________ occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.

Physics
1 answer:
Semenov [28]3 years ago
6 0
The answer would be:
Precipitation sometimes occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
This happens when the air is forced to move from low elevation to high elevation due to rising terrain. This causes the air to cool adiabatically. This increases the relative humidity and causes clouds to form, under certain conditions it can also create precipitation.

tia_tia [17]

True

Explanation:

It is correct to say that the salinity of the oceans has been relatively constant throughout geologic time because salt is removed at the same rate it has been added.

Salinity is the amount of dissolved salt found in the ocean. It is the degree of saltiness of the ocean.

  • The rate at which salt has been added into the ocean over the years through geologic time has been very constant.
  • Most salts in the ocean comes from land.
  • Also the rate it has been removed is fairly constant.
  • The salinity of ocean has once been used to date the age of the earth.

An ice rink is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide. The four corners of the rink are rounded to a radius of 24 feet. What is the surf
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

16,506 ft²

Explanation:

There are different ways you can divide the area using rectangles and circles.  One way is to find the area of the entire width and length, then subtract the empty areas in the corners.

If we take the empty areas and put them together, we find their area is the area of a square minus the area of a circle.

A = (2r)² − πr²

A = 4r² − πr²

A = (4 − π) r²

So the area of the rink is:

A = WL − (4 − π) r²

A = (85)(200) − (4 − π) (24)²

A ≈ 16,506 ft²

A 3.30-kg block starts from rest at the top of a 30.0° incline and slides a distance of 2.10 m down the incline in 1.60 s.(a) fi
AnnZ [28]
<span>Mass of the block m = 3.3kg Angle of the slide = 30 degrees Distance the block slides s = 2.10 m Time taken to slide t = 1.6 s Initially in rest condition so initial velocity u = 0. We have an equation for distance s = (u x t) + (1/2) x (a t^2) s = (0 x t) + (1/2) x (a x (1.6) ^2) => 2.10 = (1/2) x (a x2.56) 2.56a = 4.20 => a = 1.64 So the magnitude of the Acceleration a = 1.64 m/s^2</span>

In doing a load of clothes, a clothes dryer uses 16 A of current at 240 V for 45 min. A personal computer, in contrast, uses 2.7
jasenka [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current of clothes dryer, I = 16 A

Voltage, V = 240 V

Time, t = 45 min = 2700 s

Current of personal computer, I' = 2.7 A

Voltage, V' = 120 C

Energy used by clothes dryer is given by :

E=I^2Rt\\\\E=IVt\\\\E=16\times 240\times 2700\\E=1.03\times 10^7\ J

Let t' is the time for this computer to "surf" the internet. Again using formula of energy used as :

E=I'V't'\\\\t'=\dfrac{E}{I'V'}\\\\t'=\dfrac{1.03\times 10^7}{2.7\times 120}\\\\t'=31790.12\ s\\\\t'=8.83\ h

So, for 8.83 hours you could use this computer to "surf" the internet.
