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.

Calculate the wavelength and frequency at which the intensity of the radiation is a maximum for a blackbody at 298 K. You will n
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=9.72\times 10^{-6}\ m

Frequency, f=3.08\times 10^{13}\ Hz

Explanation:

We need to find the intensity of the radiation is a maximum for a black body at 298 K. It can be calculated using Wein's displacement law. It is given by :

\lambda T=2.898\times 10^{-3}\ m-K

\lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{T}

Here, T = 298 K

\lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{298}

\lambda=9.72\times 10^{-6}\ m

If f is the frequency of black body radiation. It is given by :

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}

f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{9.72\times 10^{-6}}

f=3.08\times 10^{13}\ Hz

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose y = 2x + 10. Find y if x = -2
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

y = 6

Explanation:

Given parameters:

        Given equation:

                     y = 2x + 10

And supposing; x = -2

Unknown:

y = ?

Solution:

 We are going to solve this problem by substitution;

           y = 2x + 10

  since x = -2; input this into the equation to solve for y;

           y  = 2(-2) + 10 = -4 + 10  = 6

The value of y = 6

Two point charges q and 4q are at x=0 and x=l, respectively, and free to move. a third charge is placed so that the entire three
tatuchka [14]

Explanation :

It is given that, q and 4q are placed at a distance of l.

Let x is the distance where third charge is placed so that the entire three charge system is in static equilibrium.

Equilibrium means the net force acting on the system of charges is equal to zero. Let Q is the third charge.

So, \dfrac{kqQ}{x^2}=\dfrac{k(Q)(4q)}{(l-x)^2}

On solving,

x=\dfrac{l}{3}

For magnitude :

\dfrac{kqQ}{(l/3)^2}=\dfrac{kq4q}{l^2}

using x=\dfrac{l}{3}

Q=\dfrac{4q}{9}

So, a charge of -4q/9 is at a distance of l/3 is placed. It is placed to the right of  +q.

Which factors affect the speed of sound? type and volume of medium temperature and type of medium volume and temperature of medi
rusak2 [61]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

temperature and type of medium

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and density of the medium through which it is traveling</u></em>. That is sound travels faster in liquids than in gases and faster in solids than in liquids. The greater the elasticity and the lower the density, the faster sound travels in a medium.
  • <em><u>The speed of sound also depends on temperature.</u></em> Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.
