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.

A pencil is rolled off a table of height 0.92 m. If it has horizontal speed pf 1.4 m/s, how long does it take the pencil to reac
Alenkasestr [34]

The distance an object falls, from rest, in gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (G) (T²)

                        'T' is the number seconds it falls.

In this problem,

                         0.92 meter = (1/2) (9.8) (T²)

Divide each side by  4.9 :   0.92 / 4.9 = T²

Take the square root
of each side:                          √(0.92/4.9) = T

                                                  0.433 sec = T    

The horizontal speed doesn't make a bit of difference in
how long it takes to reach the floor.  BUT ... if you want to
know how far from the table the pencil lands, you can find
that with the horizontal speed.

The pencil is in the air for  0.433 second.
In that time, it travels
                                   (0.433s) x (1.4 m/s) = 0.606 meter

from the edge of the table.

Delicious77 [7]
<span>We know that the momentum keeps constant in a inelastic collisions, so the product of mass and speed do not change:
   m1 * v1 + m2 * v2 = m * v
 1 * 1 + 5 * 0 = (1 + 5) * v
  1 = 6 * v
 v = 1/6 m/s
   So the final speed of the 6 kg chunk will travel at 0.167 m/s</span>
