Equatorial currents are primarily westward. This is because the dominant current in the northern hemisphere has a clockwise direction, while the southern hemisphere has a counterclockwise direction. When these two currents meet at the equator, a common westward current exists.
Then everyone would fall off the surface
I think the answer is Gamma Rays
Answer:
270 m/s²
Explanation:
Given:
α = 150 rad/s²
ω = 12.0 rad/s
r = 1.30 m
Find:
a
The acceleration will have two components: a radial component and a tangential component.
The tangential component is:
at = αr
at = (150 rad/s²)(1.30 m)
at = 195 m/s²
The radial component is:
ar = v² / r
ar = ω² r
ar = (12.0 rad/s)² (1.30 m)
ar = 187.2 m/s²
So the magnitude of the total acceleration is:
a² = at² + ar²
a² = (195 m/s²)² + (187.2 m/s²)²
a = 270 m/s²
