A) It is very dry at the equator because it is so hot.

False. It depends on what else is around.

The Sahara Desert is near the Equator.

But so is the Amazon rain forest.

B) Higher places are usually warmer because they are closer to the Sun.

False. Higher places are usually colder, because the air is thinner.

C) Land masses change the direction of currents.

True

D)The sun provides energy needed for the evaporation process. Gravity allows water droplets to fall as precipitation.

True

Which of the following energy sources is NOT a type of coal or coal-precursor?

Novay_Z [31]

Correct answer choice is :

B) Petroleum

Explanation:

Petroleum is commonly happening, yellow to the black liquid obtained in geological structures below the Earth's surface. It is usually filtered into different types of fuels. Petroleum outcomes involve transport fuels, fuel oils for heating and power generation, pavement and road oil, and feedstocks for making the compounds, plastics, and plastic elements that are in almost everything we use.

Oxygen gas is used to fill a balloon and a short time later the balloon is observed to only be half full. Explain this observati

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

It would be A.

Explanation:

When oxygen is released, that oxygen rises and the ballons temperature will go down. Heat rises so if the ballon is dropping, then the temperature is dropping.

Given two vectors A--> = 4.20 i^+ 7.20 j^ and B--> = 5.70 i^− 2.40 j^ , find the scalar product of the two vectors A-->

Arisa [49]

Answer:

$\vec{A}\times \vec{B}=-51.12\hat{k}$

$\theta=83.2^{\circ}$

Explanation:

We are given that

$\vec{A}=4.2\hat{i}+7.2\hat{j}$

$\vec{B}=5.70\hat{i}-2.40\hat{j}$

We have to find the scalar product and the angle between these two vectors

$\vec{A}\times \vec{B}=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.2&7.2&0\\5.7&-2.4&0\end{vmatrix}$

$\vec{A}\times \vec{B}=\hat{k}(-10.08-41.04)=-51.12\hatk}$ $\hat{k}$

Angle between two vectors is given by

$sin\theta=\frac{\mid a\times b\mid}{\mid a\mid \mi b\mid}$

Where $\theta$ in degrees

$\mid{\vec{A}}\mid=\sqrt{(4.2)^2+(7.2)^2}=8.3$

Using formula $\mid a\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Where x= Coefficient of unit vector i

y=Coefficient of unit vector j

$\mid{\vec{B}}\mid=\sqrt{5.7)^2+(-2.4)^2}=6.2$

$\mid{\vec{A}\times \vec{B}}\mid=\sqrt{(-51.12)^2}=51.12$

Using the formula

$sin\theta=\frac{51.12}{8.3\times 6.2}=0.993$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(0.993)=83.2$ degrees

Hence, the angle between given two vectors= $83.2^{\circ}$

If earth rotated on an axis that was not tilted, how would this affect the seasons?

VARVARA [1.3K]

If earth was not tilted on a axis, we wouldn't have any seasons. we wouldn't have seasons because the axis tilts us towards or away from the sun, and if you're tilted torwards the sun the sun you would have summer. if you're tilted away from the sun, you have winter. if there was no axis, the temperature would be the same all around the earth, so therefore we would not have seasons.

hopefully this helps
