<h2>Right answer: Sea breeze </h2>

The sea breeze is formed because during the day the surface of the land on the coast tends to warm up before and more than the surface of the sea. This difference in temperature between these two air masses means that on a sunny day the land warms up much more than the ocean causing a small area of ​​low pressure.

Then, the air rises as the land warms it and the colder air located on the surface of the sea forms a high pressure zone that makes this air mass tend to occupy the space left by the warmer air that has ascended on the coast. Therefore, the mass of air of a high pressure on the ocean always tends to move towards the zone of low pressure located on the coast.

It is important to note that the <u>sea breeze blows perpendicularly to the coast</u> and that the best breezes are formed in the spring and summer seasons because during the spring the water temperature is still cold and during the summer the sun produces high temperatures over the land in the coast.


<h2>So, <u>the greater the temperature contrast </u>between the land and the sea, <u>the greater the force of the wind generated</u>.</h2>

Rank the pressures from highest to lowest:
n200080 [17]

Answer:

P₃ > P₁ > P₂

Explanation:

To rank pressure of the given situation

a) we know

  Pressure at height h below

      P = ρ g h

density of salt water, ρ = 1029 kg/m³

      P₁ = 1029 x 10 x 0.2

      P₁ = 2058 Pa

b) density of fresh water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

      P₂ = 1000 x 10 x 0.2

      P₂ = 2000 Pa

c) density of mercury, ρ = 13593 kg/m³

      P₃ = 13593 x 10 x 0.05

      P₃ = 6796.5 Pa

Rank of Pressures from highest to lowest

        P₃ > P₁ > P₂

What is the angle o in the triangle below? (Hint: Use an inverse trigonometric<br> function.)
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

D. 66.4

Explanation:

So this problem uses SOHCAHTOA or the three trig functions.

Specifically this uses cosine, because it has an adjacent and a hypotenuse.

First you would determine what to do on the calculator, and since the problem is saying so, use the inverse cosine button. This will give you a angle measure from the decimal.

On a calculator, type in cos^-1(6/15). I used 6/15 because cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse. This will give you 66.4, which is D on the answers.

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 5100 MJ with respect to Eart
serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,

E_{initial} = E_{final}

PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} = PE_{final}+KE_{final}

Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that

KE_{final} = (PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} )-PE_{final}

KE_{final} = (5100+4200)-5700

KE_{final} = 3600MJ

Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
