<u>Question:</u>

Which of the following is not true of the wind?

A) It is initiated by the pressure gradient force.

B) It blows from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure.

C) The direction of flow can be affected by the rotation of the Earth.

D) Air blows from regions of hotter air to regions of colder air.

E) Winds are named based on the direction from which they blow.

<u>Answer:</u>

The given statement "Air blows from regions of hotter air to regions of colder air" is not true of the wind.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wind is the form of energy transfer in a wave when there is a change in the pressure gradient force. So, the air molecules in the atmosphere will be exhibiting a different gradient force leading to their movement as the wind. As the air molecules present in higher density at high pressure will tend to release its energy by spreading themselves leading to low pressure.

And thus, the wind will be blowing from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure. Mostly the winds are named based on the direction of their flow or blow and their direction gets affected by the rotation of the earth. So the only option that is air blows from regions of hotter air to regions of colder air is not true for wind.

A car is initially moving at 35 km/h along a straight highway. To pass another car, it speeds up to 135 km/h in 10.5 seconds at
Aleks04 [339]
Acceleration = (velocity final-velocity initial)/ time
where
velocity final = 135 km/hr x 1 hr /3600 s x 1000m/1km
                     = 37.5 m/s
velocity initial = 35 km/hr x  1hr /3600 s x 1000 m/1 km
                      =  9.72 m/s
a) acceleration = 2.646 m/s^2
b) acceleration in g units  = (2.646m/s^2)/(9.8m/s^2)
                                              = 0.27 units

A 25.0 kg projectile is fired by accelerating it with an electromagnetic rail gun on the earth's surface. the rail makes a 30.0
stich3 [128]

(a)

The work done on the projectile is 9375 joule.

The work on the projectile is calculated as

W=F×d

=1250×7.5

=9375 joule

(b)

The speed of the projectile after 7.5 m is 27.38 m/s

First we need to find out the acceleration of the projectile

F=m×a

1250=25×a

a=50 m/s^{2}

Now the velocity of the projectile after 7.5 m is calculated as

v^2=u^2+2a×s

v^2=0+2×50*7.5

v=27.38 m/s

Pavel [41]

Answer:

two objects must have accelerations of equal magnitude.

Explanation:

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where,

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.

Acceleration constraint refers to a precise relationship between the acceleration of two physical objects.

An acceleration constraint says that in some circumstances two objects must have accelerations of equal magnitude.
