<em><u>Wind forces directly cause surface currents. </u></em>

Further Explanations:

Wind is the course of air on the Earth’s exterior in the form of immense air movement on a large scale. In accordance with weather casting, wind is mentioned as per its power and direction. A spurt of high-speed wind is named gusts while having excessive strength is called storm. This air movement is now and then referred to as “wind current”. The currents move from the regions to region, usually from areas of high pressure towards the low pressure.  

The reason for the institution of the high-pressure region to the region of low-pressure is the unevenness in the distribution of sunlight on Earth and then the making variable warmth zones. Wind on moving from one zone to another creates a frictional force on the surface of the water and forces it to moves in the same course. This results in “high tide” and “low tide”.

A helium balloon is filled on the ground where the atmospheric pressure is 768 torr. The volume of the balloon is 8.00 m3. When
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is: <u>B. 366 torr</u>

Explanation:

Given: <u>On the ground</u>- Initial Volume: V₁ = 8.00 m³, Initial Atmospheric Pressure: P₁= 768 torr;

<u>At 4200 m height</u>- Final Volume: V₂ = 16.80 m³, Final Atmospheric Pressure: P₂ = ?

Amount of gas: n, and Temperature: T = constant

<u>According to the Boyle's Law</u>, for a given amount of gas at constant temperature:         P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

⇒  P₂ = P₁ V₁ ÷ V₂

⇒  P₂ = [(768 torr) × (8.00 m³)] ÷ (16.80 m³)

⇒  P₂ = 365.71 torr ≈ 366 torr

<u>Therefore, the final air pressure at 4200 m height: P₂ = 366 torr.</u>

Why is U-235 the most common nuclear fuel instead of the more abundant U-238? State a clear topic sentence and support it with e
GREYUIT [131]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>The isotope U-235 is an important common nuclear fuel because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and use the expression 'nuclear fission'.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Uranium 238 on the other hand is not fissionable by thermal neutrons, but it can undergo fission from fast or high energy neutrons. Hence it is not fissile, but it is fissionable.</u></em>
  • In a nuclear power station fissioning of uranium atoms replaces the burning of coal or gas.  Heat created by splitting the U-235 atoms is then used to make steam which spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing electricity.
