Which of the following best describes the first step in the formation of a hurricane?
A.
Cooler water produces air masses with high pressure, causing fast-moving thunderstorms.
B.
Air masses over the ocean become colder, causing water waves to move faster.
C.
Warm ocean water evaporates and then condenses, forming a low pressure area below.
D.
A high-pressure air mass remains undisturbed over land, resulting in excessive precipitation.

The answer is C, warm ocean water evaporates and then condenses, forming a low pressure area below.

Explanation:

Ocean water evaporates caused by the heat from the sun. The evaporating water forms a cloud of warm, moist air that moves upward.

to be honest as much as i would love to answer this. i feel as if something's missing. just saying.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
