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.

The positions of four objects as a function of time are shown
KengaRu [80]

There is no movement in line C and the greatest velocity occurs at line D. The answers are:

1. 0.5 m/s

2. 0.25 m/s

3. 14m and -2m

4. -1 m/s

<h3>What is Position - time Graph ?</h3>

Position time graph is the graph of distance or displacement against time. The slope of the graph is velocity.

The given positions of four objects as a function of time are shown

on the graph to the right.

1.) The velocity of object A will be the slope m of the line A.

Slope m = Δx / Δt

m = (4 - 0) / (8 - 0)

m = 4 / 8

m = 0.5 m/s

Velocity at A = 0.5 m/s

2.) The average velocity of object B will be the slope m of the line B.

Slope m = Δx / Δt

m = (6 - 4) / (8 - 0)

m = 2 / 8

m = 0.25 m/s

The average velocity of object B is 0.25s

3.) The object moved a total distance during the first eight seconds will be 4m for A, 2m for B, and 8m for D

Total distance = 4 + 2 + 8 = 14m

It’s net displacement during the same time will be 2. That is,

Displacement = 8 - 6 = -2m

4.) The greatest speed occurred at line D. The velocity of the object moving at the greatest speed will be the slope of the line D

V = -Δx / Δt

V = -8/8

V = -1 m/s

Therefore, there is no movement in line C and the greatest velocity occurs at line D.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

4363.3231 feets²

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance, r = 50 ft

θ = 200°

The arc length of area covered :

Arc length = θ/360° * πr²

Arc length = (200/360) * 50 ft ^2 * π

Arc length = 0.5555555 * 2500 * π

Arc length = 4363.3231 feets²
