<h2>Answer: C) It's a high-pressure zone with sinking air</h2>

Explanation:

The intertropical convergence zone is the region of the terrestrial globe where the trade winds of the northern hemisphere converge with those of the southern hemisphere.  

It is characterized by being <u>a belt of low pressure</u> and inconsistent location around the equator constituted by ascending air currents, where large masses of warm and humid air converge from the north and south of the intertropical zone.  

The reason of its inconsistent location is due to the movements of the Earth with the seasons, having as a consequence the amount variation of heat energy from the sun in this region.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}

a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}

a'=4\times a

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.

Select the correct answer.
Triss [41]

Answer:

Jim's kinetic energy is 54.67 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 15 kg

Velocity, V = 2.7 m/s

We need to find the Jim's kinetic energy. We know that when the object is in motion, it has kinetic energy. This energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 15\ kg\times (2.7\ m/s)^2

E = 54.67 J

So, Jim's kinetic energy is 54.67 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

satellite is placed in an elongated elliptical (not circular) orbit around the Earth. At the point in its orbitwhere it is close
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a) v2=4147.72 m/s

b) stotal=5.53x10^6 m

Explanation:

a) the length from the center of the earth is equal to:

L1=1x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=4.18x10^6 m

the velocity is 5.14 km/s=5.14x10^3 m/s

the farthest distance is equal to:

L2=2x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=5.18x10^6 m

As the angular momentum is conserved, we have to:

I1=I2

m*L1*v1=m*L2*V2, where m is the mass of satelite

clearing v2:

v2=(L1*V1)/L2=(4.18x10^6*5.14x10^3)/5.18x10^6=4147.72 m/s

b) Using the Newton 3rd law:

vf^2=vi^2+2as

where:

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

vf=0

vi=5.14 km/s

s=?

Clearing s:

s=(vf^2-vi^2)/(2g)=((0-(5.14x10^3)^2)/(2*9.8)=1.35x10^6 m

the total distance is equal to:

stotal=s+L1=1.35x10^6+4.18x10^6=5.53x10^6 m

32. For each of the listed parts of a power plant, make a selection to indicate in what
k0ka [10]

Answer: a. boiler - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

b. combustion chamber - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

c. condenser - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

d. control rod - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

e. generator- III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

f. turbine - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

Explanation:

a. Boiler: It is used in the coal power plant to heat the water used for producing electricity. The boiler keeps the temperature of water or steam at a desired level.

b. Combustion chamber: It is used for combustion of coal and using thermal energy for electricity generation.

c. Condenser; It is used in both nuclear and coal power plants. It condense and receive from the turbine.

d. Control rod: It is used in the nuclear power plant for controlling the nuclear fission and fusion reactions of heavy metals.

e. Generator: It converts the thermal energy into electrical energy.

f. Turbine: The turbine blades move with the effect of steam or any form of energy and the energy so produce is used for generating electricity in generator.
