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.

What is the equation for potential energy?
Mrrafil [7]
You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h

Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

Hope this helps!

sveticcg [70]

Given

v = 343 m/s

ac = 5g

ac = 5*9.8 m/s^2

ac = 49 m/s^2

where,

v: velocity

ac = centripetal aceleration

Procedure

We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration ac; centripetal means “toward the center” or “center seeking”.

Formula

\begin{gathered} a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\ r=\frac{v^2}{a_c} \\ r=\frac{(343m/s)^2}{49m/s^2} \\ r=2401\text{ m} \end{gathered}

The minimum radius not to exceed the centripetal acceleration is 2401 m.

initially, a bowl holds 15 m^3 of water. an object is dropped into the bowl and the new volume of the water is 25 m^3. what is t
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

The new volume of water = 25 ml

The old volume of water = 15 ml

The difference = 25 - 15 but what are the units?

Since the question asks for force, the units must start out as 10 mL

In water 1 mL has a mass of 1 gram, so the answer is 10 grams.

Grams are units of mass, not weight. You should convert this into newtons.

10 grams = 1/1000 = 0.01 kg

1 kg has a weight of 9.81 Newtons

0.01 kg has a weight 0.081 Newtons

If you have never seen a Newton before, then the answer is 10 grams

A body is electrically neutral. Does it mean that it has no charge?<br>​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

If a body is electrically neutral it means it has no net charge.

Explanation:

Because it has the same number if protons as it does electron , which are opposite charges that offset eachother.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

2960 N

Explanation:

Convert rev/min to rad/s:

150 rev/min × (2π rad/rev) × (1 min / 60 s) = 50π rad/s

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

T = m v² / r

T = m ω² r

T = (0.2 kg) (50π rad/s)² (0.6 m)

T = 2960 N
