How would local winds be affected if water and land release heat at the same time

Physics

Local winds are driven by temperature differences in areas fairly close to each other. If water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate, there wouldn't be any temperature differences and nothing to power local winds. See the related link for further information.

We can model the motion of a bumblebee's wing as simple harmonic motion. A bee beats its wings 250 times per second, and the win
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat = 250 /s

Speed = 2.5 m/s

We need to calculate the amplitude of the wing tip's motion

Using the equation for the maximum velocity

v_{max}=2\pi f A

A=\dfrac{v}{2\pi f}

Where,

v = speed

f = frequency

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

A=\dfrac{2.5}{2\pi\times250}

A=0.00159 = 1.59\times10^{-3}\ m

A=1.6\ mm

Hence, The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.

DedPeter [7]
E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

A crate is pulled 7 m across a smooth surface. The tension in the rope pulling the crate is 40 N. If the work on the crate is 24
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

<em>61.9°</em>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the workdone is expressed as

Workdone = Fdsin theta

F is the force applied on the crate

d is the distance covered

theta is the angle that the rope makes with the horizontal

Given

F = 40N

d = 7m

Workdone = 247J

Substituting into the formula:

247 = 40(7)sin theta

247 = 280sin theta

sin theta = 247/280

sin theta = 0.88214

theta = arcsin(0.88214)

theta = 61.9°

<em>Hence the angle that the rope makes with the horizontal is 61.9°</em>

Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the ball that was moving faster caused more flour to spread out.​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

It is due to the large impulse is imparted on the flour.

Explanation:

A ball is moving faster.

When a ball is moving faster strikes to the flour, the change in momentum is large and thus the impulse imparted on the flour is large.

Impulse = change in momentum

So, as the flour experiences large impulse and large momentum so that the flour spreads out.

If the change in momentum is large so the flour spreads out is more.

Crumbling asphalt on a busy city thoroughfare has led to potholes deep enough to snap a wheel off an axle. Which of the four mai
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

C. Roadway

Explanation:

"Potholes" are considered major contributors of vehicle accidents. This is the reason why the roadway is often maintained by the government. This happens due to natural <em>wear-and-tear situations</em> or to<em> a base that has not been properly compacted. </em>

There are primarily<u> four main causes of accidents</u>: t<em>he driver, the vehicle, the roadway and the weather.</em> In the situation above, it is obviously clear that the "roadway" is the one involved in the situation. The condition or state of the road is a factor that also contributes to accidents. Such potholes should be repaired.

So, this explains the answer.
