Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

If Earth did not rotate then the side of Earth which is nearer to the Sun will be the warmest. As a result, there will be presence of more warm air.

This air will then rise and move towards the poles, that is, colder regions which are far away from Sun.

Thus, we can conclude that if earth did not rotate then air would rise and move toward the poles at the equator.

Heat rises, and it is warmer at the equator, so I think warm air would rise at the equator and move towards the cooler poles.

What is 8200 N/m2 expressed in kilopascals?

natima [27]

The S.I. unit for the measure of the pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal corresponds to
$1 Pa = 1 N/m^2$

We can convert the number given by the problem into Pascal:
$8200 N/m^2 = 8200 Pa$

And since $1 Pa = 10^{-3}kPa$ , we have
$8200 Pa = 8200 \cdot 10^{-3}kPa =8.2 kPa$

A comet with a mass of 7.85 × 1011 kg is moving with a velocity of 25,000 m/s. calculate its kinetic energy.

Nadusha1986 [10]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
K is the kinetic energy
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity.

The comet in our problem has a mass of $m=7.85 \cdot 10^{11} kg$ and a velocity of $v=25000 m/s$ , so its kinetic energy is:
$K= \frac{1}{2}(7.85 \cdot 10^{11} kg)(25000 m/s)^2=2.45 \cdot 10^{20}J$
