A.) The higher the altitude, the colder the climate will be
B.) Areas near the equator have warmer climates than areas for form the equator.
D.) Winds that blow inland from oceans or large lakes contain a lot of water vapor that will cause precipitation.
C.) Monsoons.
Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”
Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.
Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity. Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
where
is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
where
is the final speed of the sled
is the initial speed
is the distance covered
By rearranging the equation, we find d:
It becomes a positive Iron
The equation of motion of a pendulum is:
where it its length and is the gravitational acceleration. Notice that the mass is absent from the equation! This is quite hard to solve, but for <em>small</em> angles (), we can use:
Additionally, let us define:
We can now write:
The solution to this differential equation is:
where and are constants to be determined using the initial conditions. Notice that they will not have any influence on the period, since it is given simply by:
This justifies that the period depends only on the pendulum's length.
