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.

An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The right answer is "1.369 m/s²".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Distance (s)

= 260 m

Initial speed (u)

= 26 m/s

Reaction time (t')

= 0.51 s

During reaction time, the distance travelled by locomotive will be:

⇒  s'=ut'

        =26\times 0.51

        =13.26 \ m

Remained distance between locomotive and car:

⇒  x=s-s'

         =260-13.26

         =246.74 \ m

Now,

The final velocity to avoid collection is, V = 0 m/s

From third equation of motion:

⇒  V^2=u^2+2ax

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  0=(26)^2+2\times a\times 246.74

⇒  0=676+493.48a

⇒  493.48a=-676

⇒            a=-\frac{676}{493.48}

⇒            a=1.369 \ m/s^2

The Andromeda Galaxy is faintly visible to the naked eye in the constellation Andromeda. Suppose instead it were located in the
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a) We could not see it at all.

Explanation:

The most distant object that can be seen is the andromeda galaxy, which we may have a slight view of. The andromeda galaxy is a large galaxy that along with the previous two is also part of the local group. Spiral-type galaxy that is approximately 250,000 light years in diameter (more than twice the diameter of the Milky Way!) And is about 2.9 million light years away from our galaxy. Because of its distance, we have difficulty visualizing this galaxy, we would have this difficulty even if the andromeda galaxy was in the center of the Milky Way, but maintaining its current distance. That is, even if the andromeda galaxy were located in the same direction in space as the center of the Milky Way (but still at its current distance), we could not see it at all.

An apple is initially sitting on the bottom shelf of a pantry. A hungry physics student picks up the apple to eat it, but change
andre [41]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Work done is given by multiplying force and distance moved. The distance is moved both positive and negative and it's equal distance. Since force used is the same hence work

W=F*d+ (F*-d)=0

Therefore, total work done is zero

A convex lens with a focal length of 10 cm is located 30 cm away from a
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: 15 cm

Explanation:

According to the Lens Equation we have the following:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} (1)

Where:

f=10 cm is the focal length

u=30 cm is the distance between the candle (the object) and the lens

v is the distance between the image and the lens

Isolating v:

v=\frac{uf}{u-f}} (2)

Solving:

v=\frac{(30 cm)(10 cm)}{30 cm-10 cm}} (3)

Finally:

v=15 cm This is where the image is located
