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.

Riders on a ferris wheel move in a circle with a speed of 4.0 m/s. As they go around, they

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: D = 16m

Explanation: given values: a = 2 m/s2, v = 4 m/s
In this case we have to determine the diameter of the Ferris wheel.
Diameter of circle is given as: D = 2.r.
First we have to find radius of wheel. The best way to find that is using the centripetal acceleration equation: a = v2/r
Plug in values in above equation to find radius: 2 m/s2 = (4 m/s)2/r 2 m/s2 = (16 m2/s2)/r r = (16 m2/s2)/2 m/s2
r = 8.0m
Diameter of Ferris wheel is:
D = 2.r.
D = 2.8m
D = 16m

A certain dielectric with a dielectric constant = 24 can withstand an electric field of 4 107 V/m. Suppose we want to use this d

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field E = 4 x 10⁷ V / m

Dielectric constant k = 24

capacitance of capacitor

C = kε₀ A / d

d = plate separation

A = plate area

C = .89 x 10⁻⁶

V / d = electric field

for minimum d , electric field will be maximum

V / d = 4 x 10⁷

1930 / d = 4 x 10⁷

d = 1930 / 4 x 10⁷

d = 482.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

= 48.25 x 10⁻⁶ m

C = kε₀ A / d

.89 x 10⁻⁶ = 24 ε₀ A / d

A = .89 x 10⁻⁶ X d / 24 ε₀

A = .89 x 10⁻⁶ X 48.25 x 10⁻⁶ / 24 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= 42.9 / 212.4

= .2019 m²

Explain the correspondence that lets us easily translate between linear motion and rotational motion. What are the linear analog

RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The linear analog of angle is angle itself.

The linear analog of angular velocity is linear velocity.

ω is angular velocity, therefore linear velocity is given by v

∴ for linear velocity, $v^{2} = u^{2}+2.a.S$

for angular velocity, $\omega_{f}^{2} = \omega _{i}^{2}+2.a.S$

The linear analog of angular acceleration is acceleration.

α is angular acceleration whereas as a is linear acceleration.

∴ for linear acceleration, v = u + a.t

for angular acceleration, $\omega_{f}= \omega _{i}+\alpha .t$

The linear analog of moment of inertia is mass.

I is moment of inertia and m is mass,

∴ for linear analog, F = m.a

for angular analog, τ - I.α
