prohojiy [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

(A) The Coriolis force is the force that acts on an object due to the rotation of the earth. The basic rule of this force is that it causes the deflection of wind when it blows from one place to another. The magnitude of this Coriolis force directly depends upon the latitude at which the object is located. This force is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.

(B)- Correct answer is Option (2) i.e  this force can indicate the wind direction in the northern and southern hemisphere,

When the air in a particular area becomes warm due to heating, then it becomes less dense and rises up. This area forms a low pressure zone. This low pressure zone is filled with the air from the high pressure zone. The wind that blows from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure does not move in a straight line. Due to the Coriolis force, this wind gets deviate and reaches the low pressure zone.

<u>Thus, this force indicates the direction from which a wind blows in both the southern and the northern hemisphere. In the southern direction it moves in anticlockwise direction, whereas in the northern hemisphere it moves in clockwise direction.</u>

The height of a right circular cone is multiplied by 3, but its radius remains fixed. By what factor will the volume of the cone
Orlov [11]

Answer:

A. 3

Explanation:

A cone is a three dimensional shape with a flat base and curved surface. A right circular cone is a cone where the axis of the cone is the line meeting the vertex to the midpoint of the circular base.

The volume of a right circular cone = πr²h/3; where r is the radius of the cone and h is the height of the cone.

Let us assume the cone has a height of h, and radius of r. Hence:

Volume (V₁) =  πr²h/3

If the radius remains fixed and the height is multiplied by 3. Hence:

V₂ = πr²(3h)/3 = πr²h = 3V₁

The volume would be multiplied by 3

Advantage and Disadvantage of<br>Conventional and non-conventional source<br>of energy​
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Conventional sources of energy is also called non-renewable sources of energy while non conventional sources of energy is called renewable sources of energy.

An example of conventional energy is coal, crude oil and natural gas. The advantage is the availability and affordability. The disadvantage is the level of air pollutants such as CO2 and CO it releases to the atmosphere which is harmful as it poses a risk of air borne illnesses.

An example of non conventional energy is the sun, wind , water etc. The advantage is that it reduces the risk of air pollution and keeps the environment clean as no toxic substances are being released into the atmosphere when used. The disadvantage is they are expensive and aren’t available all year round.
