Answer:
The variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the independent variable.
Example:
If the flow velocity at the bottom of a tank is measured by varying the height of water in the tank, we are measuring velocity as a function of water height.
Therefore,
water height = independent variable (controlled)
velocity = dependent variable (measured in response to water height).
Mathematically,
v = f(h)
where v = response variable (dependent)
h = controlled variable (independent).
Answer:
Choice A: approximately 
, assuming that the two pistons are connected via some confined liquid to form a simple machine.
Explanation:
Assume that the two pistons are connected via some liquid that is confined. Pressure from the first piston:
.
By Pascal's Principle, because the first piston exerted a pressure of 
on the liquid, the liquid will now exert the same amount of pressure on the walls of the container.
Assume that the second piston is part of that wall. The pressure on the second piston will also be . In other words:
.
To achieve a force of 
, the surface area of the second piston should be:
.
Answer:
East component is: 18.64 m/s
Explanation:
If the resultant is 32.5 m/s directed 35 degrees east of north, then we use the sin(35) projection to find the east component of the velocity:
East component = 32.5 m/s * sin(35) = 18.64 m/s
Answer:
Part A
Coriolis effect is used to describe how objects which are not fixed to the ground are deflected as they travel over long distances due to the rotation of the Earth relative to the 'linear' motion of the objects
Due to the Coriolis effect the wind flowing towards the Equator from high pressure belts in the subtropical regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are deflected towards the western direction because the Earth rotates on its axis towards the east
Part B
In the Northern Hemispheres, the winds are known as northeasterly trade winds and in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the southeasterly trade wind. Therefore, Coriolis effect has the same effect on the direction of the Trade Winds in the Southern Hemisphere as it does in the Northern Hemisphere
