Explain how do winds cause surface currents?

Physics
1 answer:
igor_vitrenko [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. ... The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou
zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C

A two slit pattern is viewed on a screen 1.00m from the slits if the two third-order minima are 22.0 cm apart what is the width
Bingel [31]

Answer:

4.4 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the screen from the slit, D = 1 m

Distance between two third order interference minimas, x = 22 cm

Let's say, minima occurs at:

x_n = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \frac{wL}{d}

We have:

2x_2 = 2(2 + \frac{1}{2}) * \frac{w*22}{d}

Calculating further for the width of the central bright fringe, we have:

\frac{w}{d} = \frac{22}{5}

= 4.4 cm

Note: w in representswavelength

While on an ice-fishing trip, you find yourself holding a 10 kg fish but stuck in the middle of
Anna007 [38]

The forward force you exert on the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Fa = -Fb

Let's assume the fish is held in the hook, this will give you the opportunity to throw the fish forward while still holding it.

When the the fish is thrown forward, you will move backwards with an equal force based on Newton's third law. Your backward momentum towards the shore will help to maintain equal linear momentum between you and the fish.

Thus, this forward force of the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

You are investigating an elevator accident which happened in a tall building. An elevator in this building is attached to a stro
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity  of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T =  ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib
