How would local winds be affected if water and land absorbed and released heat at the same time

1 answer:

6 0

There would be far less wind along coastlines: During the day land tends to heat up quickly and hot air rises allowing cooler air from the water to move inland. This is often called a sea breeze.
At night, however, the land cools quickly an the warmer air over the water rises drawing cooler air out to sea. This is often called a land breeze.
(If there were no such differences there would be neither land, nor sea breezes along the coastlines.)

Which one of the following groups of chemical compounds is composed entirely of organic compounds?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Organic compounds are chemical compounds which usually contains one or more atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes nitrogen or sulphur. Carbon and hydrogen are the main element that is contained in most organic compounds.

Option A is wrong because calcium phosphate is not an organic compound, although all the other compounds in the option are organic compounds.

Option B is wrong because calcium chloride is not an organic compound

Option C is wrong also as calcium sulphate is not an organic compound

Option D is correct as all are organic compounds

How many grams of CaCl2 are needed to make 277.8g of a solution that is 31.5% (m/m) in water? Note that mass is not technically

Sveta_85 [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of calcium chloride present in given amount of solution is 87.5 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of solution = 277.8 grams

Also, 31.5 % (m/m) of calcium chloride in water. This means that 31.5 g of calcium chloride is present in 100 g of solution.

To calculate the mass of calcium chloride in the given amount of solution, we use unitary method:

in 100 g of solution, the mass of calcium chloride present is 31.5 g

So, 277.8 g of solution, the mass of calcium chloride present is $\frac{31.5}{100}\times 277.8=87.5g$

Hence, the mass of calcium chloride present in given amount of solution is 87.5 g

Air at 7S°F and14.6 though a cfm(cubic ft per minute) and the The flow rate is 48000 psia flows though a rectangular duct of Ix2

IgorLugansk [536]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Air is at $75^{o}F$ and 14.6 psia.

$\varepsilon$ = 0.00015 ft, Flow rate, (Q) = 48000 $ft^{3}/m$

(a) Formula to calculate hydraulic radius $(r_{H})$ is as follows.

$r_{H} = \frac{\text{free flow area}}{\text{wet perimeter}}$

= $\frac{2 \times 1}{2(1) + 2(2)}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$ ft

Formula for equivalent diameter is as follows.

$D_{eq} = 4 \times r_{H}$

= $4 \times \frac{1}{3} ft$

= $\frac{4}{3}$ ft

(b) Formula for velocity floe is as follows.

Q = VA

V = $\frac{Q}{A}$

= $\frac{48000}{2 \times 1}$ ft/min

= 24000 ft/min

(c) Formula to calculate Reynold's number is as follows.

$R_{e}$ = $\frac{D \times V \times \rho}{\mu}$

= $\frac{\frac{4}{3} \times 24000 \times 0.0744}{0.0443}$ (as $\rho = 0.0744 lb/ft^{3}$ and $\mu$ = 0.0443 lb/ft. hr)

= 53742.66 hr/min

As 1 hr = 10 min. So, $53742.66 hr/min \times \frac{60 min}{1 hr}$

= 3224559.6

(d) Formula to calculate pressure drop $(\Delta P)$ is as follows.

$\frac{\Delta P}{L} = \frac{4f \rho V^{2}}{2Dg_{c}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{\Delta P}{L} = \frac{4f \rho V^{2}}{2Dg_{c}}$

= $\frac{4 \times 0.00015 \times 100 \times 0.0744 \times (24000)^{2}}{2 \times \frac{4}{3} \times {4}{3}}$

= 6.238 $lb/ft^{2}$

Wich describes a characteristic of terminal moraine

stealth61 [152]

I found this....

Supraglacial Moraine

A supraglacial moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medial moraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape. Dust and dirt left by wind and rain become part of supraglacial moraines. Sometimes the supraglacial moraine is so heavy, it blocks the view of the ice river underneath.

If a glacier melts, supraglacial moraine is evenly distributed across a valley.

Ground Moraine

Ground moraines often show up as rolling, strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glacier by tiny streams, or as the result of a glacier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape. When a glacier melts, the ground moraine underneath is exposed.

Ground moraines are the most common type of moraine and can be found on every continent.

Terminal Moraine

A terminal moraine is also sometimes called an end moraine. It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.

Scientists study terminal moraines to see where the glacier flowed and how quickly it moved. Different rocks and minerals are located in specific places in the glacier’s path. If a mineral that is unique to one part of a landscape is present in a terminal moraine, geologists know the glacier must have flowed through that area.
