The Coriolis effect

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 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 cosmic catastrophic event occurred that caused the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its plane of orbit to increase from 23
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations

Explanation:

Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.

It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.

Consider the numbers 23.68 and 4.12. The sum of these numbers has ____ significant figures, and the product of these numbers has
damaskus [11]

Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures

Explanation:

After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and

The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8

S_A_V [24]

1) Average speed

2) Displacement

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}

where

d is the distance covered

\Delta t is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval \Delta t.

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta x is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

\Delta t is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.
