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.

Calculate the electric field associated to an electric dipole for two charges separated 10-8 m with a dipole moment of 10-33 C m
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

18 N/C

Explanation:

Given that:

Electric field constant, k = 9*10^9 N/c

Distance, r = 10^-8 m

Dipole moment, p = 10^-33

Using the relation for electric field due to dipole :

E = [2KP / r³]

E = (2 * (9*10^9) * 10^-33) ÷ (10^-8)^3

E = (18 * 10^9 * 10^-33) ÷ 10^-24

E = [18 * 10^(9-33)] ÷ 10^-24

E = (18 * 10^-24) / 10^-24

E = 18 * 10^-24+24

E = 18 * 10^0

E = 18 N/C

A projectile was launched horizontally with a velocity of 388 m/s, 2.89 m above the ground. How long did it take the projectile
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Velocity = 388m/s

Height S = 2.89m

Required

Time

Using the equation of motion

S =ut+1/2gt²

2.89 = 388t+1/2(9.8)t²

2.89 = 388t+4.9t²

Rearrange

4.9t²+388t-2.89 =0

Factorize

t = -388±√388²-4(4.9)(2.89)/2(4.9)

t= -388±√(388²-56.644)/9.8

t = -388±387.93/9.8

t =0.073/9.8

t = 0.00744 seconds

What is the velocity of an electron that has a de Broglie wavelength approximately the length of a chemical bond? Assume this le
melomori [17]

Answer : The velocity of an electron is, 6.1\times 10^{6}m/s

Explanation :

According to de-Broglie, the expression for wavelength is,

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}

and,

p=mv

where,  

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

So, the formula will be:

\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}       .............(1)

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\lambda = wavelength  = 1.2\times 10^{-10}m

m = mass  of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}kg

v = velocity of electron = ?

Now put all the given values in formula 1, we get:

1.2\times 10^{-10}m=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{(9.11\times 10^{-31}kg)\times v}

v=6.1\times 10^{6}m/s

Thus, the velocity of an electron is, 6.1\times 10^{6}m/s
