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.

A car of mass 1470 kg is on an icy driveway

Schach [20]

Answer:

a = 7.5 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's create a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y axis

N - W cos θ = 0

N = mg cos θ

X axis

W sin θ = m a

mg sin θ = m a

a = g sin θ

let's calculate

a = 9.8 cos 40

a = 7.5 m / s²

Consider a 2.54-cm-diameter power line for which the potential difference from the ground, 19.6 m below, to the power line is 11

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The line charge density is $1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.54 cm

Distance = 19.6 m

Potential difference = 115 kV

We need to calculate the line charge density

Using formula of potential difference

$V=EA$

$V=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}r}\times\pi r^2$

$\lambda=\dfrac{V\times2\epsilon_{0}}{r}$

Where, r = radius

V = potential difference

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{115\times10^{3}\times2\times8.8\times10^{-12}}{1.27\times10^{-2}}$

$\lambda=1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

Hence, The line charge density is $1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m$

1. On each of your equipotential maps, draw some electric field lines with arrow heads indicating the direction of the field. (H

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The angle between the electric field lines and the equipotential surface is 90 degree.

Explanation:

The equipotential surfaces are the surface on which the electric potential is same. The work done in moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface is always zero.

The electric field lines are always perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

$dV = \overrightarrow{E} . d\overrightarrow{r}\\\\$

For equipotential surface, dV = 0 so

$0 = \overrightarrow{E} . d\overrightarrow{r}\\\\$

The dot product of two non zero vectors is zero, if they are perpendicular to each other.

A small airplane flies 780 miles with an average speed of 260 miles per hour. 1.5 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 lea

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

520 miles per hour

Explanation:

Let the speed of the Boeing 747 be x miles per hour.

The small airplane covers distance of 780 miles with speed 260 miles per hour.

Also,

After 1.5 hours the Boeing 747 leave the same place and reaches at same time. Both covered distance of 780 miles.

So,

<u>Time taken by Boeing 747 + 1.5 hours = Time taken by small plane.</u>

Also,

Time = Distance/ speed

So,

780 / x + 1.5 = 780/ 260

Solving for x, we get:

<u>x = 520 miles per hour</u>
