The Coriolis effect

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]4 years ago
3 0
The coriolis effect is due to the rotation of the earth. Look up youtube videos on it, its pretty cool. If we didn't have coriolis effect then hurricane's wouldn't even form! Also it affects the trajectory of hurricanes. If you look at a path a hurricane takes it always curves quite a bit. That's also because of the coriolis affect. Imagine you're on a merry go round or on some spinning disk. You throw a ball towards the center. The ball will seem to curve away from your target because you're spinning. Now its not because the ball curved and you missed, the ball goes in a straight line but because of the spinning the target you aimed at shifted.

The stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stone is thrown in a direction 15.0 ∘ above the horizontal with a s
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Maximum horizontal distance covered by both the stones will be same because the speed at which both the stones are thrown is same.

However, stone that is thrown upward will spend more time in the air as compared to the stone that is thrown downward because of the projectile and vertical component of the velocity.

The tendency of all objects to continue with your previous motion when the net force acting on the object is zero is known as?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

The state of motion of an object is defined by its velocity the speed with a direction. Thus, inertia could be redefined as follows: Inertia: tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity - and ( in the absence of an unbalanced force ) will remain with a zero velocity.

A battery derives electric energy from _____energy?
sammy [17]
A). nuclear
No.  There were batteries long long before we learned
how to use nuclear energy.  Also, there is no danger of
exposure to radioactivity when you're working with a battery.

b). mechanical
No.  A battery has no moving parts.

c). gravitational
No.  No matter how high you take a battery in an airplane, or
how far you lower it into a mine-shaft, its characteristics don't
change.  In fact, batteries even work on things that are in orbit.

d). chemical
Bingo.

9. A force does 50 ) of work on an object at rest with a mass of 4 kg. Which of the following is the final velocity of the objec
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

5 m/s

Explanation:

Work is force times distance.

W = Fd

Force is mass times acceleration.

W = ma d

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.

W = m Δv / Δt d

Distance over time is average velocity.

W = m Δv v_avg

W = m (v − v₀) (v + v₀) / 2

W = m (v² − v₀²) / 2

Plugging in values:

50 J = 4 kg (v² − (0 m/s)²) / 2

25 m²/s² = v²

v = 5 m/s
