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.

[3 points] Question: Consider a pendulum made from a uniform, solid rod of mass M and length L attached to a hoop of mass M and

aliina [53]

Answer:

I= $\frac{4}{3}ML^2+2MR^2+2MRL$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of rod=M

Length of rod=L

Mass of hoop=M

Radius of hoop=R

We have to find the moment of inertia I of the pendulum about pivot depicted at the left end of the slid rod.

Moment of inertia of rod about center of mass= $\frac{1}{12}ML^2$

Moment of inertia of hoop about center of mass= $MR^2$

Moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot left end,I= $\frac{1}{12}ML^2+M(\frac{L}{2})^2+MR^2+M(L+R)^2$

Moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot left end,I= $\frac{1}{12}ML^2+\frac{1}{4}ML^2+MR^2+MR^2+ML^2+2MRL$

Moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot left end,I= $\frac{1+3+12}{12}ML^2+2MR^2+2MLR$

Moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot left end,I= $\frac{16}{12}ML^2+2MR^2+2MRL$

Moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot left end,I= $\frac{4}{3}ML^2+2MR^2+2MRL$

What is the physical property of a star used to classify the stars by spectral type?

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Stellar Spectra Classification The patterns of lines detected in stellar spectra are used by astronomers to classify stars into spectral classes. These spectral classes are a measure of a star's surface temperature since the temperature of a star dictates which absorption lines are present in its spectrum.
