If something is being carried by westerlies, what direction is it moving??

1 answer:

7 0

Winds are immigrants. They're named for where they have already been and are coming from, not for where they're going.

A Westerly wind is coming from the West. Anything caught in it is being blown toward the east.

What do high pressure systems usually cause A: CLEAR, DRY WEATHER B: CLOUDY, WET WEATHER C: COLD, WET WEATHER D: HOT AND HUMID W

Triss [41]

C. Clear, dry weather. A good way to remember is H for high pressure = H for happy weather; L for low pressure = L for lousy weather (Glad I had someone to tell me this)

A wheel initially spinning at wo = 50.0 rad/s comes to a halt in 20.0 seconds. Determine the constant angular acceleration and t

svetlana [45]

Answer:

(I). The angular acceleration and number of revolution are -2.5 rad/s² and 500 rad.

(II). The torque is 84.87 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial spinning = 50.0 rad/s

Time = 20.0

Distance = 2.5 m

Mass of pole = 4 kg

Angle = 60°

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular velocity

$\omega=-\alpha t$

$\alpha=-\dfrac{\omega}{t}$

$\alpha=-\dfrac{50.0}{20.0}$

$\alpha=-2.5\ rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration is -2.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the number of revolution

Using angular equation of motion

$\theta=\omega_{0}t+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t$

Put the value into the formula

$\theta=50\times20-\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.5\times20^2$

$\theta=500\ rad$

The number of revolution is 500 rad.

(II). We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

$\vec{\tau}=\vec{r}\times\vec{f}$

$\tau=r\times f\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=2.5\times4\times 9.8\sin60$

$\tau=84.87\ N-m$

Hence, (I). The angular acceleration and number of revolution are -2.5 rad/s² and 500 rad.

(II). The torque is 84.87 N-m.

1)the car's engine power is 44000W. Explain this number in a physical sense

Ratling [72]

Answer:

1) It expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) P = 20 W

3) h = 18 km

Explanation:

1) Power is the rate of transfer of energy.

⇒ Power = $\frac{Energy(or workdone)}{Time}$

i.e P = $\frac{E}{t}$

Thus a car's engine power is 44000W implies that the engine of the car can propel the car at this rate. This expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) m = 400g = 0.4 kg

t = 20 s

h = 100m

g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$
