Answer: Gradient Wind

Explanation:

Gradient wind, is the wind that accounts for air flow along a curved trajectory. It is an extension of the concept of geostrophic wind; for example the wind assumed to move along straight and parallel isobars (lines of equal pressure). The gradient wind represents the actual wind better than the geostrophic wind, especially when both wind speed and trajectory curvature are large, because they are in hurricanes and jet streams.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: 10.048m/s

Explanation:

We know that the radius is r = 4.0m

And for rotating things, the tangential velocity (or the velocity of the end of the centrifuge arm) can be calculated as:

v = r*w

The period is T = 2.5s,

This means that if sin(w*t) describes this situation, we have that:

sin(w*t) = sin(w*(t + T))

and we know that:

sin(w*0) = 0

sin(w*(0 + T)) = Sin(w*T) = 0

this means that w*T = 2*pi

w = 2*pi/T = 2*pi/2.5s = (2*3.14)/2.5 s = 2.512 hz

Then the velocity can be calculated as

v = r*w = 4.0m*2.512hz = 10.048m/s

How does an octopus or a squid uses Newton's third law of motion to escape from enemies
Sloan [31]
I think everytime they swim away, the water pushes the enemy back, which makes the octopus go faster. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Hope this helps.

Two particles, each of charge Q, are fixed at opposite corners of a square that lies in the plane of the page. A positive test c
amid [387]

Answer:

The magnitude of the net force is √2F.

Explanation:

Since the two particles have the same charge Q, they exert the same force on the test charge; both attractive or repulsive. So, the angle between the two forces is 90° in any case. Now, as we know the magnitude of these forces and that they form a 90° angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force:

F_N=\sqrt{F^{2}+F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2}F

Then, it means that the net force acting on the test charge has a magnitude of √2F.

Tema [17]

Answer:

a

The time it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0⁰C is t= 662 sec = 11.93 min

b)

The time it would take to heat the beef to uniform temperature of 80⁰C is

t = 365 sec =5.93 min

c

 Efficient absorption of Microwave power is in regions of liquid water . Hence if the food or the microwave irradiation  is not uniform, the power will be absorbed non-uniformly, resulting in a non-uniform temperature rise. Defrost region will absorb more energy per unit volume than frozen region.if food is of low thermal conductivity, there will be insufficient time for heat conduction to make the temperature more uniform.Use of low power allows more time for conduction to occur.
