Which of the following is considered a calm area close to the equator resulting in little to no wind?

<h2>Right answer: Doldrums</h2>

These are also called zones of equatorial calm and it is due a climatic phenomenon that is placed near the Earth equator, attributed to the soft winds, that are called calm winds as well; accompanied by systems of abundant rains and heat.

In this area periods of great calm occur when the winds virtually disappear completely, trapping the sailing ships for long periods (days or weeks). This is why the term <em>doldrum</em> became popular as a colloquial expression in the eighteenth century, to refer to "<em>the caprice of the wind that slows down the navigation to sail". </em>


The zone is located in the place where two trade winds meet, this means the trade winds of the northern hemisphere <u>converge</u> with those of the southern hemisphere, that is why this region is related to the <u>intertropical convergence zone</u>.

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10
IRINA_888 [86]

Complete Question:

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 25 rad/s. The wheel is run at that angular velocity for 37 s and then power is shut off. The wheel decelerates uniformly at 1.5 rads/s2 until the wheel stops. In this situation, the time interval of angular deceleration (slowing down) is closest to

Answer:

t= 16.7 sec.

Explanation:

As we are told that the wheel is accelerating uniformly, we can apply the definition of angular acceleration to its value:

γ = (ωf -ω₀) / t

If the wheel was at rest at t-= 0.00 s, the angular acceleration is given by the following equation:

γ = ωf / t = 25 rad/sec / 10 sec = 2.5 rad/sec².

When the power is shut off, as the deceleration is uniform, we can apply the same equation as above, with ωf = 0, and ω₀ = 25 rad/sec, and γ = -1.5 rad/sec, as follows:

γ= (ωf-ω₀) /Δt⇒Δt = (0-25 rad/sec) / (-1.5 rad/sec²) = 16.7 sec

The curve below shows the percentage of population of aquatic species that die in response to doses of pollutant A:
Elis [28]

Based on the trend produced by the dose - response graph, it would be best to evacuate the residents in other to prevent the increasing percentage of deaths due to the rising level of pollutant A.

  • The curve shows that the pollutant level in mg/kg of pollutant A is still increasing, hence, groundwater monitoring alone won't be the best decision to make.

  • Since the pollutant level is still increasing, then the spill level still need effective monitoring.

  • Evacuation of residents seems to be the best decision that should be taken based on the information interpreted on the graph.

Therefore, Evacuating residents to prevent rising death percentage is required as the pollutant level is yet to subside.

A bomb at rest at the origin of an xy-coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) It is given that bomb was at rest initially , so ,  its momentum before the explosion was zero.

b ) We shall apply law of conservation of momentum along x and y direction separately because no external force acts on the bomb.

If v be the velocity of the third part along a direction making angle θ

with x axis ,

x component of v = vcosθ

So momentum along x axis  after explosion of third part   = mv cosθ

= 10 v cosθ

Momentum along x of first part = -  5 x 42 m/s

momentum of second part along x direction =0

total momentum along x direction before explosion = total momentum along x direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 42 + 10 v cosθ

v cosθ = 21

Similarly

total momentum along y direction before explosion = total momentum along y direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 38 +  10 v sinθ

v sinθ= 21

squaring and and then adding the above equation

v² cos²θ +v² sin²θ = 21² +19²

v² = 441 + 361

v = 28.31 m/s

Tanθ = 21 / 19

θ = 48°
