How does jet stream form

Physics
1 answer:
barxatty [35]3 years ago

Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.

A 92-kg fullback moving south with a speed of 5.8 m/s is tackled by a 110-kg lineman running west with a speed of 3.6 m/s. Assum
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The speed and direction of the two players immediately after the tackle are 3.3 m/s and 53.4° South of West

Explanation:

given information:

mass of fullback, m_{x} = 92 kg

speed of full back, v_{x} = 5.8 to south

mass of lineman, m_{y} =110 kg

speed of lineman, v_{y} = 3.6

according to conservation energy,

assume that the collision is perfectly inelastic, thus

initial momentum = final momentum

                            P_{ix} = P_{x}'

                          m₁v₁ = (m₁+m₂)v_{x}'

                             v_{x}' = m₁v₁/(m₁+m₂)

                                  = (92) (5.8)/(92+110)

                                  = 2.64 m/s

                            P_{iy} = P_{y}'

                         m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂)v_{y}'

                             v_{y}' = m₁v₁/(m₁+m₂)

                                  = (110) (3.6)/(92+110)

                                  = 1.96 m/s

thus,

v' = √v_{x}'²+v_{y}'²

  = 3.3 m/s

then, the direction of the two players is

θ = 90 - tan⁻¹(v_{y}'/v_{x}')

  = 90 - tan⁻¹(1.96/2.64)

  = 53.4° South of West

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

where kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), mass in kilograms (kg), and velocity in meters per second (m/s).

The work (W) of this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the kinetic energy of the particle:

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*v2^{2}-\frac{1}{2} *m*v1^{2}

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*(v2^{2}-v1^{2})

In this case:

  • W=?
  • m= 2,145 kg
  • v2= 12 \frac{m}{s}
  • v1= 25 \frac{m}{s}

Replacing:

W=\frac{1}{2} *2145 kg*((12\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(25\frac{m}{s} )^{2})

W= -515,872.5 J

<u><em>The work required is -515,872.5 J</em></u>
