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.

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is

Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Assuming that the limits of the visible spectrum are approximately 380 and 700 nm, find the angular range of the first-order vis

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

Explanation:

given data

wavelength λ = 380 nm = 380 × $10^{-9}$ m

wavelength λ = 700 nm = 700 × $10^{-9}$ m

to find out

angular range of the first-order

solution

we will apply here slit experiment equation that is

d sinθ = m λ ...........1

here m is 1 for single slit and d is = $\frac{1}{900*10^3 m}$

so put here value in equation 1 for 380 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

$\frac{1}{900*10^3}$ sinθ = 1 × 380 × $10^{-9}$

θ = 0.35 rad

and for 700 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

$\frac{1}{900*10^3}$ sinθ = 1 × 700 × $10^{-9}$

θ = 0.681 rad

so angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )
