SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a) The flea's speed when it leaves the ground is v=1.88m/s

b) The flea move 18cm upward while it is pushing off

Explanation:

Hi

<u>Knwons</u>

Mass m=2.1\times 10^{-4} kg, Work W=3.7\times 10^{-4} J and Force F=0.41N

a) Here we are going to use W=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}, so v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} }= \sqrt{\frac{2(3.7\times 10^{-4} J)}{2.1\times 10^{-4} kg} }=1.88m/s

a) Here we are going to use W=mgh, so h=\frac{W}{mg}= \frac{3.7\times 10^{-4} J}{(2.1\times 10^{-4} kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0,1797m or 18cm approx.

Homer Agin leads the Varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, Homer hit a 34.5 m/s sinking curve ball head on, sending it of
Aneli [31]

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.

Naoki's bicycle has a mass of 9 kg. If Naoki sits on her bicycle and starts pedaling with a force of 107.2 N, causing an acceler
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

m = F/a

m = 107.2/1.6 = 67 kg

so Naoki's mass must be the total mass - mass of the bike

so her mass is 67 - 9 = 58 kg...B

What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15? A) They are isotopes of nitrogen and they cont
AleksandrR [38]
<span>Answer: A) They are isotopes of nitrogen and they contain the same number of protons and electrons but each contains a different number of neutrons - 7 and 8 respectively.

Isotopes are atoms of a chemical element whose nucleus has the same atomic number, Z, but different atomic mass, A. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the atom, therefore the isotopes of an element contain the same number of protons and electrons (atoms have to be neutral particles). The difference in atomic masses arises from the difference in the number of neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
