Answer: Gradient Wind
Explanation:
Gradient wind, is the wind that accounts for air flow along a curved trajectory. It is an extension of the concept of geostrophic wind; for example the wind assumed to move along straight and parallel isobars (lines of equal pressure). The gradient wind represents the actual wind better than the geostrophic wind, especially when both wind speed and trajectory curvature are large, because they are in hurricanes and jet streams.
D = (1/2)·at²
where d is the distance fallen, a is the acceleration (g in this problem), and t is the time
d = (1/2)·(9.8 m/s²)·(30 s)² = (1/2)·(9.8)·(900) m
d = 4410 m
The answer is b) 4410 m
Note: the mass of the raindrop is irrelevant since the acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. (Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment)
Answer:
Average speed=1.5 m/s
Frequency of pendulum=93.75Hz
Explanation:
We are given
Frequency, 
Average wavelength =
Speed of pendulum, 
Wavelength, 
We have to find the average speed and frequency of pendulum.
We know that
Speed,
Using the formula
Average speed,
Hence, the average speed =1.5m/s
Frequency, 
Using the formula
Hence, the frequency of a pendulum=93.75Hz
Answer:
Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5 km/hr
Explanation:
The question says that Nora is few meters behind Nancy and is still with respect to her that means the relative velocity between Nora and Nancy is zero
Vrel = 5 - Vnora= 0 ⇒ Vnora = 5km/hr
Pictorially we can represent the given condition as:
Nora-------few meters------Nancy ----------------- Sam
5km/hr 5km/hr →
Hence, Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5km/hr.
Answer:
The acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration acts on a body when it is performing a circular motion.
Here, a point on the bicycle is performing circular motion as the rotation of the wheel produces a circular motion.
The centripetal acceleration of a point moving with a velocity 
and at a distance of 
from the axis of rotation is given as:
Here, 
∴ 
Therefore, the acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.
