Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

100% of the energy entering earth's atmosphere comes from the sun. ~50% of the incoming energy is absorbed by the earth's surface i.e. the land and oceans.

A student decides to spend spring break by driving 50 miles due east, then 50 miles 30 degrees south of east, then 50 miles 30 d
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. 600 ml, 12

Explanation:

The movement described in the question exhibits that of a polygon. Exhibiting a constant distance and angle with only varying direction until the starting point is reached.

The sum of exterior angles of a polygon = 360 degrees.

Exterior angle of a polygon = (360 ÷ number of sides)

Therefore,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ exterior angle

Exterior angle = 30 degrees

Hence,

Number of sides = 360 ÷ 30 = 12 sides

Since distance traveled of 50 miles is the same for each displacement ;

Total displacement = distance traveled * number of sides

Total displacement = 50 * 12 = 600 miles.

Match the term and the definition
sineoko [7]

Answer:

1. When a cold air mass and a warm air mass meet but are at a standstill, the boundary is called stationary front.

2. If warm or more humid air presses forward and colder or drier air draws back, the boundary is called warm front.

3. If colder or drier air presses forward and warmer or more humid air draws back, the boundary is called cold front.

4. Sometimes a warm air mass can get caught between two cold fronts, which can force the warm air up into a wedge shape is called occluded front.

How is the current controlled for a given voltage
Leni [432]

Answer:

The current can be controlled by modifying the resistance value

Explanation:

The current can be controlled by modifying the resistance value, usually a variable resistance device called potentiometer is used. This can be observed mathematically using the ohm law which is defined as voltage equal to the current product by resistance.

V = I*R

where:

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

V = voltage [volt]

We can see that if we reduce the resistance the current will be increased

I = v / R

And if we amplify the resistance (R) the current will be diminished
