Answer:

The correct answer is options (1) and (4).

Explanation:

Due to the rotation of the earth Coriolis force is generated. As the earth rotates from the west to the east, it changes the pattern of global wind and ocean water movement.

This force allows the ocean surface water to move in the clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere, and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Thus, the correct answer is options (1) and (4).

An object is dropped from a platform 100 feet high. Ignoring wind resistance, what will its speed be when it reaches the ground?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

80 ft/s

Explanation:

Use III equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2g h

Here, U = 0, g = 32 ft/s^2, h = 100 ft

V^2 = 0 + 2 × 32 ×100

V^2 = 6400

V = 80 ft/s

An electron is confined to a one dimensional region, bounded by an infinite potential. If the energy of the electron in its firs

OLga [1]

Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

$E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}$

For ground state, n = 1

$E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}$ .............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

$40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}$ .............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

$\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$E_1=10\ meV$

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:

$I = I_{D} - I_{H}$ (1)

Where:

$I_{D}$ - Moment of inertia of the Disk.

$I_{H}$ - Moment of inertia of the Hole.

Then, this formula is expanded as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot R^{2} \right)$ (1b)

Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole ( $m$ ):

$\frac{m}{M} = \frac{R^{2}}{4\cdot R^{2}}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M$

And the resulting equation is:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot M \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot R^{2} \right)$

$I = \frac{1}{2} \cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

$I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?

konstantin123 [22]

The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers - troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere, stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.
