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.

Red laser light from a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) creates a second-order fringe at 53.2° after passing through the grating. What
Svetlanka [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red laser light, \lambda=632.8\ nm=632.8\times 10^{-9}\ m

The second order fringe is formed at an angle of, \theta=53.2^{\circ}

For diffraction grating,

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{sin\theta}, n = 2

d=\dfrac{2\times 632.8\times 10^{-9}}{sin(53.2)}

d=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ m

The wavelength λ of light that creates a first-order fringe at 22 is given by :

\lambda=d\ sin\theta

\lambda=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ sin(22)

\lambda=5.91\times 10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=591\ nm

Hence, this is the required solution.

How many electrons flow through a point in a wire in 7.00 s if there is a constant current of I = 4.35 A?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1.90×10²⁰ Electrons

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = It.................... Equation 1

Where Q = charge flowing through the wire, I = current, t = time

Given: I = 4.35 A, t = 7.00 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 4.35(7.00)

Q = 30.45 C.

But,

1 electron contains 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

therefore,

30.45 C = 30.45/1.6×10⁻¹⁹  electrons

= 1.90×10²⁰ Electrons

If a person chips off a piece of this block that has a mass of 26.3 g, what will the density be of the piece? What will the dens
solmaris [256]

The density of the two pieces of rock is determined from the ratio of their masses to the pore volume of the rock.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

The density of an object is the ratio of mass to volume of the object.

Density = mass/volume

Assuming a constant pore volume of the rock = V

Density for 26.3 g = 26.3/V

Density for 58.3 g = 58.3g/V

Thus, the density of the two pieces of rock is determined from the ratio of their masses to the pore volume of the rock.
