Atmospheric soundings from four weather stations are presented in the following table. The stations are situated from west to east with station 1 farthest west. Station 2 is 100 km east of station l, station 3 is 100 km east of station 2, and station 4 is 100 km east of station 3. Based on the data in the table, what type of weather front is evident in the data, and between which stations is the front located?

- Three point-like charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure. Each side of the triangle has a length of 20.0 cm, and the point (A) is located half way between q1 and q2 along the side. Find the magnitude of the electric field at point (A). Let q1=-1.30 µC, q2=-4.20µC, and q3= +4.30 µC. __________________ N/Carrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forwardNo chatgpt plsarrow_forward
