B.) They have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast.

Explanation:

The statement that ocean surface currents do not have any effect on air temperature over land on the coast is very incorrect.

In fact, ocean surface currents shapes the coast a whole lot.

There is a constant interaction between the ocean surface current and the air masses on land.
They interact by simple convection through which heat is transferred from one point to the other.
During the day, air masses moves from the land to the ocean because air around the coast are hotter and less dense.
They are quickly replaced by colder and less denser air from the ocean.
At night the reverse is the case.

A small 12.00 g plastic ball is suspended by a string in a uniform, horizontal electric field. If the ball is in equilibrium whe

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$Q = \frac{0.068}{E}$

where E = electric field intensity

Explanation:

As we know that plastic ball is suspended by a string which makes 30 degree angle with the vertical

So here force due to electrostatic force on the charged ball is in horizontal direction along the direction of electric field

while weight of the ball is vertically downwards

so here we have

$QE = F_x$

$mg = F_y$

since string makes 30 degree angle with the vertical so we will have

$tan\theta = \frac{F_x}{F_y}$

$tan30 = \frac{QE}{mg}$

$Q = \frac{mg}{E}tan30$

$Q = \frac{0.012\times 9.81}{E} tan30$

$Q = \frac{0.068}{E}$

where E = electric field intensity

Illusion [34]

We can use the equation for the force of gravity to solve this question. F = G M1 M2 / R^2 Let R be the radius of the planet. f0 = G M1 M2 / (2R)^2 f0 = (1/4) x (G M1 M2 / R^2) We can find an expression for f2. f2 = G M1 M2 / (4R)^2 f2 = (1/16) x (G M1 M2 / R^2) We can express f2 in terms of f0: f2 = (4/16) x f0 f2 = 0.25 f0
