A polar jet is a belt of winds about 600 miles wide, flowing as fast as 400km/hr in its central "core".

The wind speeds are greatest where temperature differences between air masses are greatest, and often exceed 92 km/h . Speeds of 400 km/h  have been measured.One factor that contributes to the creation of a concentrated polar jet is the undercutting of sub-tropical air masses by the more dense polar air masses at the polar front. This causes a sharp north-south pressure (south-north potential vorticity) gradient in the horizontal plane, an effect which is most significant during double Rossby wave breaking events.

At high altitudes, lack of friction allows air to respond freely to the steep pressure gradient with low pressure at high altitude over the pole. This results in the formation of planetary wind circulations that experience a strong Coriolis deflection and thus can be considered 'quasi-geostrophic'. The polar front jet stream is closely linked to the frontogenesis process in midlatitudes, as the acceleration/deceleration of the air flow induces areas of low/high pressure respectively, which link to the formation of cyclones and anticyclones along the polar front in a relatively narrow region.

The electrical conductivity of a substance depends on the ability of the ____ in it to move. A) electrons B) neutrons C) protons
musickatia [10]

The correct answer to the question is A) Electrons.

EXPLANATION:

The electrical conductivity of a metal or any substance depends on the free electron concentration of the metals.

Free electrons are those electrons which are present in the conduction band of the metals. These electrons experience less amount of force attraction from the nucleus. Protons and neutrons do not  contribute anything to the current conduction in a metal.These sub atomic particles are bound to the nuclei of atoms.

When we maintain potential difference across the two ends of a conductor, the free electrons are drifted towards the positive terminal of the battery.

Hence, electrical conductivity of a substance is the ability of the electrons to move inside the substance.

More is the conductivity of the substance, the lesser is the resistance to the flow of electrons inside the substance, and vice versa.

Where should the fulcrum be located in this lever to get the greatest mechanical advantage?
amid [387]
C. When ever it comes to questions like these, I like to think of a seesaw with a huge amount of weight on one end. Which position would work best for that? With the effort arm being longer, you have more leverage so the load arm will move easier.

Approximate the field by treating the disk as a +6.1 C point charge at a distance of 21 cm Answer in units of N/C.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Electric field, E=1.24\times 10^{12}\ N/C

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, Q = +6.1 C

Distance, r = 21 cm = 0.21 m

We need to find the electric field. It is given by :

E=k\dfrac{Q}{r^2}

E=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{6.1}{(0.21)^2}

E=1.24\times 10^{12}\ N/C

So, the electric field at this distance is 1.24\times 10^{12}\ N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

The thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space is called
Olenka [21]

Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the thermal transfer occurs:

   1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the <u>direct contact</u>.

  2. By Convection, heat transfer <u>in fluids </u>(like water or the air, for example).  

   3. By Radiation, by the <u>electromagnetic waves</u> (they can travel through any medium and in <u>vacumm</u>)

So, in the outter space is vacuum, this means the energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. It must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium, and this is called radiation.
