The Coriolis effect is the result of which of these?

2 answers:

8 0

The coriolis effect was discovered in the 19th century by Gaspard. C. Coriolis. It simply relates to anything that moves freely on the surface of the earth including apparent curvature global winds and ocean currents.
This curvature is mainly due to the rotation of the earth around its axis.

Answer:
<span>A.) The rotation of Earth on its axis</span>

I attach a 4.1 kg block to a spring that obeys Hooke's law and supply 3.8 J of energy to stretch the spring. I release the block

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of attached block, m = 4.1 kg

energy of the stretched spring, E = 3.8 J

period of oscillation, T = 0.13 s

First, determine the spring constant, k;

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

where;

T is the period oscillation

m is mass of the spring

k is the spring constant

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\k = \frac{m*4\pi ^2}{T^2} \\\\k = \frac{4.1*4*(3.142^2)}{(0.13^2)} \\\\k = 9580.088 \ N/m\\\\$

Now, determine the amplitude of oscillation, A;

$E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2$

where;

E is the energy of the spring

k is the spring constant

A is the amplitude of the oscillation

$E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2\\\\2E = kA^2\\\\A^2 = \frac{2E}{k} \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2*3.8}{9580.088} }\\\\A = 0.0282 \ m\\\\A = 2.82 \ cm$

Therefore, the amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

A.) If its booster rockets accelerate the space shuttle at 15m/s2, how high will it be one minute after launch?

poizon [28]

Answer:

27,000 m

450 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity is 0 m/s:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 15 m/s²

t = 60 s

A) Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (15 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 27,000 m

B) Find: v_avg

v_avg = Δy / t

v_avg = 27,000 m / 60 s

v_avg = 450 m/s

The purpose of this lab is to explore the various ways to calculate projectile velocity using horizontal, vertical and angle inf

kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy

V0x = V0 cos(θ)

V0y = V0 sin(θ)

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant

Vx = Vocos(θ)

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2

A small sphere has a harge of 9uC and other small sphere has a charge of 4uC.

Helga [31]

Answer:

Electrical force, F = 90 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on sphere 1, $q_1=9\ \mu C=9\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Charge on sphere 2, $q_1=4\ \mu C=4\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance between two spheres, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Let F is the electrical force between them. It is given by the formula of electric force which is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them such that,

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

$F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{9\times 10^{-6}\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}$

F = 90 N

So, the electrical force between them is 90 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
