What is the Coriolis effect? Explain how this works

Physics
1 answer:
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]3 years ago
6 0
An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

How many joules of kinetic energy does a pendulum have when it has 100 joules of potential energy
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy is 100 j.    

Explanation:

<h3>The kinetic energy = (potential energy) + (kinetic energy) and the potential energy of 0 J implying its kinetic energy is 100 J, which is its maximum. </h3>

Can someone help me with this Physics question please?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H} where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3} and simplifying a bit:

N=48.0(.5)^4 and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years

Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

-0.55m/s

Explanation:

Given that: For the boy

Weight = 745N

Velocity = +0.35 m/s

Mass of the boy = ?

g = 9.81m/s^2

W = mg

745 = m×9.81

m = 75.94kg

For the girl

Given that:

Weight = 477 N

g = 9.81m/s^2

m = ?

W = mg

477 = m×9.81m/s^2

m = 48.62kg

To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up

48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0

48.62v + 26.579 = 0

48.62v = - 26.579

v = -26.579/48.62

v = -0.5466

v = -0.55m/s

Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.

The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.

Which statement best explains the speed of light waves as they travel from gas to solid?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation:

The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.

When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.

Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength=\lambda=410 nm

\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

\theta=14.5^{\circ}

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta

Substitute the values

(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5

d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}

d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm
