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.

Find the acceleration produced.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

0.67m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of toy = 1.2kg

Force applied = 0.8N

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion;

Force = mass x acceleration

Now,

Acceleration = $\frac{Force}{mass}$

Acceleration = $\frac{0.8}{1.2}$ = 0.67m/s²

The atom in the diagram has a neutral charge how many protons does it have

Olegator [25]

Explanation:

This should be of help:

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles:

Protons are the positively charged particles.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles.
Neutrons do not carry any charges.

A neutral atom is an atom that has not lost or gained any amount of electrons.

In a neutral atom;

the number of protons and electrons are the same

Usually atoms are designated this way:

ᵃₙX

where X is the symbol of the atom

a is the mass number of the atom

n is the atomic number of the atom

The mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = number of protons

Note; atomic number is the same as the number protons and the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Traveling waves are generated on a string fixed at both ends. The string has a length L, a linear mass density m, and a tension

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: d. I or II

Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.

Tension or Force ( $F_{T}$ ) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.

The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:

$|v|=\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }$

So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:

1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;

2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;

Then, ways to increase the wave speed is

I. Using the same string but increasing tension

II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.
