What is the Coriolis Force?

1 answer:

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.

un resorte de 10cm de longitud recibe una magnitud de fuerza que lo estira hasta medir 15cm ¿cual es la magnitud de la tension u

Ber [7]

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity (called <em>"alargamiento unitario"</em> in spanish) $\epsilon$ of a spring is given by the following formula:

$\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L}$

Where:

$L=10 cm$ is the original length of the spring

$\Delta L=L_{f}-L$ is the elongation of the spring, being $L_{f}=15 cm$ the length of the spring after a force is applied to it.

$\epsilon=\frac{L_{f}-L}{L}=\frac{15 cm - 10 cm}{10 cm}$

Then:

$\epsilon=0.5$
