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.

Bob is coming toward you at a speed of 75 km/hr. You throw a baseball in his direction at 75 km/hr. What does he see the ball do

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

He sees the ball coming at him at 150 km/hr.

Explanation:

In Newtonian physics, the observer would say that the velocity of the first object is the sum of the two velocities.

Due to the same direction, both velocities will be added.

Each of two small non-conducting spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 40 μC. When the two spheres are 50 cm

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

$q_{1}$ = charge on one sphere

$q_{2}$ = charge on other sphere

$q$ = Total charge on the two spheres = 40 μC

$q_{1}+ q_{2}$ = $q$

$q_{1}+ q_{2}$ = 40 x 10⁻⁶

$q_{1}$ = (40 x 10⁻⁶) - $q_{2}$ eq-1

$r$ = distance between the two spheres = 50 cm = 0.50 m

$F$ = magnitude of force between the two spheres = 2.0 N

Magnitude of force between the two spheres is given as

$F = \frac{k q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

$2.0 = \frac{(9\times 10^{9}) ((40\times 10^{-6}) - q_{2}) q_{2}}{0.50^{2}}$

$q_{2}$ = 1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject materia

kramer

Answer:

The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass $M_{Io}=8.93\times10^{22}\ kg$

Radius = 1821 km

Height $h_{Io}=500\ km$

Suppose we need to find that how high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io?

We need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Io

Using formula of gravity

$g =\dfrac{GM_{Io}}{(R_{Io})^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$g=\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times8.93\times10^{22}}{(1821\times10^{3})^2}$

$g=1.79\ m/s^2$

Let v be the speed at which the material is ejected.

We need to calculate the height

Using the formula of height

$H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

Using ratio of height of earth and height of Io

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{e}}}{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{Io}}}$

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{g_{Io}}{g_{e}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{1.79}{9.8}$

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=0.182$

$H_{e}=0.182\times H_{Io}$

$H_{e}=0.182\times500$

$H_{e}=91\ km$

Hence, The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.
