What is the Coriolis effect? Explain how this works

1 answer:

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.

Which has the most momentum?

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Both objects have the same magnitude of momentum.

Explanation:

If an object of mass $m$ is moving at a velocity of $v$ , the momentum of that object would be $m\, v$ .

The $100\; {\rm g}$ ( $0.1\; {\rm kg}$ ) object is moving at a speed of $1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ . The magnitude of the momentum of this object would be $0.1\; {\rm kg} \times 1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0.1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Similarly, the momentum of the $1\; {\rm g}$ ( $10^{-3}\; {\rm kg}$ ) object moving at a speed of $100\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ would be $10^{-3}\; {\rm kg} \times 100\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0.1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Hence, the magnitude of momentum is the same for the two objects.

How does the size of a planet affected the amount and type of gas in its atmosphere

dalvyx [7]

There are lots of variables that directly and indirectly contribute to the presence of gas on a surface
if the size of a planet is relatively small it will in turn be that of a smaller area which results in the less area to be covered for gas which basically means higher presence
I can go in depth more but I don't think that would be necessary all you need to know is this ...based on the size and gas will in turn be parallel to it's conformity
