Answer:

Explanation:

Often times, the property of air masses is a function of where they originate from especially with respect to latitude.

An air mass is certain amount of air with some unique set of temperature and vapor component.

Air masses differs from places to places based on where they originate.
Continental air masses are usually dry and cold because there is little to no water on a land mass.
Air masses that originates from the surface of the ocean are predominantly moist.
In polar regions, the air mass is cold.
Around the tropics, they are usually warm due to insolation here.

Is this true or false ethics deals with morals and values and can be measured and tested using the scientific method.

sammy [17]

This is false. Even though the first part is true, the second isn't because morals and values are simply widely accepted opinions that most humans have, and you can't test opinions with the scientific method, only facts!

Explanation:

It is a 1-minute averaged measure of the hurricane's maximum winds. Westerlies are one of the breeze belts helping to shape and guide hurricanes. A tropical cyclone is a quickly spinning storm system with a low-pressure core, a closed small-level air vortex, gusty winds, and a thunder storm spiral structure that causes torrential rain or squalls.

Describe how the forces of gravity and friction affect the motion that occurs as you write on this page.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Friction is a force that slows down the motion of a moving object. ... Eventually, friction and gravity will work together to stop the motion of the slide. Gravity is a force that pulls two objects toward each other because of their mass. Mass is the measurement of the amount of material (matter) that makes up an object.

How fast would you have to travel on the surface of earth at the equator to keep up with the sun (that is, so that the sun would

professor190 [17]

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

$Circumference=2\pi R$

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

$v=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.
