What is the name for the clockwise deflection of air in the cells near the poles?

1 answer:

4 0

The clockwise deflection of air in the cells near the poles is called polar circulation (It also called an air circulation or an atmospheric circulation). It is a system of winds by which the necessary transport of heat from tropical to polar latitudes is accomplished. The circulation cell closest to the equator is called the Hadley cell (between 30 and 40 degrees north and south). Ferell cells are the middle cells (60 and 70 degrees north and south).Polar cells are the smallest and weakest cells (from between 60 and 70 degrees north and south, to the poles).

A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k

rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

   KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

   =    (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)

   =    2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

   Energy is never created or destroyed.
   If it seems that some energy disappeared,
   it actually had to go somewhere.
   And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
   it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for a time \Delta t, starting from rest, giving thepuck speed v

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1. $t_2 = 2t_1$

2. $t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

1. According to Newton's law of motion, the puck motion is affected by the acceleration, which is generated by the push force F.

In Newton's 2nd law: F = ma

where m is the mass of the object and a is the resulted acceleration. So in the 2nd experiment, if we double the mass, a would be reduced by half.

$a_1 = 2a_2$

Since the puck start from rest, in the 1st experiment, to achieve speed of v it would take t time

$t = v / a_1$

Now that acceleration is halved:

$t = \frac{v}{2a_2}$

$\frac{v}{a_2} = 2t$

You would need to push for twice amount of time $t_2 = 2t_1$

2. The distance traveled by the puck is as the following equation:

$d = at^2$

So if the acceleration is halved while maintaining the same d:

$\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{a_1t_1^2/2}{a_2t_2^2/2}$

As $d_1 = d_2$ , then $d_1/d_2 = 1$ . Also $a_1 = 2a_2$

$1 = \frac{2a_2t_1^2}{a_2t_2^2}$

$t_2^2 = 2t_1^2$

$t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}\approx 1.14t_1$

So t increased by 1.14
