At which latitudes do currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts

1 answer:

5 0

Currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts at: <span>30° N and 30° S Latitudes

At approximately 30 degrees from the equator, the air that moved up from the equator started to descends. This air, however, could only come from one direction. So when the air is blocked by a mountain, the other side will not receive any water that it contains. This makes the other sides of the mountain became really dry which will eventually cause the formation of the desert.</span>

Draw an energy chain diagram to show energy transformations for this event:

larisa86 [58]

The energy chain diagram in this case is chemical energy >> energy conversion >> motion (kinetic) energy + thermal energy.

<h3>What is an energy chain diagram?</h3>

An energy chain diagram is a graphic representation indicating the conversion between different types of energies.

Kinetic energy is a type of motion (movement) energy generated by using potential (stored) energy.

Chemical energy (in this case, the fuel of the car) is a type of energy that is stored to perform work.

Which calculates the intensity of an electric field at a point where a 0.50 C charge experiences a force of 20. N?

tester [92]

Answer: $40\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charge is $q=0.5\ C$

Force experienced is $F=20\ N$

Electric field intensity is the electrostatic force per unit charge

$\therefore E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{20}{0.50}\\\\\Rightarrow E=40\ N/C$

Thus, the electric field intensity is $40\ N/C$

How do the valves do in the heart

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle.

PLEASE SHOW STEPS!

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

660 J/kg/°C

Explanation:

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water

-m₁C₁ΔT₁ = m₂C₂ΔT₂

-(0.45 kg) C₁ (21°C − 80°C) = (0.70 kg) (4200 J/kg/°C) (21°C − 15°C)

C₁ = 660 J/kg/°C
