Considering what you have learned about the coriolis effect, briefly describe the coriolis effect on the atmosphere of the plane
BigorU [14]

Answer:

In simple words, The Coriolis Force on Venus is exceedingly mild due to all the planet's sluggish rotation. The Coriolis Influence on the movement of the Earth 's atmospheric is extremely significant, generating continent-sized swirling of cloud formations that are readily visible from space when the Earth rotates on its axis roughly once every 24 hours.

In nuclear fission and fusion reactions mass is converted into energy. The average person in US uses around 100,000,000 J of ene
daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is 3\times 10^{16} J/year

b) The energy that would be released if a 60 kg person were converted entirely into energy is 5.4\times 10^{18} Joules.

c) 180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.

Explanation:

a) Average energy consumed by single person of US = 100,000,000 J/year

Then 300 million US citizen will consume:

300 million = 300 × 1,000,000 = 3\times 10^8

The yearly energy consumption for a US population :

100,000,000 J/year\times 3\times 10^8=3\times 10^{16} J/year

The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is 3\times 10^{16} J/year

b) E = m\times c^2

E = Energy from converted mass of m

c = speed of light

Given mass of person = m = 60 kg

E=60 kg\times (3\times 10^8 m/s)^2 = 5.4\times 10^{18} J

c) Energy calculated in part (b) = E=5.4\times 10^{18} J

The yearly energy consumption for a US population  of 300 million in an year = 3\times 10^{16} J/year

Let the that would be supported by 5.4\times 10^{18} Joules of energy be x.

x\times 3\times 10^{16} J/year=5.4\times 10^{18} J

x=\frac{5.4\times 10^{18} J}{3\times 10^{16} J/year}=180 years

180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.
