What is air masses? And 5 effect of it​

Physics
1 answer:
zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of miles, and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character.When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.

Air masses can affect the weather because of different air masses that are different in temperature, density, and moisture. When two different air masses meet a front forms. This is one way air masses effect our weather.

A uniform linear charge of 2.0 nC/m is distributed along the x axis from x = 0 to x = 3 m. What is the x component of the electr
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The x component of the electric field at y=2m is E_{x}=17.97\frac{N}{C}

Explanation:

For a linear charge, using <u>Gauss Law</u>, we get that the <em>Electric field (radial) has the following form</em>

E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}r}

<em>where λ is the charge for longitud unit given in the problem, r is replaced by the y coordinate, and there are two known more data</em>. So

E=\frac{2*10x^{-9}}{2*2\pi\epsilon_{0}}=17.97\frac{N}{C}

is the x component of the Electric field at y=2m on the y axis, which is what we wanted to know.

State ohm’s law Q.34.7
defon

Ohm's law states that: V=RI

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that in a conductor, the potential difference across the conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. Mathematically,

V \propto I

where

V is the potential difference

I is the current

The constant of proportionality is called resistance (R), and it gives a measure of "how much the conductor opposes" to the flow of current. Therefore Ohm's law can be rewritten as

V=RI

where R is the resistance. By rewriting the equation as

I=\frac{V}{R}

we see that the larger the resistance, the lower the current in the conductor.

Why is common salt called compound?​
anygoal [31]
I think this answer Yes, salt is the crystal we use to season our food. But in chemistry, salt is a term used to describe a compound made by joining a positively charged acid with a negatively charged base. Table salt is the compound sodium chloride. It's composed of a positively charged sodium atom and a negatively charged chloride atom.
