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.

Suppose a 20-foot ladder is leaning against a building, reaching to the bottom of a second-floor window 15 feet above the ground
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The answer is β=0,85 rads

Explanation:

As the ladder is leaning against the building, we can imagine there´s a triangle where 20ft is the hypotenuse and 15ft is the maximum vertical distance between the ladder and the ground, it means, the leg opposite to β which is the angle we need

Let β(betha) be the angle between the ladder and the ground

We also know that sin(betha)=(leg opposite)/(hypotenuse)

In this case we will need to find β, this way:

betha=sin^-1((15ft/20ft))

Then β=48,6°  

We also have that 2πrads is equal to 360°, in this way we find how much β is in radians:

betha=(48,6°)*(2pirads/360°)

then we find β=0,85rads

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow<br> accelerated?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a            Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2
