Surface winds on Earth are primarily caused by differences in Air density due to unequal heating of Earth's surface. The answer is letter A. Surface currents are driven by winds that blow in certain patterns. They are caused by the Earth’s spin and the Coriolis effect. Evaporation adds water to the atmosphere. It is the change from liquid to gas wherein liquid molecules tends to go the gas phase and increases the number of molecules.

Explanation:

Causes of Different Pressure on the Earth's Exterior. Differences in pressures across the cover of the Earth are fundamentally produced by irregular heating of the surface by the Sun.

If the Sun suddenly went dark, we would not know it until its light stopped arriving on Earth. How long would that be, in second

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: 500 s

Explanation:

Speed $v$ is defined as a relation between the distance $d$ and time $t$ :

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$v=3(10)^{8}m/s$ is the speed of light in vacuum

$d=1.5(10)^{11}m$ is the distance between the Earth and Sun

$t$ is the time it takes to the light to travel the distance $d$

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

$t=\frac{1.5(10)^{11}m}{3(10)^{8}m/s}$

Finally:

$t=500 s$

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) Determine the distance traveled during the first second. (b

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion

S = ut + 0.5at²

Here u = 0, and a = g

S = 0.5gt²

Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )

S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m

Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b) We have equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g

v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81

v = 38.36 m/s

Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c) We have S = 0.5gt²

75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 3.91 s

We need to find distance traveled last second

That is

S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m

Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 19.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horiz

igomit [66]

Answer:

The direction is due south

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The energy of the electron is $E = 19.0keV = 19.0 *10^3 eV$

The earths magnetic field is $B = 42.3 \muT = 42.3 *10^{-6} T$

Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

$\= F = q (\= v * \=B)$

On the first uploaded image is an illustration of the movement of the electron

Looking at the diagram we can see that in terms of direction the magnetic force is

$\= F =q(\=v * \= B)= -( -\r i * - \r k)$

$= -(- (\r i * \r k))$

generally i cross k = -j

so the equation above becomes

$\= F = -(-(- \r j))$

$= - \r j$

This show that the direction is towards the south
