True or False:A wind is a horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure.

Physics
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

  • When the air blows from high pressure to an area of low pressure over the surface of the earth it is called wind.
  • The greater the pressure difference more is the speed of the wind. The instrument used to measure the speed of the wind is called an anemometer.
  • The winds are named after the direction from which they flow.
  • Calm winds are the slowest of its kind whereas the gale-winds are the strongest winds.

Describe the difference between distance, position, and displacement
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.</em>

<em>Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.</em>

<em>Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.</em>

An object at rest does not _____ and an object in motion does not _____, unless an _____ force acts upon it
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it

Explanation:

This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of  inertia.

It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore

- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it

- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it

This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).

How long does it take for an airplane to change its velocity from 140 m/s to 180 m/s if its
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = 4ms⁻²,  Vf = 180 m/s  &  Vi = 140m/s

a = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

4 = \frac{180-140}{t}

t = 40/4

t = 10sec

To Measure Distance Use third Equation of Motion:

2aS = Vf²-Vi²

S = \frac{180*180 - 140*140}{2(4)}

S = 12800/8 = 1600m
