Answer:

Planetary are deflected to right due to Coriolis effect.

Explanation:

The term Coriolis effect is defined as an effect in which the rotating object experience a force called as coriolis force which acts perpendicular to the axis of rotation and direction of motion. The effect talks about how the moving objects like ocean currents, wind are deflected due to the rotation of earth.

Winds and ocean currents are strongly affect by this effect.

An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 80.0 km/h (about 50 mi/h) is blowing toward the south. (a) If the airspeed o

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

a) 75.5 degree relative to the North in north-west direction

b) 309.84 km/h

Explanation:

a)If the pilot wants to fly due west while there's wind of 80km/h due south. The north-component of the airplane velocity relative to the air must be equal to the wind speed to the south, 80km/h in order to counter balance it

So the pilot should head to the West-North direction at an angle of

$cos(\alpha) = 80/320 = 0.25$

$\alpha = cos^{-1}(0.25) = 1.32 rad = 180\frac{1.32}{\pi} = 75.5^0$ relative to the North-bound.

b) As the North component of the airplane velocity cancel out the wind south-bound speed. The speed of the plane over the ground would be the West component of the airplane velocity, which is

$320sin(\alpha) = 320sin(75.5^0) = 309.84 km/h$

NEED HELP ASAP

Dafna11 [192]

Answers:

a) -2.54 m/s

b) -2351.25 J

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum $p_{o}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ :

$p_{o}=p_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{o}=m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}$ (2)

$p_{f}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (3)

$m_{1}=110 kg$ is the mass of the first football player

$V{o}=-7 m/s$ is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)

$m_{2}=75 kg$ is the mass of the second football player

$U_{o}=4 m/s$ is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both football players

With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:

a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

$m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(110 kg)(-7 m/s) + (75 kg) (4 m/s)}{110 kg + 75 kg}$ (6)

$V_{f}=-2.54 m/s$ (7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south

b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player

The change in Kinetic energy $\Delta K$ is defined as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{o}^{2}$ (8)

Simplifying:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}(V_{f}^{2} - V_{o}^{2})$ (9)

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} 110 kg((-2.5 m/s)^{2} - (-7 m/s)^{2})$ (10)

Finally:

$\Delta K=-2351.25 J$ (10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision

What is the frequency of a wave?

Paladinen [302]

The answer should be the number, or amount, of cycles that occur in a given time. Frequency is basically Hertz. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a certain point every second. I hope that I was able to answer your question.
Peace out!
