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

Physics
1 answer:
labwork [276]4 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.

An excited 92 kg football player celebrates a touchdown by carelessly running straight into the goalpost at 9.4 m/s. He bounces
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

i. 15.6 m/s

ii. I = 1.44 KNs

Explanation:

The impulse, I, on a body is the product of force applied on it and the time it acts.

i.e I = F x t

Impulse is sometimes expressed as the change in momentum of a body. It is measured in Ns.

i. mass, m, of the player = 92 kg

initial velocity of the player, u = 9.4 m/s

final velocity of the player, v = 6.2 m/s

Since he bounces back on hitting the pole, then the sign of initial and final velocities are of opposite sign.

So that,

change in velocity of the player = final velocity - initial velocity

                                          = 6.2 - (-9.4)

                                         = 6.2 + 9.4

                                         = 15.6 m/s

change in velocity of the player is 15.6 m/s

ii. Impulse, I = m(v - u)

                    = 92 x 15.6

                    = 1435.2

Impulse on the player is 1.44 KNs.

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are examples of rapid events that are caused by the movement of Earth's _______. Mountain bui
andrew11 [14]

The correct answer is - C. Crustal plates, crustal plates.

The movement of the crustal plates of the Earth is the reason why the geologic processes are occurring on our planet. With their movement, the crustal plates manage to create lot of pressure, open up gaps for the magma from the mantle, as well as make adjustments deeper into the ground.

Because of the adjustments deep into the ground, or rather the crust, lot of force is released, manifested as strong and very quick vibrations, better known as earthquakes.

The gaps that are opening between the plates let the magma reach the surface, thus enabling the volcanic activities on the planet.

The pressure from the plates' collision makes the land lift up slowly, and over time a mountain range starts to form because of the continuous lifting up of the area.
