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.

A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?​
morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.   As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.

B. In the vicinity of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, the energy intensity of sunlight is about 1600 W/m2 . What is the approximat
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

1097.8 V/m

Explanation:

The equation that relates the intensity of an electromagnetic wave with the magnitude of the electric field is:

I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0 E^2

where

c is the speed of light

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

E is the peak magnitude of the electric field

In this problem, we know the intensity:

I = 1600 W/m^2

So we can rearrange the formula to find E:

E=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1600 W/m^2)}{(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)}}=1097.8 V/m

IF YOUR GOOD AT SCIENCE THEN PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

A: Copper is a good conductor

Explanation:

For an electrical current to flow through something, the main power source has to fight against the resistivity. Copper wire has a very low level of resistivity making it an excellent conductor. Basically, copper is super bendy and flexible, electricity.

Fun fact, sinc humans are also super bendy and essentially big sacs of all things wet and watery, we're considered to also be excellent conductors. We also have very intricate circuitry and a lot of natural electricity so basically, we were made for it, especially since the body already used little bits of electricity to function.
