Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles, or more slowly? Think about what you know regarding the shap

e and rotation of the Earth, the directions of currents, and convection. Make inferences from what you know. Then give reasons to support your answer.

Explanation:

Coriolis effect: It is an apparent deflection of the moving object. This is an apparent deflection of moving air or water caused by the rotation of the earth.

Currents are created by wind. Their directions are determined by coriolis effect. The earth is in constant motion. It describes the rotation of the earth which steers winds and the surface current. The direction of the wind blows from north and south towards equator.

Earth is sphere in shape. It spins on its axis in a counterclockwise direction when it is seen from north pole.

The object on the equator moves faster than the object further from the equator. The speed of currents and winds are faster at the equator than poles.

<span>The winds and currents flow faster at the equator than the poles because the equator is much warmer than the poles. Also the Earth's rotation is much faster at the equator than at the poles.

What happens to the distance between interference fringes if the separation between two slits is increased?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

It will decrease

Explanation:

The double-slit interference equation, which gives us the position y of a maximum on the screen (measured relative to the central position), is

y=\frac{n\lambda D}{d}

where

n is the order of the maximum

D is the distance between the slits and the screen

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

d is the separation between the two slits

From the formula, we see that y is inversely proportional to d: this means that if the separation between the slits is increased, the distance of each maximum from the central position (y) decreases, therefore the distance between the interference fringes will decrease.

An electron is trapped between two large parallel charged plates of a capacitive system. The plates are separated by a distance
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The electron will get at about 0.388 cm (about 4 mm) from the negative plate before stopping.

Explanation:

Recall that the Electric field is constant inside the parallel plates, and therefore the acceleration the electron feels is constant everywhere inside the parallel plates, so we can examine its motion using kinematics of a constantly accelerated particle. This constant acceleration is (based on Newton's 2nd Law:

F=m\,a\\q\,E=m\,a\\a=\frac{q\,E}{m}

and since the electric field E in between parallel plates separated a distance d and under a potential difference \Delta V, is given by:

E=\frac{\Delta\,V}{d}

then :

a=\frac{q\,\Delta V}{m\,d}

We want to find when the particle reaches velocity zero via kinematics:

v=v_0-a\,t\\0=v_0-a\,t\\t=v_0/a

We replace this time (t) in the kinematic equation for the particle displacement:

\Delta y=v_0\,(t)-\frac{1}{2} a\,t^2\\\Delta y=v_0\,(\frac{v_0}{a} )-\frac{a}{2} (\frac{v_0}{a} )^2\\\Delta y=\frac{1}{2} \frac{v_0^2}{a}

Replacing the values with the information given, converting the distance d into meters (0.01 m), using \Delta V=100\,V, and the electron's kinetic energy:

\frac{1}{2} \,m\,v_0^2= (11.2)\,\, 1.6\,\,10^{-19}\,\,J

we get:

\Delta\,y= \frac{1}{2} v_0^2\,\frac{m (0.01)}{q\,(100)} =11.2 (1.6\,\,10^{-19})\,\frac{0.01}{(1.6\,\,10^{-19})\,(100)}=\frac{11.2}{10000}  \,meters=0.00112\,\,metersTherefore, since the electron was initially at 0.5 cm (0.005 m) from the negative plate, the closest it gets to this plate is:

0.005 - 0.00112 m = 0.00388 m [or 0.388 cm]
