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.

Planets A and B have the same mass, but planet A is half the size of planet B.
pychu [463]

Answer:

c. You would weigh less on planet A because the distance between

you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes your weight on each planet is that you would weigh less on planet A because the distance between you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

  • This is based on Newton's law of universal gravitation which states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

Since weight is dependent on the force of gravity and mass, the planet with more gravitational pull will have masses on them weighing more.

  • Since the distance between the person and the center of the planet is smaller, therefore, the weight will be lesser.

A car travels at a constant velocity of 20.0 meters/second for 15 seconds. What is the power of the car if the initial force app
Zielflug [23.3K]
Work done by the force = Force x displacement. Power = work done/time = F.s/t = F.u.t/t = F.u = 95 x 20 = 1900J.                                                                                                                                                                                               {S=ut because acceleration is zero since car is moving at constant velocity}.
