What is the Coriolis Force?

Physics
1 answer:
lys-0071 [83]3 years ago
7 0

It's a virtual force ... one that seems to be there but isn't really there.

When something tries to fly or flow straight, through a rotating neighborhood, it ends up flying or flowing in a curved path, AS IF there were a force acting on it to make it curve. THAT apparent force is the Coriolis force.

It's what makes air, flowing away from high pressure or into low pressure, form the big rotating pressure systems on the rotating Earth.

What is the magnitude of the force that is exerted on a 20 kg mass to give it an acceleration of 10.0
ANEK [815]

Answer:Mass of the body = 20 kg.

Final Velocity = 5.8 m/s.

Initial velocity = 0

Time = 3 seconds.  

Using the Formula,  

Acceleration = (v - u)/ t

= (5.8 - 0)/ 3

= 1.6 m /s².

Now, Using the Formula,  

Force = mass × acceleration

= 20 × 1.6

=

A long line of charge with uniform linear charge density λ1 is located on the x-axis and another long line of charge with unifor
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A.The positive z-direction

Explanation:

We are given that

Linear charge density of long line which is  located on the x-axis=\lambda_1

Linear charge density of another long line which is  located on the y-axis=\lambda_2

We have to find the direction of electric field at z=a on the positive z-axis if \lambda_1 and \lambda_2 are positive.

The direction of electric field  at z=a on the positive z-axis  is positive z-direction .

Because \lambda_1 and \lambda_2 are positive and the electric field is  applied away from the positive charge.

Hence, option A is true.

A.The positive z-direction

What is the difference between light energy and heat energy​
MrRissso [65]

ANSWER:

What is the difference between heat and light? - Physics Stack ... Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy. Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.
