Answer:

causes surface currents to move in circular paths

Explanation:

Coriolis force is a pseudo force that acts on an object which is in motion in a rotating frame of reference. The Coriolis effect causes the winds to move in circular path due to rotation of Earth. In Northern hemisphere, the surface currents rotate counterclockwise and in southern hemisphere, the currents rotate clockwise.

A child whirls a 3.00 kg ball on a string .50 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle. The ball makes 1 revolution in

Answers:

a) $0.5 m/s^{2}$

b) $1.5 N$

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\omega^{2} r$

Where:

$\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s}$ is the angular velocity of the ball

$r=0.5 m$ is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

$a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m$

$a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2}$ This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force $F$ ) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension ( $T$ ) in the string:
