An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
Answer:
B. counterclockwise
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the right-hand rule:
- put your thumb finger of the right hand in the same direction of the current in the wire (upward)
- wrap the other fingers around the thumb
- the direction of the other fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field lines
By doing these steps, we see that the other fingers form concentric circles in a counterclockwise direction (seen from above), so this is the direction of the magnetic field lines.
Answer: The correct answer is "metalloid".
Explanation:
Metal is the material which can conduct electricity as it contains free electrons. It is good conductor of electricity. For example, copper, silver.
Metal can be drawn into wires. This property of material is called ductile.
Metal can be beaten into sheets. This property of material is called malleable.
Non metal is the material which cannot conduct electricity as it does not contain free electrons. They are poor conductor of electricity. For example, oxygen.
Metalloid: It has properties of both metals and non metal. It is electrical conductor. For example, semiconductor- silicon and germanium. But they cannot be pulled into wires.
Therefore, a material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. It is most likely a metalloid.
Answer:
Sundial is an instrument showing the time by the shadow of a pointer cast by the sun on to a plate marked with the hours of the day.
Answer:
The force due to air resistance is 256 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the plane, m = 5 kg
applied force on the plane, Fa = 706 N
the net force on the plane, ∑F= 450 N
Let the force due to air resistance = Fr
The net force on the plane is given as;
Net force = applied force - force due to air resistance
∑F = Fa - Fr
Fr = Fa - ∑F
Fr = 706 - 450
Fr = 256 N.
Therefore, the force due to air resistance is 256 N.
