Which of the following statements about the Coriolis effect is correct?

Physics
1 answer:
labwork [276]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option D

The Coriolis effect works at right angles to the direction of airflow

Explanation:

At the equator, Coriolis effect is negligible, basically zero while it's strongest at the poles (to imply statement B is wrong). Moreover, Coriolis effect is affected by the speed of wind and it also affects the speed of wind since when the wind speed decreases, due to friction for example, the Coriolis effect is also reduces.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure and matrix effects such as capillary action.

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

A body oscillates with simple harmonic motion along the x axis. Its displacement varies with time according to the equation x =
frutty [35]

Answer:

θ = (7π / 3) rad

Explanation:

given,

displacement of simple harmonic motion along x-axis

equation is given as

                   x = 5 sin (π t + π/3 )

general equation of simple harmonic motion

                   x = A sin θ

           θ is the phase angle

      θ = π t + π/3

at   t = 2 s

      \theta =\pi \times 2 +\dfrac{\pi}{3}

      \theta =\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\ rad

Phase of the motion at t =2 s is θ = (7π / 3) rad
