy contained by the tornado.

16771720740.20324 J

Explanation:

= Density = 0.97 kg/m³

V = Volume =

d = Diameter of cylinder = 230 m

r = Radius =

h = Height of the cylinder = 640 m

v = Velocity of cylinder = 51 m/s

Mass of object is given by

Moment of inertia of a cylinder

Angular speed

Kinetic energy is given by

The kinetic energy contained by the tornado is 16771720740.20324 J

a longitudinal wave moves energy that is to the direction of the wave’s movement. - true

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
