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.

If a microwave oven produces electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.30 ghz, what is their wavelength?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: wavelength is 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.

The frequency of the microwave is, f = 2.30 GHz.

To Find frequency use the formula:

c=fλ

Where, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave or light. f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength of light.

Rearranging, \lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Plug in the values,

\lambdam = \frac{3 \times 10^8 m/s}{2.30 GHz\frac{10^9 Hz}{1 GHz}}=0.130 m\frac{10^9 nm}{1 m} = 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.

A model plane has a mass of 0.75 kg and is flying 12 m above the ground
Grace [21]

Answer:

Option C. 210 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

Next, we shall determine the potential energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 0.75 × 9.8 × 12

PE = 88.2 J

Next, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.75 Kg

Velocity (v) = 18 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 18²

KE = ½ × 0.75 × 324

KE = 121.5 J

Finally, we shall determine the total mechanical energy of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy (PE) = 88.2 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = 121.5 J

Total Mechanical energy (ME) =?

ME = PE + KE

ME = 88.2 + 121.5

ME = 209.7 J

ME ≈ 210 J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the plane is 210 J.

Two speakers emit the same sound wave, identical frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. What other quantity would be necessary to
Komok [63]

Answer:

Phase Difference

Explanation:

When the sound waves have same wavelength, frequency and amplitude we just need the phase difference between them at a particular location to determine whether the waves are in constructive interference or destructive interference.

Interference is a phenomenon in which there is superposition of two coherent waves at a particular location in the medium of propagation.

When the waves are in constructive interference then we get a resultant wave of maximum amplitude and vice-versa in case of destructive interference.

  • For constructive interference the waves must have either no phase difference or a phase difference of nλ, where n is any natural number.
  • For destructive interference the waves must have a phase difference of n×0.5λ, where n is any odd number.
