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>

How much current will pass through a 12.5 ohm resistor when it is connected to ta 115 volt source of electrical potential?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

9.2 amperes

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the voltage V across a conductor of resistance R is given by $V = R I$

Here, voltage V is proportional to the current I.

For voltage, unit is volts (V)

For current, unit is amperes (A)

For resistance, unit is Ohms (Ω)

Put R = 12.5 and V = 115 in V=RI

$115=12.5I\\I=\frac{115}{12.5}\\ =9.2\,\,amperes$

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 95.0°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimet

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

"Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. The specific heat capacity of a material is a physical property."

Use this equation:

mcΔT = ( mw c + mAl cAl ) ΔT'

Rearranging the equation to find the specific heat (c) you get this:

c = (( mw c + mAl cAl ) ΔT') / (mΔT)

c = (( 0.285 (4186) + (0.15)(900)) (32 -25.1)) / ((0.125) (95 - 32))

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

When an object like a tree is illuminated by the sun, and you are looking toward the tree, light rays leave the object _________

Dima020 [189]

Objects absorb and reflect light differently depending on their physical characteristics, such as their shape or composition. Thanks to the reflection we can see the objects. Reflection can be defined as the change of direction of a wave, which, when in contact with the separation surface between two changing means, returns to the point where it originated. When the light illuminates the object, such as the tree, the rays of light will disperse in all directions allowing observation.

The correct answer is A. From every point on the surface of the tree, and in every direction

If the object represented by the FBD below has a mass of 2.5 kg, what is the acceleration of the object?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

4 m/s² down

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the net force acting on the object.

The net force acting on the object from the left and right side is zero because the same force is applied on both sides.

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the object from the up and down side. This can be obtained as follow:

Force up (Fᵤ) = 15 N

Force down (Fₔ) = 25 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fᵤ

Fₙ = 25 – 15

Fₙ = 10 N down

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (ml= 2.5 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 10 N down

Acceleration (a) =?

Fₙ = ma

10 = 2.5 × a

Divide both side by 2.5

a = 10 / 2.5

a = 4 m/s² down

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s² down
