The vertical component of the pressure gradient force (~1 mb/10m, near the surface) is much larger than the horizontal component (~1 mb/100 km).nevertheless, the horizontal wind (tens of m/s) is much stronger than the vertical wind (outside of strong convective updrafts, generally less than 0.1 m/s). canyou explain why?

Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. however, since speed is not a it does not require a(n question 6 options: a) quantity , unit b) magnitude, unit c) scalar, direction d) vector, direction

Three resistors are connected in series across a 15-v power supply. if the potential drops across resistors 1 and 2 are 4.1 volts and 3.1 volts, what is the exact potential drop (in volts) across resistor 3?

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a fixed sphere of radius r. if the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere? [hint: use conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a func e conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a function of its height at what value of this normal force does the puck leave the sphere? ] here on the puck.
