The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

In two or more complete sentences, explain how you can prove that the number of degrees that the Moon rotates around the Earth e
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Follows are the explanation to this question:

Explanation:

In this solution, it is defined that there are two principal motions for the moon, which are its revolution as well as rotation. In such a movement called revolution, its Moon is relocating around the Earth, in which the approximate movement of the moon from around earth has an average movement of about 13.2° per day, or 92 degrees every week, that's once in 27.3 days.

What is the magnitude of the speed of a person at the equator due to rotational speed of the Earth?
notka56 [123]
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is listed as 24,901 miles.
So his speed is

                     24,901 miles per day.

Convert it to units that we have a better feel for:

                   (24,901 mi/da) x (1 da / 24 hrs)

             =    (24,901 / 24)  (miles/hour)

             =  about  1,038 miles per hour.

You'll find a huge number of people on the internet these days,
telling you that you could not be moving at that speed and not
feel it, so therefore the Earth is not spinning, and it's not a globe.

I have a lot of feelings and comments about those people, their
lines of reasoning, and their levels of education and intelligence,
so don't get me started.

I just want to guarantee you that everything you're learning about
the Earth and the solar system in school is well founded, and it's
all based on the life's work of some of the smartest people of the
past 300 years of human history.  Everything you're taught about
the Earth has good reasons behind it, whereas those other people
have nothing.

A person on Earth's equator is moving from west to east at roughly
1,038 miles per hour, relative to any point on the Earth's rotation axis.

The following voltage drops are measured across three resistors in series: 5.5 V. 8.2 V. and 12,3 V. What is the value of the so
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

26 V

Explanation:

Given:

The three resistors 5.5 V. 8.2 V. and 12,3 V. are connected in series.

Now we have to find out the source voltage  to which these resistors arc connected ?

Solution:

As we know in series the magnitude of current is uniform but the voltage divides between the resistors supplied from source voltage.So the magnitude of source voltage is, 5.5 V + 8.2 V + 12.3 V = 26 V

Hence, the value of the source voltage to which these resistors are connected is  26 V

A pair of slits, separated by 0.150 mm, is illuminated by light having a wavelength of λ = 643 nm. An interference pattern is ob
kumpel [21]

Answer:

0.006 m

Explanation:

d = separation between the slits = 0.150 mm = 0.150 x 10⁻³ m

λ = wavelength of the light = 643 nm = 643 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = distance of the screen where interference pattern is observed = 140 cm = 1.40 m

δ = Path difference

Path difference is given as

δ = Dλ/d

δ = (1.40) (643 x 10⁻⁹)/(0.150 x 10⁻³)

δ = 0.006 m
