Why are most of the world’s deserts located between latitudes 10°n to 30°n and 10°s to 30°s.

1 answer:

3 0

The bulk of the world's deserts are located at 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude, when the warm equatorial air begins to descend. The heavy, warm, descending air vaporises large amounts of water from the ground's surface. As a result, the environment is rather dry.

<h3>Why are the majority of the desert regions on Earth located between 20 and 30 degrees latitude?</h3>

The zones of falling air are those between 20 and 30 latitudes on the western borders of continents (high pressure and dry weather). As a result, the moisture continues to decrease as the air is compressed and warmed as it falls.

Where the scorching equatorial air starts to descend, the majority of the world's deserts are found between 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude. Large volumes of water are vaporised off the surface of the ground by the thick, warming, falling air. As a result, the climate is extremely dry.

A Smart Car, which has a mass of 1000 kg, is going 20 m/s. When it hits the barrier, it stops with a time of 0.5 seconds. What i

Answer:

The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Mass m = 1000 kg

speed v₁ = 20 m/s

speed v₂ = 0 m/s

We know that,

The change in momentum

ΔP = m (Δv)

ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)

= 1000 (0 - 20)

= 1000 (-20)

= -20000 kg m/s

Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.

A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

disa [49]

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, $\mu m g$ . For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
$ma=-\mu m g$
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
$a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
$2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2$
where $v_f=0$ is the final speed of the skier and $v_i=4.75 m/s$ is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
$S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m$

stealth61 [152]

<span>The answer is C. temperature, light level, species of bacteria. All three variables are considerations regarding the reproduction rate of the bacteria. The other three answer choices can be eliminated easily because they each contain at least one irrelevant variable. In particular, all three contain a variable that makes reference to Jack's personal characteristics. These do not have any impact on the experiment and readily stand out to disqualify the entire answer choice.</span>
