Warm air rising at the equator and cold air sinking at the poles is one reason for which type of movement of air?
inysia [295]

Answer:

Convection cells

Explanation:

As the cold air moves away from poles, it begins to warm up. This warm air now becomes lighter and the pressure drops significantly at 60° N and 60° south latitude. The air from poles further gushes into these belts because the low pressure created. Thus, convection cells are formed because this rise and fall of air in circular pattern.

Hence, the name given is convection cells.

Are tires designed to increase rolling friction and decrease sliding friction?
saul85 [17]
Yes. Tires are designed to help a car come to a rolling stop, rather than a sliding stop, therefore producing more rolling friction than sliding friction.

A string is attached to the rear-view mirror of a car. A ball is hanging at the other end of the string. The car is driving arou
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

<em>c. tension, gravity, and the centripetal force</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The ball experiences a variety of force as explained below.

Gravity force acts on the body due to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The gravity force on every object on earth due to its mass keeps all object on the surface of the earth.

Although the car moves around in circle, centripetal towards the center of the radius of turn exists on the ball. This centripetal force is due to the constantly changing direction of the circular motion, resulting in a force away from the center. The centripetal force keeps the ball from swinging off away from the center of turn.

Tension force on the string holds the ball against falling towards the earth under its own weight, and also from swinging away from the center of turn of the car. Tension force holds the ball relatively fixed in its vertical position in the car.
