How does the Coriolis effect influence the direction of the Trade Winds in the Northern Hemisphere? Does it have the same effect

scoray [572]

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

When do dementia come about

Cerrena [4.2K]

Dementia is a brain disease that causes a decline in memory and cognitive functioning at a much more rapid rate that is expected due to normal aging. There is no known cure and no set age that dementia can occur, but roughly 10% of people will develop it at some point in their lives. It typically affects older people and about 50% of people over 85 have dementia.

You are performing a knee extension exercise. You hold a 20kg weight at full knee extension. The weight is 0.4m from your knee j

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 20 kg

Distance of the object from the knee joint (d) = 0.4 m

Weight of leg is not considered.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, weight of the object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. So,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

= $mg=20\times 9.8 =196\ N$

We know that, moment of a force about a point is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of application of force.

Moment of the given weight about the knee joint is given as:

Moment about knee joint = Weight × Distance from knee joint to weight

Moment about knee joint = 196 × 0.4 = 78.4 Nm

Now, from the diagram below, we can observe that, the weight acts vertically down and thus the sense of rotation about the knee joint at point O is clockwise. So, moment is negative.

Therefore, the moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).
