The Coriolis effect _____.drives deep ocean currents
causes Earth's high and low tides
causes surface currents to move in circular paths
is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

causes surface currents to move in circular paths  

Explanation:

Coriolis force is a pseudo force that acts on an object which is in motion in a rotating frame of reference. The Coriolis effect causes the winds to move in circular path due to rotation of Earth. In Northern hemisphere, the surface currents rotate counterclockwise and in southern hemisphere, the currents rotate clockwise.

Answer 2
Answer: Cause surface currents to move in circular paths.

Bjorn is holding a tennis ball outside a second floor window (3.5 meters from the ground) and billie jean is holding one outside a third floor window (6.25 meters from the ground) how much more GPE does billie jean's tennis ball have? (each tennis ball has a mass of 0.06 kg)

Answers

The answer is 1.01 x 10^(-11) N. I arrived to this answer through calculating the GPEs of both balls. Bjorn's ball has a GPE of 1.402 x 10^(-11) N. Billie Jean's ball has a GPE of 2.503 x 10^(-11) N. I subtracted the two and I found that Billie Jean's tennis ball has a GPE of 1.01 x 10^(-11) more than Bjorn's tennis ball.

Radiation transfers energy by moving matter. Please select the best answer from the choices provideda. True
b. False

Answers

The answer is b. False because radiation transfers energy by the propagation of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum and the travel of photons. Therefore, no matter is moved within this process.

False

Work equal to 136.0 Joules is expanded in moving 8.5*10^18 electrons between two points in an electric circuit. What potential difference does this estabilish between the two points? A ball is thrown into the air. At the highest point, the ball has zero velocity and zero acceleration. Is it true or false and why?

Answers

Voltage = joules/coulomb

1 coulomb = 6.25 x 10^18 electrons
8.5 x 10^18 electrons = 1.36 coulombs

136 joules / 1.36 coulombs = 100 volts
===================================
The statement regarding the ball is false. Any object that's not hanging from something
or resting on something is accelerating downward on account of gravity. No matter what
direction you throw the ball, or how hard, its acceleration is 9.8 meters per second^2
directed downward, from the instant it leaves your hand until it hits the ground.

Scientists use different types of microscopes to observe objects that are not visible to the naked eye. A scientist is reviewing various samples of pond water to determine what species of microorganisms live in the pond. The scientist wishes to make drawings of the structure of each microorganism and study each one's method of movement. Which of the following microscopes would be best for the scientist to use?a.

transmission electron microscope

b.

scanning electron microscope

c.

compound light microscope

d.

dissecting microscope

Answers

A compound light microscope is the correct answer. Compound light microscopes provide a clear picture of many microorganisms, such as protozoans, and are used to view their structures and movements. Often, in the field of Microbiology, compound light microscopes are used for observing living microorganisms.

Answer;

-Compound light microscope

Explanation;

-A compound microscope is a microscope that uses multiple lenses to enlarge the image of a sample. It is commonly used for viewing samples at high magnification (40 - 1000x), which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens and the objective lenses.

-Compound microscopes usually include exchangeable objective lenses with different magnifications (e.g 4x, 10x, 40x and 60x), mounted on a turret, to adjust the magnification. These microscopes also include a condenser lens and iris diaphragm, which are important for regulating how light hits the sample.
