The Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotation reference frame. This causes moving objects to the right ( with respect to the direction of travel ) in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere. The horizontal deflection is zero at the equator. It also causes the surface ocean currents in the Northern hemisphere to deflect to the right and the currents in the Southern hemisphere to deflect to the left.
Answer: the Coriolis force.

If you have 2 of the same substance and they are at the same temperature but have a different amount, what changes?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The heat energy stored within them changes

Explanation:

Heat energy is a function of the mass of a body, its specific heat capacity, and its temperature.

In this case, the bodies have the same specific heat capacity since they are made from the same material and the same temperature.

To get the quantity of heat stored in a body, we need to multiply all three parameters as shown below

Q = mC \Delta T

An increase in mass, through an increase in the amount of substance of a material present, will cause a corresponding increase in the heat energy stored within the material

A 32.2 g iron rod, initially at 21.9 C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.5 C. in an insulated container. The fin
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer : The mass of the water in two significant figures is, 3.0\times 10^1g

Explanation :

In this case the heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of iron metal = 0.45J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of iron metal = 32.3 g

m_2 = mass of water = ?

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 59.2^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of iron metal = 21.9^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 63.5^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

32.3g\times 0.45J/g^oC\times (59.2-21.9)^oC=-m_2\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (59.2-63.5)^oC

m_2=30.16g\approx 3.0\times 10^1g

Therefore, the mass of the water in two significant figures is, 3.0\times 10^1g

Why is pure silicon a poor conductor at room temperature?
Georgia [21]
Because pure silicon is a perfect semiconductor.

For room temperature, it rarely conducts, you can search for the threshold temperature, the characteristic equation is fairly complicated.
