Answer:

counterclockwise and inward

Explanation:

Extratropical cyclones or mid-latitude cyclones are the low-pressure areas, along with anticyclones of the high-pressure areas that drive weather over much of the Earth.

<u>Due to the Coriolis effect, the flow of the wind around the extratropical cyclone is counterclockwise in direction in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in direction in the southern hemisphere.</u>

<u>It forms a comma shape which drives the forces inward the center.</u>

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

W= 4.89 KJ

Explanation:

Lets take

temperature of hot water T₁ = 100⁰C

T₁ = 373 K

Temperature of cold ice T₂= 0⁰C

T₂ = 273 K

The latent heat of ice LH= 334 KJ

The heat rejected by the engine Q= m .LH

Q₂= 0.04 x 334

Q₂= 13.36 KJ

Heat gain by engine = Q₁

For Carnot engine

Q_1=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}Q_2

Q_1=\dfrac{373}{273}\times 13.36

Q₁  = 18.25 KJ

The work W= Q₁  - Q₂

W= 18.25 - 13.36 KJ

W= 4.89 KJ

How would you compare and contrast the 3 types of friction?
vlabodo [156]
Rolling friction .<span> the force that slows down the movement of a rolling object</span>
sliding friction.
Sliding friction : The opposing force that comes into play when one body is actually sliding over the surface of the other body is called sliding friction. e.g. A flat block is moving over a horizontal table.

Kinetic or dynamic friction: If the applied force is increased further and sets the body in motion, the friction opposing the motion is called kinetic friction

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is
charle [14.2K]
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.

The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.
