The sinking of dry air results in the formation of what terrestrial biome?

1 answer:

8 0

The sinking of dry air results in the formation of deserts. Dry air would absorb water from the surrounding area. Since the air moves, it would carry this moisture away. Therefore the dry air produces little precipitation and removes any available moisture from the area producing a desert. This typically happens at about 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude. Hot moist air rises at the equator. The water condenses and falls as rain. As the air moves north and south it becomes dry and sinks at approximately 30 degrees north and south. This dry air allows deserts to be formed.

What is the acceleration of the the object during the first 4 seconds?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Velocity (m/s) over time (s) graph

We could write out our average acceleration as:

a = Δv/ Δta=Δv/Δta, equals, Δ, v, slash, Δ, t

a = (15 m/s - 0 m/s) / 0.2 seconds

a = 15 m/s / 0.2 seconds

a = 75 m/s / second

Explanation:

What this formula is telling us is that if we know the acceleration of an object, and the ... we can plug in our acceleration of 12.5 m/s2 for a, and 4 seconds for t.

A shopper pushes a grocery cart 20.0 m at constant speed on level ground, against a 35.0 n frictional force. he pushes in a dire

alexandr1967 [171]

Work is calculated as the product of Force, Distance, and angular motion. In this case, the work done by gravity is perpendicular to the motion of the cart, so θ = 90°

and W=Fdcosθ

W=35.0 N x 20.0 m x cos90

W=0 J

This means that work done perpendicular to the direction of the motion is always zero.

Calculate the change in internal energy of the following system: A balloon is cooled by removing 0.659 kJ of heat. It shrinks on

bixtya [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

-310J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system is the sum of the heat (Q) and work (W) done on or by the system. i.e

ΔE = Q + W ----------------------(i)

If heat is released by the system, Q is negative. Else it is positive.

If work is done on the system, W is positive. Else it is negative.

<em>In this case, the system is the balloon and;</em>

Q = -0.659kJ = -695J [Q is negative because heat is removed from the system(balloon)]

W = +385J [W is positive because work is done on the system (balloon)]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

ΔE = -695 + 385

ΔE = -310J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is -310J

<em>PS: The negative value indicates that the system(balloon) has lost energy to its surrounding, thereby making the process exothermic.</em>

A 0.260 m radius, 525 turn coil is rotated one-fourth of a revolution in 4.17 ms, originally having its plane perpendicular to a

Sophie [7]

Answer:

B = 0.37T

Explanation:

In order to calculate the needed magnitude of the magnetic force you use the following formula, which calculate the induced emf of the solenoid when there is a change in the magnetic flux:

$emf=-N\frac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t}=-N\frac{\Delta (BAcos\theta)}{\Delta t}$ (1)

emf: induced voltage in the solenoid = 10,000V

N: turns of the solenoid = 525

ФB: magnetic flux

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = ?

A: cross-sectional area of the solenoid = π*r^2

r: radius of the cross-sectional area = 0.260m

Δt: interval time of the change of the magnetic flux = 4.17ms = 4.17*10^-3s

First, you have the magnetic field direction perpendicular to the plane of the solenoid, after, the angle between them is 90° (quarter of a revolution)

In the equation (1) the only parameter that changes on time is the angle, then, you can solve for B from the equation (1):

$emf=-NBA\frac{cos(90\°)-cos(0\°)}{\Delta t}=\frac{NBA}{\Delta t}\\\\B=\frac{(\Delta t)(emf)}{NA}=\frac{(\Delta t)(emf)}{N(\pi r^2)}\\\\$

Finally, you replace the values of the parameters to calculate B:

$B=\frac{(4.17*10^{-3}s)(10000V)}{(525)(\pi(0.260m)^2)}=0.37T$

The strength of the magnetic field is 0.37T
