Winds are turned to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. true or false

Physics

1 answer:

Nutka1998 [239]3 years ago

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected. In the Northern Hemisphere, wind and currents are deflected toward the right, in the Southern Hemisphere they are deflected to the left.

If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately

Art [367]

In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
= 256 KPa.

Two masses —m1 and m2— are connected by light cables to the perimeters of two cylinders of radii r1 and r2 respectively, as show

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Part a)

Mass of m2 is given as

$m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg$

Part b)

Angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2$

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

$T = 176.6 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

When m1 and m2 both connected to the cylinder then the system is at rest

so we can use torque balance here

$m_1g r_1 = m_2 g r_2$

$20 g(0.5) = m_2 g(1.5)$

$10 = 1.5 m_2$

$m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg$

Part b)

When block m_2 is removed then system becomes unstable

so force equation of mass m1

$m_1g - T = m_1 a$

also we have

$T r_1 = I\alpha$

now we have

$m_1g = \frac{I a}{r_1^2} + m_1 a$

$a = \frac{m_1g}{\frac{I}{r_1^2} + m_1}$

$a = \frac{20 (9.81)}{\frac{45}{0.5^2} + 20}$

$a = 0.981 m/s^2$

so angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{a}{r_1}$

$\alpha = \frac{0.981}{0.5}$

$\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2$

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

$T = \frac{I\alpha}{r_1}$

$T = \frac{45 (1.96)}{0.5}$

$T = 176.6 N$

What confirms that the process of seafloor spreading is occurring?

olga55 [171]

Mid ocean ridges
The mountain ranges in the middle of the oceans
Sea floor spreading
The process by which new, oceanic crust forms along a mid ocean ridge and older crust moves away from the ridge. :)
