A polar jet is a belt of winds about 600 miles wide, flowing as fast as 400km/hr in its central "core".

The wind speeds are greatest where temperature differences between air masses are greatest, and often exceed 92 km/h . Speeds of 400 km/h  have been measured.One factor that contributes to the creation of a concentrated polar jet is the undercutting of sub-tropical air masses by the more dense polar air masses at the polar front. This causes a sharp north-south pressure (south-north potential vorticity) gradient in the horizontal plane, an effect which is most significant during double Rossby wave breaking events.

At high altitudes, lack of friction allows air to respond freely to the steep pressure gradient with low pressure at high altitude over the pole. This results in the formation of planetary wind circulations that experience a strong Coriolis deflection and thus can be considered 'quasi-geostrophic'. The polar front jet stream is closely linked to the frontogenesis process in midlatitudes, as the acceleration/deceleration of the air flow induces areas of low/high pressure respectively, which link to the formation of cyclones and anticyclones along the polar front in a relatively narrow region.

A certain car traveling at 97 km/h can stop in 47 m on a level road find the coefficient of friction
IrinaVladis [17]

The coefficient of friction between the road and the car's tire is determined as 0.78.

<h3>Acceleration of the car</h3>

The acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2as

0 = u² - 2as

a = u²/2s

where;

  • u is the initial velocity = 97 km/h = 26.94 m/s

a = (26.94)²/(2 x 47)

a = 7.72 m/s²

<h3>Coefficient of friction</h3>

μ = a/g

μ = (7.72)/9.8

μ = 0.78

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The material with higher modulus will stretch less than

The material with lower modulus

Explanation:

A material with a higher modulus is stiffer and has better resistance to deformation. The modulus is defined as the force per unit area required to produce a deformation or in other words the ratio of stress to strain.

E= stress/stain

Hooks law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded the extension e of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached

F=ke

Where k is the constant which gives the measure of the spring under tension
