Which of the following statements about the Coriolis effect is correct?

labwork [276]

Answer:

Option D

The Coriolis effect works at right angles to the direction of airflow

Explanation:

At the equator, Coriolis effect is negligible, basically zero while it's strongest at the poles (to imply statement B is wrong). Moreover, Coriolis effect is affected by the speed of wind and it also affects the speed of wind since when the wind speed decreases, due to friction for example, the Coriolis effect is also reduces.

A 70.0 kg man jumping from a window lands in an elevated fire rescue net 11.0 m below the window. He momentarily stops when he h

levacccp [35]

Answer:

70.15 Joule

Explanation:

mass of man, m = 70 kg

intial length, l = 11 m

extension, Δl = 1.5 m

Let K is the spring constant.

In the equilibrium position

mg = K l

70 x 9.8 = K x 11

K = 62.36 N/m

Potential energy stored, U = 0.5 x K x Δl²

U = 0.5 x 62.36 x 1.5 x 1.5

U = 70.15 Joule

A person is standing on an elevator initially at rest at the first floor of a high building. The elevator then begins to ascend

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:

$a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}$

Explanation:

(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)

We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.

<h3></h3><h3>Stage 1</h3>

Constant acceleration, starts from rest.

Distance = $y = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2$

Velocity = $v_1=at_1$

<h3>Stage 2</h3>

Constant velocity where

Velocity = $v_o=v_1=at_1$

Distance =

<h3> $y_2=v_2(t_2)\\\text{Where~}t_2=4t_1 ~\text{and}~ v_2=v_1=at_1\\y_2=(at_1)(4t_1)\\y_2=4a(t_1)^2\\$ </h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>

Constant deceleration where

Velocity = $v_0=v_1=at_1$

Distance =

$y_3=v_1t_3-\frac{1}{2}a(t_3)^2\\\text{Where}~t_3=t_1\\y_3=v_1t_1-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Where}~ v_1t_1=a(t_1)^2\\y_3=a(t_1)^2-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Subtracting both terms:}\\y_3=\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2$

<h3>Total Height</h3>

Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

Total height = $\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2+4a(t_1)^2+\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2 = 5a(t_1)^2$

<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>

Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.

Total Height = h

h = 5a(t₁)²

$a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}$
