Which of the following statements about the Coriolis effect is correct?

Physics
1 answer:
labwork [276]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option D

The Coriolis effect works at right angles to the direction of airflow

Explanation:

At the equator, Coriolis effect is negligible, basically zero while it's strongest at the poles (to imply statement B is wrong). Moreover, Coriolis effect is affected by the speed of wind and it also affects the speed of wind since when the wind speed decreases, due to friction for example, the Coriolis effect is also reduces.

Name the two types of vaporization and explain the difference between them. Give one example of each. ​
kolezko [41]
Evaporation and boiling.
Evaporation refers to only the surface level turning it into a gas and the vaporization pressure of the liquid remains low.
When a substance boils it’s pressure is high and the surface evaporated along with the rest of the liquid at an equal rate. A sign of boiling is the presence of bubbles, which occur only in the process of boiling and not in evaporation.
A example of boiling is heating water up to the point until you see steam and bubbles.
A example of evaporation is the melting of an ice cube.

describe how you can use a compass needle to determine the direction of a magnetic field at a given location
Solnce55 [7]

The compass doesn’t give you the value of the net magnetic field, just the direction. So, how do you get the magnitude of a particular field from this? The trick is to assume the value of the Earth’s magnetic field and the direction of the compass. Let’s assume that at this location on the Earth, the magnetic field is pointing directly North with a horizontal component of about 2 x 10-5 T.

Now suppose that I do something to create a magnetic field in a known direction and perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field. Here is an example where I put a current carrying wire right over the compass needle. Since the compass is underneath the wire, the magnetic field due to the wire will be 90° to the Earth’s magnetic field.

Why are electrons, rather than protons, the principal charge carriers in metal wires?
Ket [755]
<span>because in any atom the electrons are in the outer orbitals while protons are within the nucleus together with the neutrons. If energy is supplied electrons can jump to higher energy levels and leave the lower orbitals. 
Especially in metals the conduction band is partially filled at room temperature with allows free flow of electrons throughout the metal thus they carry charge. 
(it requires huge amounts of energy to remove a proton from the nucleus such things happen on the surface of sun).</span><span>
