What causes winds to form?

1 answer:

4 0

Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.

People in the future may well live inside a rotating space structure that is more than 2 km in diameter. Inside the structure, p

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

diameter of the rotating space = 2 Km

Force exerted at the edge of the space = 1 g

force experienced at the half way = ?

As the object is rotating in the circular part

Force is equal to centripetal acceleration.

at the edge

g = ω² r

ω is the angular velocity of the particle

r is the radius.

now, acceleration at the half way

g' = ω² r'

$g' = \omega^2 (\dfrac{r}{2})$

$g' =\dfrac{1}{2}(\omega^2 r)$

$g'=\dfrac{g}{2}$

People at the halfway experience g/2

hence, the correct answer is option B

Imagine that you are working as a roller coaster designer. You want to build a record breaking coaster that goes 70.0 m/s at the

Rzqust [24]

Wow ! This is not simple. At first, it looks like there's not enough information, because we don't know the mass of the cars. But I"m pretty sure it turns out that we don't need to know it.

At the top of the first hill, the car's potential energy is

PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

At the bottom, the car's kinetic energy is

   KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

You said that the car's speed is 70 m/s at the bottom of the hill,
and you also said that 10% of the energy will be lost on the way
down. So now, here comes the big jump. Put a comment under
my answer if you don't see where I got this equation:

   KE = 0.9 PE

(1/2) (mass) (70 m/s)² = (0.9) (mass) (gravity) (height)

Divide each side by (mass):

   (0.5) (4900 m²/s²) = (0.9) (9.8 m/s²) (height)

(There goes the mass. As long as the whole thing is 90% efficient,
the solution will be the same for any number of cars, loaded with
any number of passengers.)

Divide each side by (0.9):

   (0.5/0.9) (4900 m²/s²) = (9.8 m/s²) (height)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):

   Height = (5/9)(4900 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

      = (5 x 4900 m²/s²) / (9 x 9.8 m/s²)

      = (24,500 / 88.2) (m²/s²) / (m/s²)

      = 277-7/9 meters
      (about 911 feet)

A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 M long, the skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s/s, what's the velocity

nevsk [136]

We can use the kinematic equation
$(v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 + 2*a*d$
where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance

we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s [if you are rounding this by significant figures]
