Winds blowing toward the east are called easterlies. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
eimsori [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from.  Hence, a wind that <em>"blows towards the east"</em>, logically should <u>come from the west </u>and is called a <em>"west wind"</em>.

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the <em>Westerlies</em>, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Let's say the pitcher is angry or just has a really heavy hand while throwing this ball, and now you have to catch it, otherwise it's going to ram into your face. When you put your hands up just in time to catch this ball, this is called impulse, or commonly expressed as a reflex. Depending on what kind of ball is being thrown, such as a golf ball, baseball, basketball, beach-ball, rubber-ball, baseball, etc. ... the weight of the ball itself is going to impact how much it i going to hurt when you catch it without any hand protection. However, if you're catching, let's say a baseball, with a padded glove, it is not going to hurt as bad as catching the baseball bare handed, because the padded glove has enough padding in it to create a barrier between the skin of your hand and the palm of the glove.

Eventually, the process approaches a steady state. In that steady state, the charge of the capacitor is not changing. What is th
devlian [24]

Answer:

The current in the circuit must be zero.

Explanation:

In a RC circuit, the steady state is reached when either the capacitor is fully charged or fully discharged. In either case, there must not be any current through the circuit because if it exists, it will deliver charge to the capacitor and thus change its charge, which is not a steady state.
