Convection currents in Earth's atmosphere transport heat from the poles towards the equator .

Explanation:

Atmospheric convection is that the results of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature distinction, layer within the atmosphere.

The liquid or gas in hot areas is a smaller amount dense than the liquid or gas in cold areas, thus it rises into the cold areas.

The denser cold liquid or gas falls into the nice and cozy areas. during this means, convection currents that transfer heat from place to position are created.

According to the relationship between torque and angular acceleration, what happens when you have more torque (given a constant
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The angular acceleration increases.

Explanation:

The relationship between the torque and angular acceleration is :

\tau=I\times \alpha

Where

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

We can see that the torque is directly proportional to the angular acceleration. So, when we have more torque it means angular acceleration increases. Hence, the correct option is (A).

60 POINTS ANSWER CORRECTLY
ohaa [14]

Answer:

C ) 1.53

Explanation:

The critical angle of a material is given by the formula

sin c = \frac{1}{n}

where

c is the critical angle

n is the refractive index

This formula is valid if the second medium is air (which is the case of the problem).

In this problem, we know the critical angle:

c=40.8^{\circ}

Therefore we can rearrange the equation to find the refractive index:

n=\frac{1}{sin c}=\frac{1}{sin 40.8^{\circ}}=1.53

What is your angular position 75 seconds after the wheel starts turning, measured counterclockwise from the top? Express your an
AveGali [126]

Complete Question

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the wheel starts turning, you are at the very top.

What is your angular position 75 seconds after the wheel starts turning, measured counterclockwise from the top? Express your answer as an angle between 0∘ and 360∘. Express your answer in degrees.

Answer:

\phi=123.75

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=27m

Period T=32sec

Time t=75sec

Generally the equation for angular velocity is mathematically given by

\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}

\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{32}

\omega=0.196rad/s

Therefore

\theta=\omega t

\theta=0.196rad/s*75sec

\theta=843.75 \textdegree

Therefore

\phi=\theta-2(360)

\phi=123.75

A proton is moving toward a second, stationary proton. What happens as the protons get closer?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

A. Kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy, and the proton moves more slowly.

Explanation:

When a moving proton is brought close to a stationary one, the kinetic energy of the moving one is converted to electric potential  and the proton moves more slowly.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. A moving proton will possess this form of energy.

Two protons according to coulombs law will repel each other with an electrostatic force because they both have similar charges. This will increase their electric potential energy of both of them.

Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body. As it increases, the motion of a body will be slower and it will tend towards being stationary.

A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area.
babunello [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

F is the magnitude of the force perpendicular to the surface

A is the surface

Therefore, pressure is inversely proportional to the area of the surface:

p\propto \frac{1}{A}

this means that, assuming that the forces in the two situations (which have same magnitude) are both applied perpendicular to the surface, the force exerted over the smaller area will exert a greater pressure. Hence, the statement"

<em>"A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area"</em>

is true.
