Why do hurricanes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere

Physics
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A hurricane's spin and the spin's direction is determined by a super-powerful phenomenon called the Coriolis effect. It causes the path of everything from particles in the air to currents in the ocean so they curve as they travel across and over Earth's surfaces.

When a 2.40-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.(a) Wh
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

805.48N/m

Explanation:

According to Hookes law

F = Ke

F is the force = mg

F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N

e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m

Force constant K = F/e

K = 23.52/0.0292

K = 805.48N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m

What is a moment of a force
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It is also referred to as the moment, moment of force, rotational force or turning effect, depending on the field of study. The concept originated with the studies by Archimedes of the usage of levers

A very long, uniformly charged cylinder has radius R and linear charge density λ. Find the cylinder's electric field strength ou
mixer [17]

The cylinder's electric field magnitude, at a distance <em>r</em> from the axis of the cylinder (greater than the cylinder's radius), is equal to E= \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 \cdot r}

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Matter is the building block of everything that we encounter in our lives. Matter is made of atoms, which are in turn made of tiny particles which are called electrons, protons, and neutrons. The ammount of these 3 elements, and their topological configuration in the atoms, is what determines what a certain element is (like Carbon, Hydrogen, Iron, etc).

In some cases, some elements may lose or gain some electrons. Regarded that this missing or extra electrons are not very high in number, the material doesn't lose any of its properties, however it will always try to get its number of electrons back to normal. This is when we say that an element has a <em>charge</em>, which is a measure of how much electrons a body needs to get back to normal. A body has positive charge if it lacks electrons, and has negative charge if it has extra electrons.

This charge causes the material to have an Electric field, which is a measure of how much does it attract or repel electrons. In the case of our problem, we need to compute exactly that, the Electric field. In our problem, we have an infinitely long cylinder with a linear charge density \lambda, this means that all parts of the cylinder have the same charge, and due to symmetry, the electric field is constant on the angular and longitudinal directions of the cylinder.

This makes easy to apply Gauss' Law, since for a Gaussian curve in the shape of a concentric cylinder (with a higher radius than that of our charged cylinder) we can write:

\Phi = \frac{\lambda \cdot L}{\epsilon_0}

Where \Phi is called the Electric flux. Since the electric field is constant for a given distance <em>r</em> from the axis of the cylinder we can write that:

\Phi = E \cdot 2\pi r \cdot L

Joining both our expressions we can get that:

E= \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 \cdot r}
