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.

A boat takes off from the dock at 2.5m/a and speeds up at 4.2m/s/s for 6.0 s. How far has the boat traveled? Round answer to nea
natima [27]

Answer:

91 m

Explanation:

v₀ = 2.5 m/s

a = 4.2 m/s²

t = 6.0 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (2.5 m/s) (6.0 s) + ½ (4.2 m/s²) (6.0 s)²

Δx = 90.6 m

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the distance traveled is 91 m.

Currents may also be generated by density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations. These currents move water masses through the deep ocean—taking nutrients, oxygen, and heat with them.Feb 14, 2013

What is the velocity of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 meters and frequency of 0.5<br> Hz?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

recall that velocity is related to wavelength and frequency by the formula

v = fλ

where v = velocity, f = frequency and λ= wavelength

Simply substitute these into the formula:

v = fλ

v = (0.5)(20)

v = 10 m/s

A boat heads directly across a river. Its speed relative to the water is 2.6 m/s. It takes it 355 seconds to cross, but it ends
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.

Explanation:

The relative speed of the boat to the bank Vr is the resultant of speed of boat relative to the water Vb and the speed of boat as a result of the water current or wind Vw

Vr = √(Vb^2 + Vw^2) .....1

Given;

Vb = 2.6m/s

Vw = distance downstream/time = 690m/355s

Vw = 1.94m/s

From equation 1 above; substituting the values

Vr = √(2.6^2 + 1.94^2)

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.
