What causes winds to form?

Physics

nlexa [21]3 years ago
4 0
Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

w =  - 508.53 joules

q = - 3091.47 joules

Explanation:

Let us convert the time in hours into seconds

0.010* 3600\\= 36

Change in internal energy

\delta E = p * \delta t

where E is the internal energy in Joules

p is the power in watts

and t is the time in seconds

\delta E = - 100 * 36\\

\delta E = - 3600 Joules

Amount of work done by the system

w = - P * \delta V

where P is the pressure and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

w = - 1 * ( 5.92 -0.90)\\

w = -5.02 liter-atmospheres

Work done in Joules

- 5.02 * 101.3\\= 508.53Joules

q = \delta E - w\\

Substituting the given values we get -

q = - 3600 - (-508.53)\\q = - 3091.47

Thus

w =  - 508.53 joules

q = - 3091.47 joules

It's inertia. A rule that you see every day, for example a brick will stay in the same spot unless a force acts on it.

HELLO , PLZ HELP .
sergey [27]

Answer:

the pressure due to the water on the diver is 200,000 pascal

pressure = height × density × acceleration due to gravity

p = 20×1000×10

p=200,000 pascal

If the only forces acting on a 2.0kg mass are F1 = (3i-8j)N and F2 = (5i+3j)N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the
belka [17]

Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²
