The Coriolis effect influences _____. neither wind speed nor wind direction wind speed both wind speed and wind direction wind d

Alona [7]

Answer: The correct answer is "wind direction".

Explanation:

Coriolis effect: This is an apparent deflection of moving air or water caused by the rotation of the earth.

Currents are created by wind. Their directions are determined by Coriolis effect.

Currents are created by wind. The earth is in constant motion. It describes the rotation of the earth which steers winds and the surface current. The ocean surface currents are deflected by Coriolis effect.

The direction of the wind blows from north and south towards equator.

Therefore, the Coriolis effect influences wind direction.

If 125 ml of o2 gas exerts a pressure of 1.0 atm inside a cylinder, what will the pressure be if the cylinder compressed the vol

Lelu [443]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The new pressure is 1.67 atm.

From the statement, we know that the temperature remains constant and the gas volume is changing, meaning that the new pressure will be different than the first pressure.

Since the temperature remains constant, we can calculate the new pressure using the Boyle's Law.

The Boyle's Law states that:

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

Then, the given information is:

$V_{1}=125ml=0.125L\\P_{1}=1atm\\V_{2}=75ml=0.075L$

Remember, 1 L is equal to 1000 mL.

So,

$125mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{125mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.125L\\\\75mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{75mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.075L$

So, calculating the new volume, we have:

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}\\\\1atm*0.125L=P_{2}*0.075L\\\\P_{2}=\frac{1atm*0.125L}{0.075l}=1.67atm$

Hence, the new pressure is 1.67 atm.

Have a nice day!

Which statement about surface tension is FALSE?

Georgia [21]

Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension
