How does the jet stream affect the movement of air masses

Physics
1 answer:
ryzh [129]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Jet streams are defined as the fast flowing meandering air currents in the atmosphere, they generally flow around ten kilometers from above the Earth's  surface and form at the boundaries of two air masses which have significant temperature difference within them, greater the temperature difference more significant and fast flowing will be the jet streams. Jet streams have a key role in determining the weather of given region as it separates warmer air mass with the colder air mass and hence move the weather system to new areas and sometimes it even stops at any particular place therefore determining or affecting the weather condition of the region. Depending upon seasons and other factors such as position of sun these jet streams also shift their patterns, for example, Weather and climatic condition of United Kingdom is largely affected by the movement of these Jet streams.

(C) 200 N

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on earth g_{E} is given by

g_{E} = G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}

where G = universal gravitational constant

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:M_{R} = mass of the earth

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:R_{E} = radius of the earth

Planet Krypton has twice the mass of earth and 3 times the radius so its acceleration due to gravity g_{K} is

g_{K} = G\dfrac{M_{K}}{R_{K}^{2}}

\:\:\:\:\:\: = G\dfrac{(2M_{E})}{(3R_{E})^{2}}

\:\:\:\:\;\:= (\dfrac{2}{9})G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}

or

g_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:g_{E}

If we multiply both sides by Superman's mass, we get his weights on both planets:

mg_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:(mg_{E})

W_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:W_{E} = (\dfrac{2}{9})(900\:N)= 200\:N

(ik it says physics but astronomy is a field of physics sooo) A recently discovered planet in a different solar system is locate
marusya05 [52]

The distance, to the nearest tenth, is 314.9 light-years.

<em>The given data is:</em>

A recently discovered planet is located 1.85*10^5 miles from Earth.

Now we want to transform this distance to light-years.

Remember that a light-year is defined as "the distance that the light would travel in one year".

using the relation:

distance = speed*time

The speed of light is:

speed = 6.706*10^8 mi/h

And in one year has 8760 hours, then we have:

time = 8760 h

replacing these in the equation we get:

distance = speed*time

distance = (6.706*10^8 mi/h)*(8760 h)  = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

Son one light-year is equivalent to 5,874,456,000,000 miles

1 light-year = 5,874,456,000,000 miles

So to transform a distance in miles to light-years, we just need to divide that distance by 5,874,456,000,000 miles:

The distance between the new planet and Earth was:

D = 1.85*10^15 mi = ( 1.85*10^15)/(5,874,456,000,000) = 314.9 light-years.

Which type of heat transfer takes place in gases by the movement of particles through a medium?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: Convention

Explanation: Convention is pretty well known for being a process that transmits heat from one place to another place with the movements of heated particles. I got this answer from my notebook during my chemistry class.

Hope this answer helps!
