Empty space; an atom consists of a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a "cloud" of negatively charged electrons
Answer:
<u>B. East of NYC</u>
Explanation:
We can make this conclusion because for one reason New York City is the Northern Hemisphere, and according to the Coriolis effect <em>when objects in the Northern Hemisphere travel long distances above the ground, </em><em>they will be deflected to the right </em>as a result of earth's rotation.
Hence, going by the map of New York on the Northern Hemisphere, <em>when the (object) flight is deflected to the right, for someone in NYC it will indicate a </em><em>shift to the east of NYC</em><em> </em>since the pilot failed to take the Coriolis Effect into account.
Answer:
A. The object falls a distance of 250 m
Explanation:
Hi there!
In the question, you have forgotten the acceleration due to gravity. However, looking on the web I´ve found a very similar problem in which the acceleration due to gravity was as twice as much as it is on Earth.
The equation of height of a falling object is the following:
y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²
Where:
y = height of the object after a time t.
y0 = initial height.
v0 = initial velocity.
t = time.
g = acceleration due to gravity (on Earth: ≅ -10 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
Let´s place the origin of the system of reference at the point where the object is released so that y0 = 0. Since the object falls from rest, v0 = 0.
Then, the height of the object after 5 s will be :
y = 1/2 · 2 · g · t² (notice that the acceleration due to gravity is 2 · g)
y = g · t²
y = -10 m/s² · (5 s)²
y = -250 m
The object falls a distance of 250 m.
