Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.

In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.

A 0.017-kg acorn falls from a position in an oak tree that is 18.5 meters above the ground.

Answer:

Velocity= 19.05 m/s

Kinetic energy= 3.08 J

Explanation:

The corn possess potential energy. Feom law of conservation of energy, all the potential eneegy will be converted to kinetic energy, with negligible friction.

Potential energy, PE= kinetic energy, KE

Potential energy is given by mgh while kinetic energy is given by $0.5mv^{2}$

Equating

$mgh=0.5mv^{2}$

Making v the subject of the formula then

$v=\sqrt {2gh}$

Substituting 9.81 m/s2 for g and 18.5 m for h then the velocity will be

$v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 18.5}=19.0517715711689\ m/s\\v\approx 19.05\ m/s$

To get the kinetic eneegy, since PE=KE AND KE is

$KE=0.5mv^{2}$

Substituting v with 19.05 and m with 0.017 kg we have

$0.5\times 0.017\times 19.05^{2}=3.08467125/ J\approx 3.08 J$

This can also be achieved by mgh since PE=KE hence 0.17*9.81*18.5=3.085245 J and the results are slightly different due to small energy losses and rounding off of values.

A 22.0 kg bucket of concrete is connected over a very light frictionless pulley to a 375 N box on the roof of a building as show

Veronika [31]

Answer:

vf = 3.27[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must analyze each body individually and find the respective equations. The free body diagram of each body (box and bucket) should be made, in the attached image we can see the free body diagrams and the respective equations.

With the first free body diagram, we determine that the tension T should be equal to the product of the mass of the box by the acceleration of this.

With the second free body diagram we determine another equation that relates the tension to the acceleration of the bucket and the mass of the bucket.

Then we equalize the two stress equations and we can clear the acceleration.

a = 3.58 [m/s^2]

As we know that the bucket descends 1.5 [m], this same distance is traveled by the box, as they are connected by the same rope.

$x = \frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}\\1.5 = \frac{1}{2}*(3.58) *t^{2} \\t = 0.91 [s]$
