What causes differences in air pressure around the Earth?

1 answer:

7 0

Wind is primarily driven by differences in air pressure. These variations in air pressure are due to temperature differences caused by variations in solar energy received at the surface of the Earth.

A person travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 23.5 min at 74.5 km/h, 15.9 min at 111 km/h, 49.2 min at 38.7 k

The product of speed and time is distance. To calculate the total distance you multiple the speed in kilometers per second by the time at that speed in seconds, do this for all 3 different speeds then add them up, the 17.4 minutes eating does not affect the answer at all. to convert from minutes to seconds multiply time in minutes by 60, to convert from km/h to km/s divide km/h by 3600.

(23.5x60)x(74.5/3600) = 29.2km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(15.9x60)x(111/3600) = 29.4km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(49.2x60)x(38.7/3600) = 31.7km
=90.3km

The brackets are not necessary but i think it makes it more clear what is happening in your working.

Which descriptions best fit the labels? X: kinetic energy Y: potential energy X: potential energy Y: kinetic energy X: mechanica

W-APE. For example, work W done to accelerate a positive charge from rest is positive and results from a loss in PE, or a negative APE. There must be a minus sign in front of APE to make W positive. PE can be found at any point by taking one point as a reference and calculating the work needed to move a charge to the other point.

45. What is the wovelength of a 30. Hertz periodic

Leviafan [203]

The wavelength is 2m.

Hence, Option c) 2m is the correct answer

Given that;

Frequency; $f = 30Hz$

Speed; $v = 60m/s$

Wavelength; $\lambda =\ ?$

using the expression for the relations between wavelength, frequency and speed of wave:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

Where $\lambda$ is wavelength, f is frequency and v is speed.

We substitute our given values into the equation

$\lambda = \frac{60m/s}{30Hz}\\\\\lambda = \frac{60m/s}{30s^{-1}}\\\\\lambda = 2m$

The wavelength is 2m.

Hence, Option c) 2m is the correct answer.

Answer:

a = 1 m/s² and

Explanation:

The first two parts can be seen in attachment

We use Newton's second law on each axis

Y axis

Ty - W = 0

Ty = w

X axis

Tx = m a

With trigonometry we find the components of tension

Sin θ = Ty / T

Ty = T sin θ

Cos θ = Tx / T

Tx = T cos θ

We calculate the acceleration with kinematics

Vf = Vo + a t

a = (Vf -Vo) / t

a = (20 -10) / 10

a = 1 m/s²

We substitute in Newton's equations

T Sin θ = mg

T cos θ = ma

We divide the two equations

Tan θ = g / a

θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)

θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)

θ = 84º

We see that in the expression of the angle the mass does not appear therefore you should not change the angle
