Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is the force that occurs due to the earth's rotation around its imaginary axis. Due to this force, the wind and the ocean currents get deflected towards the right side. As a result of which the path of the surface currents are also deflected towards the right. This Coriolis force allows the wind to move in the clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and the anticlockwise direction in the southern hemisphere.

The effect of Coriolis force is maximum at the poles and 0 (zero) at the equator.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

A radio station broadcasts its music with waves at a frequency of 7.34 x 10²Hz. These radio waves travel at a speed of 3.00x 10%

Lorico [155]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<u>I will use 3 x 10^8 m/s for speed or wave</u>

speed = wavelength * frequency

3 x 10^8 = w * 7.34 x 10^2 <====== are you sure this isn't KILO Hz ?

w = <u>408719. 3 meters </u>

A discharge lamp rated at 25 W (1 W = 1 J/s) emits yellow light of wavelength 580 nm. How many photons of yellow light does the

Scrat [10]

Answer:

the number of photons of yellow light does the lamp generate in 1.0 s is 7 x $10^{19}$

Explanation:

given information:

power, P = 25 W

wavelength. λ - 580 nm = 5.80 x $10^{-7}$ m

time, t = 1 s

to calculate the number of photon(N), we use the following equation

N = λPt/hc

where

λ = wavelength (m)

P = power (W)

t = time interval (s)

h = Planck's constant (6.23 x $10^{-34}$ Js)

c = light's velocity (3 x $10^{8} m/s^{2}$ )

So,

N = λPt/hc

= (5.80 x $10^{-7}$ )(25)(1)/(6.23 x $10^{-34}$ )(3 x $10^{8} m/s^{2}$ )

= 7 x $10^{19}$

Which of the following BEST represent a good plan for decreasing your BMI?

Deffense [45]

I’d say b is the better option because d is starving yourself which creates unhealthy habits, c would cause yo yo dieting or binging because you treat food as a reward which is a toxic mindset, and a same explanation. I wish there was an answer to just track what you eat, have daily exercise and enjoy in moderation, though.
