If the sun did not rotate, what would happen to the global winds? why?

1 answer:

7 0

The Coriolis effect influences wind direction around the world in this way: in the Northern Hemisphere it curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves them left. The exception is with low pressure systems. ... This happens simply because the Earth is a sphere and would be true if the Earth didn't rotate.

What is the force in N of an object that has a mass of 7 kilograms and an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

VMariaS [17]

Newton's 2nd law of motion: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If you want to move a 7-kg object with an acceleration of 4 m/s²,
then you will need to push it with (7 x 4) = 28 newtons of force.

Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. the click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400

hichkok12 [17]

(a) The launching velocity of the beetle is 6.4 m/s

(b) The time taken to achieve the speed for launch is 1.63 ms

(a) The beetle starts from rest and accelerates with an upward acceleration of 400 g and reaches its launching speed in a distance 0.53 cm. Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, the initial velocity of the beetle is u, its final velocity is v, the acceleration of the beetle is a, and the beetle accelerates over a distance s.

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.52×10⁻²m for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ = (0 m/s)^2+2 (400)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.52*10^-^2 m)\\ =40.768 (m/s)^2\\ v=6.385 m/s$

The launching speed of the beetle is 6.4 m/s.

(b) To determine the time t taken by the beetle for launching itself upwards is determined by using the equation of motion,

$v=u+at$

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 6.385 m/s for v.

$v=u+at\\ 6.385 m/s = (0 m/s) +400(9.8 m/s^2)t\\ t = \frac{6.385 m/s}{3920 m/s^2} = 1.63*10^-^3s=1.63 ms$

The time taken by the beetle to launch itself upwards is 1.62 ms.

(c) After the beetle launches itself upwards, it is acted upon by the earth's gravitational force, which pulls it downwards towards the earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g. Its velocity reduces and when it reaches the maximum height in its path upwards, its final velocity becomes equal to zero.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.385 m/s for u, -9.8 m/s² for g and 0 m/s for v.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (0m/s)^2=(6.385 m/s)^2+2(-9.8m/s^2)s\\ s=\frac{(6.385 m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =2.08 m$

The beetle can jump to a height of 2.1 m

What happens to energy and frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Waves can be measured using wavelength and frequency. ... The distance from one crest to the next is called a wavelength (λ). The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.

What are the units of radiation?

Ksenya-84 [330]

The radiation dose absorbed by a person is measured using the conventional unit rad or the SI unit gray. The biological risk of exposure to radiation is measured using the conventional unit rem or the SI unit sievert.

I hope this helps!

Ross, a college sophomore, has no clear preference for any of the candidates running for student body president. The students he

mylen [45]

Answer:

longing for social inclusion.

Explanation:

Ross here is longing for social inclusion.

He decides to campaign for the his fraternity brother not by choice or will but by peer pressure and social inclusion because most of the students campaigned for Henry so he supports Henry as well. Moreover, he did not be feel left out and he did not have a clear preference as well.
