The Coriolis effect is the result of which of these?
Anarel [89]
The coriolis effect was discovered in the 19th century by Gaspard. C. Coriolis. It simply relates to anything that moves freely on the surface of the earth including apparent curvature global winds and ocean currents.
This curvature is mainly due to the rotation of the earth around its axis.

<span>A.) The rotation of Earth on its axis</span>

When you jump straight up as high as you can, what is the order of magnitude of the maximum recoil speed that you give to the Ea
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Explanation:

If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.

Since initial momentum = final momentum,

mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.

My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?

So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂

mv₁ = MV₂

V₂ = mv₁/M =  54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

How do odd-shaped ceilings, decorative panels, draperies, and glass windows affect echo and noise?
vesna_86 [32]
I think they decrease echo and reduce noise, they do this by either absorbing vibrations or by scattering the sound so that echoes arrive at different times rather than reverberating as a standing wave. An echo is a reflection of a sound that arrives at the listener with a delay after the direct sound. The delay is usually proportional to the distance of the reflecting surface from the source and the listener.

X-rays with an energy of 400 keV undergo Compton scattering with a target. If the scattered X-rays are detected at \theta = 30^{
dedylja [7]
<h2>Answer: 37.937 keV</h2>

Explanation:

<u>Photons have momentum</u>, this was proved by he American physicist Arthur H. Compton after his experiments related to the <u>scattering of photons from electrons</u> (Compton Effect or Compton Shift). In addition, energy and momentum are conserved in the process.

In this context, the Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}.c}, being h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c=3(10)^{8}m/s the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta=30\° the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the scattered X-rays (photons) are detected at 30\°:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(30\°))   (2)

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=3.2502(10)^{-13}m   (3)

Now, the initial energy E_{o}=400keV=400(10)^{3}eV of the photon is given by:

 E_{o}=\frac{h.c}{\lambda_{o}}    (4)

From this equation (4) we can find the value of \lambda_{o}:

\lambda_{o}=\frac{h.c}{E_{o}}    (5)

\lambda_{o}=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{400(10)^{3}eV}    

\lambda_{o}=3.102(10)^{-12}m    (6)

Knowing the value of \Delta \lambda and \lambda_{o}, let's find \lambda':

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}

Then:

\lambda'=\Delta \lambda+\lambda_{o}  (7)

\lambda'=3.2502(10)^{-13}m+3.102(10)^{-12}m  

\lambda'=3.427(10)^{-12}m  (8)

Knowing the wavelength of the scattered photon \lambda'  , we can find its energy E' :

E'=\frac{h.c}{\lambda'}    (9)

E'=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.427(10)^{-12}m}    

E'=362.063keV    (10) This is the energy of the scattered photon

So, if we want to know the energy of the recoiling electron E_{e}, we have to calculate all the energy lost by the photon, which is:

E_{e}=E_{o}-E'  (11)

E_{e}=400keV-362.063keV  

Finally we obtain the energy of the recoiling electron:

E_{e}=37.937keV
