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.

A weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a total distance of 20 centimeters twice each second.
Zielflug [23.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

8. 2 Hz

9. 0.5 seconds

10. 20 cm


<u>Explanation</u>

<u>Q 8</u>

Frequency is the number of oscillation in a unit time. It is the rate at which something repeats itself in a second.

In this case, the spring bob up and down 2 times per second.

∴ Frequency = 2 Hz

<u>Q 9</u>

Period is the time taken to complete one oscillation.

2 oscillations takes 1 second

1 oscillation = 1/2 seconds.

∴ Period = 0.5 seconds


<u>Q 10</u>

Amplitude is the the maximum displacement of the spring.

In this case the spring bob up 20 cm. This is it's displacement.

∴ Amplitude = 20 cm

a plane travels 204 km, northeast in 15.0 minutes. It also increases elevation by 1.6 km, upward in the same amount of time. Wha
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up

Explanation:

204 kilometres = 204000 metres

15.0 minutes = 900 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time

= 204000 / 900

= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)

1.6km = 1600 metres

Velocity = 1600 / 900

= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)
