<span>Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called Hadley Cells.
</span>

Hadley Cells refers to the low-latitude overturning movements that have air increasing at the equator and air dropping at roughly latitude of 30 degree and these cells are also responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude patterns of weather.

A ball of mass 0.120 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.820 m. W

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.0752 kgm/s

Explanation:

Considering when the drop was dropped from rest from a height,

mass of the ball, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = - 1.25 m

the initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh$

Substituting the values,

$V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(-1.25 m)$

$V^{2} = 24.5 m/s$

$V = \sqrt{24.5} \ m/s$

$V = 4.95 \ m/s$

V = ± 4.95 m/s

V = - 4.95 m/s

Since the ball is moving downward, the final velocity of the ball when it hits the floor is V = - 4.95 m/s

Considering when the ball rebounds from the floor,

assume the mass of the ball still remain, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = 0.820 m

the final velocity, v = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh$

Substituting the values,

$0^{2} = U^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(0.820 m)$

$0 = U^{2} - 16.072 m/s$

$U^{2} = 16.072 m/s$

$U = \sqrt{16.072} \ m/s$

U = ± 4.01 m/s

U = + 4.01 m/s

Since the ball is moving upward, the initial velocity of the ball from the bounce from the floor is U = + 4.01 m/s

From Newton's second law of motion, applied force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

$F = \frac{mv - mu}{t}$

$F.t = m(v - u)$

⇒ Impulse = Change in momentum

To calculate the impulse, the moment before the ball hits the ground will be the initial momentum while the moment the ball rebounces will be the final velocity,

∴ F.t = 0.120 kg(4.01 m/s - (-4.95 m/s) )

F.t = 0.120 kg(4.01 m/s + 4.95 m/s) )

F.t = 0.120 kg × 8.96 m/s

Impulse = 1.0752 kgm/s

The impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.0752 kgm/s

Runner A is initially 5.7 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.9 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

Explanation:

given data

distance A = 5.7 km west

velocity V1 = 8.9 km/h

distance B = 4.5 km east

velocity V2 = 7 km/h

to find out

How far runners from the flagpole, when paths cross

solution

we know A and B are 5.7 + 4.5 = 10.2 km apart

and we consider here B will run distance x km for meet

so time will be for B is

time B = distance / velocity

time B = x / 7 ...................1

and

for A distance for meet = ( 10.2 - x ) km

so time A = distance / velocity

time A = ( 10.2 - x ) / 8.9 .............2

now equating equation 1 and 2

time A = time B

x / 7 = ( 10.2 - x ) / 8.9

x = 4.490

so distance of B run for meet is 4.490 km

so distance from the flagpole when their paths cross is 4.5 - 4.490 = 0.01 km

so B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

In your own words, describe why melting ice with salt freezes cream. Compare your descriptions to your classmates and describe h

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Water normally freezes at 0°C (32°F). Salt lowers the freezing temperature. (That is, it can remain a liquid at much lower temperatures.)

When sprinkled on ice, the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water which effectively melts the ice when the salt dissolves into it. There is a limit to how low it can reduce the temperature, though. If the temperature drops below -9°C (15°F), it's too cold for the salt to dissolve into the ice.

When making ice cream, the salt lowers the temperature of the ice and water sufficiently enough to freeze the cream.
