What is the Coriolis Force?

Physics
1 answer:
lys-0071 [83]2 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.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 14.9 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 107 m from the base
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1) t=1.743 sec

2)Vo=61.388  m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the  initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388  m/sec

4)Vf=17.08 m/s

Explanation:

1)From second equation of motion we get

h=Vit+(1/2)gt^2

here in case(a): Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9m,,put these values in above equation to find the time the ball is in motion

14.9=(0)*t+(1/2)(9.8)t^2

t^2=14.9/4.9

t^2=3.040 sec

t=1.743 sec

2) s=Vo*t

Putting values we get

107=Vo*1.743

Vo=61.388  m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the  initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388  m/sec

4)From third equation of motion we know that

Vf^2-Vi^2=2gh

here Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9 m

Vf^2=Vi^2+2gh=0+2(9.8)(14.9)

Vf^2=292.04

Vf=17.08 m/s
