First choice: the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the
Sun's energy
Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low. But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.
Second choice: the inability of current technology to store
captured solar
energy
No. We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts. Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.
Third choice: inconsistencies in the availability of the resource
I think this is it. If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.
Fourth choice: lack of
demand for solar energy
If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
Mass of a sample of gas doesn't change, no matter what happens to its pressure, volume, or temperature.
Answer:
Part A
Coriolis effect is used to describe how objects which are not fixed to the ground are deflected as they travel over long distances due to the rotation of the Earth relative to the 'linear' motion of the objects
Due to the Coriolis effect the wind flowing towards the Equator from high pressure belts in the subtropical regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are deflected towards the western direction because the Earth rotates on its axis towards the east
Part B
In the Northern Hemispheres, the winds are known as northeasterly trade winds and in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the southeasterly trade wind. Therefore, Coriolis effect has the same effect on the direction of the Trade Winds in the Southern Hemisphere as it does in the Northern Hemisphere
Explanation:
Hello there!
For this:
1). Convert 10km to meters!
2). Convert the 30 minutes into seconds!
3). Use the following formula to solve for speed!
speed= distance/time
Note: The units should automatically work out to m/s. :)
My goal is to make sure you understand the problem, which is why I won't be giving you the answer. It'll be more work now, but less work in the future! :)
Hope this helped!
