Answer:

Coriolis Effect

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect is responsible for the deflection of winds to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the right in the Southern hemisphere. It is an effect that occurs because of the rotation of the earth around its axis.

The implication of this is that in areas of low pressure in the Northern hemisphere, winds tend to blow in anticlockwise direction, and in areas of high pressure, it blows in a clockwise direction. The opposite of this happens in the Southern hemisphere.

Physics, calculating net force. Please work it out for me

Margarita [4]

Answer:

F = 2985.125 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 8 m

Speed of Micheal, v = 17 m/s

Mass of body, m = 65 kg We need to find the net force acting on Micheal. Net force act the bottom of the circle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\\F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)\\\\=65(\dfrac{17^2}{8}+9.8)\\\\=2985.125\ N$

So, the net force is 2985.125 N.

A person just supports a mass of 20kg suspended from a rope.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

F = 200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass suspended from the rope, m = 20 kg

We need to find the resultant force acting on the rope. The resultant force on the rope is equal to its weight such that,

F = mg

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

Put all the values,

F = 20 kg × 10 m/s²

F = 200 N

So, the resultant force on the mass is 200 N.

Two long parallel wires are separated by forty centimeters and carry oppositely-directed currents of ten amperes. Find the magni

Softa [21]

Answer:

1.04μT

Explanation:

Due to both wires have opposite currents, the magnitude of the total magnetic field is given by

$B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_1}-\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_2}$

I: electric current = 10A

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^{-7} N/A^2

r1: distance from wire 1 to the point in which B is measured.

r2: distance from wire 2.

The distance between wires is 40cm = 0.4m. Hence, r1=0.2m r2=0.6m

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

$B_T=\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}N/A^2)(10A)}{2\pi}(\frac{1}{0.4m}-\frac{1}{0.6m})=1.04*10^{-6}T =1.04\mu T$

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.04μT
