Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is defined as the force that generates due to the rotation of the earth around its imaginary axis. Due to the effect of the Coriolis force, the wind gets deviated. The wind is deviated towards the right in the northern hemisphere, whereas the wind gets deviated towards the left in the southern hemisphere.

Due to this changing wind direction, there occurs the low pressure and the high-pressure zone between the polar and the equatorial zone.  The low pressure zones are formed at the equator and in temperate regions. Whereas, the high-pressure zones are formed at the tropics and the polar region.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

When you describe a liquid as thick, are you saying that it has a high or a low viscosity?
Umnica [9.8K]
It is commonly perceived as "thickness", or resistance to pouring. Viscosity describes a fluid's internal resistance to flow and may be thought of as a measure of fluid friction. Thus, water is "thin", having a low viscosity, while vegetable oil is "thick" having a high viscosity.

In the Earth's mantle, heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents,

A.cooler and hotter rock rise but do not sink.

B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.

Do we know which has more potential energy? object A or B? Best answer with reasoning gets brainliest.​
babymother [125]

Answer:

Object C has the most potential energy.

Between A and B, we do not know which has more potential energy.

Explanation:

We know the object with the most potential energy and this is the object at C.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body above the ground surface.

The higher a body is above ground, the more its potential energy.

 Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

So;

 Object C has the most potential energy.

Between A and B, we do not know which has more potential energy.

This is because, the height and mass of the objects are not quantified using numbers.

Potential energy is a function of mass and height and acceleration due to gravity but acceleration due gravity is a constant.

At a given location the airspeed is 20 m/s and the pressure gradient along the streamline is 100 N/m3. Estimate the airspeed at
Degger [83]

Answer:

17.97m/s

Explanation:

Density of air (ρ)air=1.23 kg/m3, and

Air speed (V) =20 m/sec, pressure gradient along the streamline, ∂p/∂x = 100N/m^3.

The equation of motion along the stream line directions:

considering the momentum balance along the streamline.

γsinθ-∂p/∂x=ρV(∂V/∂x)

Neglecting the effect of gravity , then γ=ρg=0

So, ∂p/∂x= -ρV(∂V/∂x)

∂V/∂x= - 100/(20X1.23)= -4.0650407/S

Also δV/δx=∂V/∂x

∂V/∂x=-4.0650407/S and δx=0.5 m

δV = (-4.0650407/S) *(0.5m)

δV = -2.0325203 m/S

So net air speed will be V+δV= -2.0325203+20 ≅17.96748 m/s

Approximately, V+δV=17.97m/s.
