What two factors determine the directions of the global winds?

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:.

Coriolis effect and Temperature differences between the equator and the polar areas.

Explanation:

Global winds are created by both the spin of the Earth (Coriolis effect) and the differences in temperature between the equator and the polar areas. These winds are often grouped together as trade winds, easterlies, and westerlies.

ExtremeBDS [4]
This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut

A vector has an x-component
9966 [12]

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant.  Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.

Two insulated wires, each 2.50 m long, are taped together to form a two-wire unit that is 2.50 m long. One wire carries a curren
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

3.46 A

Explanation:

The force (F) exerted on a wire of a particular length (L) carrying current (I) through a magnetic field (B) at an angle (θ) to the magnetic field is given as

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F = 3.13 N

B = 0.360 T

I = ?

L = 2.50 m

θ = 79°

3.13 = (0.360 × I × 2.5 × sin 79°)

0.8835 I = 3.13

I = 3.54 A

But this is the resultant current in this magnetic field.

Since the two wires are conducting current in opposite directions,

Resultant current = 7 - (current in the other wire)

Current in the other wire = 7 - 3.54 = 3.46 A
