Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.

In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.

When an alkali metal is involved in a chemical reaction with a nonmetal, what charge will its atoms most likely form? 1- 2- 2+ 1

seraphim [82]

Answer:

+1 ion

Explanation:

Alkali metals are metals that are found in Group I of the periodic table. Their electronic configuration is such that their valence shell in grounds state is always holding only one electron which they always lose when reacting with non-metals. A loss in an electron makes the atom electrically imbalanced and hence becoming a +1 ion.

The gap between electrodes in a spark plug is 0.060 cm. Producing an electric spark in a gasoline-air mixture requires an electr

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

Explanation:

Given:

Electric field $E = 3 \times 10^{6} \frac{V}{m}$

Gap between electrodes $d = 0.060 \times 10^{-2}$ m

For finding the minimum potential difference,

$\Delta V = E \times d$

$\Delta V = 3 \times 10^{6} \times 0.060 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Delta V = 1800$ V

Therefore, the magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

Question 2

yarga [219]

Answer:

24.4 m

Explanation:

first we have to calculate how long the cat will be in the air, in vertical direction this is free fall from 4m (poor cat, hope he survived) with acceleration of g=9.81 m/s^2

time = sqrt ( 2 * height / g)

time = sqrt (2 * 4 / 9.81)

time = 0,903 s

then we know his horizontal flight was 22 m long, so ve can calculate verical speed

speed = length / time

speed = 22 m / 0,903 s

speed = 24.363 m

as you are asked to give 3 significant numbers answer is 24,4 m
