How does the uneven heating of Earth create global winds?

Physics

Large global wind systems are created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles. At the poles, the cooler air sinks and moves back toward the equator.

A 1200 kg car traveling at 60 mph quickly brakes to a halt. The kinetic energy of the car is converted to thermal energy of the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

 ΔT = 59.9 ° C

Explanation:

For this exercise the brake energy is totally converted into heat

Let's calculate the vehicle energy

       K = ½ m v²

Let's reduce the units to the SI system

       v = 30 mph (1609.34 m / mile) (1h / 3600s) = 13.41 m / s

      Em = K = ½ 1200 13.41²

      K = 1.079 105 J

All this energy is transformed into heat

     Em = Q

The expression for heat is

     Q = m  c_{e} ΔT

     ΔT = Q / m c_{e}

The specific heat of iron is c_{e} = 450 J / Kg ºC

     ΔT = 1,079 105 / (4.0 450)

     ΔT = 59.9 ° C

What are the purposes of these items aboard the Voyager probes? • Low-energy particle detector: • Magnetometer boom: • High-gain
marta [7]

Explanation:

1. Low-energy particle detector: This particle detector measures the charged particles of the solar winds.

2. Magnetometer boom: This device measures magnetic fields produced by astronomical bodies.

3. High-gain antenna: A HGA has a narrow radio beam that is used to enhance the strength of signal. They simply amplify the weak signals.

4. Photopolarimeter: This is an instrument that is used to measure the strength and intensity and polarization of reflected light.

Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3
