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.

ahrayia [7]

Work is equal to the force applied times the displacement. Since you pull the wagon at constant speed this means that there is no acceleration on the wagon as it does not change speed. F=ma. Since a=0, F=0. Therefore no work has been done in this situation

The distance from home plate to the pitchers mound is 18.5 meters. For a pitcher capable of throwing at 3.85m/s(86mi/hr), how mu
Taya2010 [7]

Given that:

Distance , s = 18.5 m

Velocity , v = 3.85 m/s

Time , t =?

Since,

Velocity = distance/time

or

Time= distance/velocity

time= 18.5/ 3.85

time= 4.8 s

So the time elapse between the release of the ball and the ball passing home plate is 4.8 seconds.

With a diameter that's 11 times larger than Earth's, _______ is the largest planet.
Svetradugi [14.3K]
With a diameter that's 11 times larger than Earth's, Jupiter is the largest planet.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. No wonder ancient astronomers named it after Jupiter, King of the Roman gods. More than 1,000 planets the size of Earth could fit inside Jupiter. A tunnel through Jupiter would be 11 times longer than a tunnel through Earth. A trip around Jupiter equator would take 6 times longer than a trip around the Earth's equator.

Why is gravitational forces equal for everyone?
Alik [6]

That equation is Newton's universal law of gravitation. ... Any two masses exert equal-and-opposite gravitational forces on each other. If we drop a ball, the Earth exerts a gravitational force on the ball, but the ball exerts a gravitational force of the same magnitude (and in the opposite direction) on the Earth.
