What role do currents play in transporting heat? How does water temperature affect land nearby?

When warm currents move over cool land surface, they dissipate heat due to the temperature gradient . They hence warm up the land they blow over. If a cold current blows over warm land, the land loses heat to the current. This is how currents distribute heat across the earth.


When the current blow from water to land, the current will be warm or cold depending on the water temperatures. Therefore, they will warm up or cool the adjacent land mass.

If an electronin an electron beam experiences a downward force of 2.0x10^-14N while traveling in a magnetic field of 8.3x10^-2T
Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force is downward I.e negative y-axis

F = -2 × 10^-14 •j N

Magnetic field is westward, +x direction

B = 8.3 × 10^-2 •i T

Charge of an electron

q = 1.6 × 10^-19C

Velocity and it direction?

Force in a magnetic field is given as

F = q(V×B)

Angle between V and B is 270, check attachment

The cross product of velocity and magnetic field

F =qVB•Sin270

2 × 10^-14 = 1.6 × 10^-19 × V × 8.3 × 10^-2

Then,

v = 2 × 10^-14 / (1.6 × 10^-19 × 8.3 × 10^-2)

v = 1.51 × 10^6 m/s

Direction of the force

Let x be the direction of v

-F•j = v•x × B•i

From cross product

We know that

i×j = k, j×i = -k

j×k =i, k×j = -i

k×i = j, i×k = -j OR -k×i = -j

Comparing -k×i = -j to given problem

We notice that

-F•j = q ( -V•k × B×i)

So, the direction of V is negative z- direction

V = -1.51 × 10^6 •k m/s

How does energy from an earthquake reach each surface? Describe the three types of seismic waves.
WITCHER [35]
Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.

Which parts of an electric generator are connected?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the armature and commutator          

Explanation:

An electric generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. It is based on the principle that when a conducting coil rotates in the magnetic field, an electric current is generated.

The rotating part is known as Armature. Commutator is cylindrical in shape and connected to armature which rotates with it. It also connects the armature to the external circuit by brushes.

Slip rings are connected to armature coil to maintain an electrical contact with the brushes.
