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).

An electron with a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs experiences a field of 1.4 × 105 newtons/coulomb. What is the magnitude of th
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

2.24 \times 10^{-14} Newtons

Explanation:

Magnitude of charge on the electron = q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} Coulombs

The negative sign in the question statement indicates that the charge is negative.

Magnitude of Electric Field experienced by the electron = E = 1.4 \times 10^{5} Newtons/Coulomb

Magnitude of Force on the electron = F = ?

The relation between the charge, electric field and the force on the charge because of electric field is given by:

E=\frac{F}{q}

From here we can write:

F = qE

Using the values, we get:

F = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.4 \times 10^{5}\\\\ F = 2.24 \times 10^{-14}

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force experience by the electron would be 2.24 \times 10^{-14} Newtons

Can we store electricity from lightning?
Helga [31]
No. For one thing, when it comes, it flows too fast to catch it and store it. And second, you never know WHERE to set up your equipment.

If your vehicle has a steering wheel lock, should you ever turn off the ignition while it is moving?
umka2103 [35]

It is not advisable to turn off the ignition while it is moving, so it is a no. Why? Even though the vehicle has steering wheel lock, turning off the ignition while it is moving is not advisable because it causes the vehicle to lose out of control, leading to complications and accidents.

When comparing the three atomic models provided, which statement best describes the diagram?
aliina [53]
C. Three isotopes of the same element because the number of electrons and protons remain the same but the number of neutrons in the nucleus are different. This means that the isotopes have different masses to each other but the same chemical properties.

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

F=1.26*10^{-3}N

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges(q_1,q_2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.

Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:

F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-30*10^{-9}C)(-30*10^{-9}C)}{(8*10^{-2}m)^2}\\F=1.26*10^{-3}N
