Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.

Which of the following is most closely related to an activated complex?
Anon25 [30]

Among the choices above, the one that is most closely related to an activated complex is the transition state. The answer is letter D. This formation forms quickly and does not stay in a way compound is. It usually forms during the enzyme – substrate reaction.

An object carries a +15.5 µC charge. It is 0.525 m from a -7.25 µC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the ob
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.

Explanation:

Given;

first charge carried by the object, q₁ = 15.5 µC

second charge carried by the q₂ = -7.25 µC

distance between the two charges, r = 0.525 m

The force of attraction between the two charges is calculated as;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(15\times 10^{-6})(7.25\times 10^{-6})}{(0.525)^2} \\\\F = 3.55 \ N

Therefore, the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.
