Which of the following statements accurately describes the atmospheric patterns that influence local weather? A High and low pressure systems and warm and cold fronts typically move from east to west across the globe bringing temperature changes and precipitation caused by convection in the atmosphere and oceans.
B Local weather is determined by the temperature of the different layers of the atmosphere.
C As the temperature of air changes, the pressure of the air also changes. This difference causes convection of air masses, resulting in high and low pressure systems and warm and cold fronts that move across the globe.
D Air masses over warm bodies of water bring high pressure systems to coastal regions.

Distinguish between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s
