The Coriolis effect causes air circulation when <span>Air from the equator moves toward the poles slower than the ground below it, so friction causes the air to veer east. In contrast, air from the poles moves toward the equator faster than the ground below it, so friction causes it to veer to the west. The answer is letter A</span>

Yes, it is because gravity is a force of attraction to the center of our planet, Earth. If we drop a pencil, the pencil will go on the floor. Gravity is pulling the pencil down.

At a meeting of physics teacher in Montana, the teachers were asked to calculate where a flour sack would land if dropped from a

Harlamova29_29 [7]

At a distance of 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

Explanation:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for the sack to reach the ground.

To do so, we just analyze its vertical motion, which is a free-fall motion, so we can use the suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 300 m is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the it takes for the sack to reach the ground:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(300)}{9.8}}=7.82 s$

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. The horizontal velocity of the pack is constant (since there are no forces along the horizontal direction) and equal to the initial speed of the airplane, so:

$v_x = 60 m/s$
