The _____ deflects these winds to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the Southern Hemisphere

Physics
1 answer:
almond37 [142]3 years ago
6 0

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.

A 5 kg box is lying at rest on a frictionless surface. If you push it with a constant net force of 10 N, how far will it travel
Contact [7]

The distance traveled by the box over the first 4 s  is 16 m.

To solve the problem above,  First, we apply newton's Fundamental equation of force.

<h3 /><h3>Newton's fundamental equation of force:</h3>

F = ma...................... Equation 1

Where

  • F = Force
  • m = mass of the box
  • a = acceleration

make "a " the subject of the equation

a = F/m...................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 10 N
  • m = 5 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 10/5

a = 2 m/s²

Finally, we use the equation of motion to calculate the distance it will travel over the given period of time.

<h3><u>Equation of motion</u></h3>

s = ut+at²/2........................... Equation 3

Where:

  • s = total distance traveled
  • t = time
  • u = initial velocity

Given:

  • t = 4 s
  • u = 0 m/s (at rest)
  • a = 2 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

  • s = 0(4)+(2×4²)/2
  • s = 0+32/2
  • s = 16 m

Hence, the distance traveled by the box over the first 4 s  is 16 m

A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 41.0-gram mass is attached at the 23.0-cm
aev [14]

Answer:

mass of the meter stick=0.063 kg

or

mass of the meter stick=63.3 g

Explanation:

Given data

m₁=41.0g=0.041kg

r₁=(39.2 - 23)cm

r₂=(49.7 - 39.2)cm

g=9.8 m/s²

To find

m₂(mass of the meter stick)

Solution

The clockwise and counter-clockwise torques must be equal if the meter stick   is in rotational equilibrium

Torque_{cw}=Torque_{cw}\\F_{1}r_{1}=F_{2}r_{2}\\  m_{1}gr_{1}=m_{2}gr_{2}\\(0.041kg)(9.8m/s^{2} )(0.392m-0.23m)=m_{2}(9.8m/s^{2})(0.497m-0.392m)\\0.0651N.m=1.029m_{2}\\m_{2}=0.063 kg\\or\\m_{2}=63.3g

A force of 350N is applied to a body. If the work done is 40kJ, what is the distance through which the body moved?
Studentka2010 [4]

The distance covered by the body is 114.3 m

Explanation:

The work done by a force exerted on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the object in this problem, we have

F = 350 N is the force applied

W=40 kJ = 40,000 J is the work done

\theta=0^{\circ} if we assume that the force is applied parallel to the motion of the object

Solving for d, we find the distance covered by the object:

d=\frac{W}{F cos \theta}=\frac{40,000}{(350)(cos 0)}=114.3 m

50 grams of ice cubes at -15°C are used to chill a water at 30°C with mass mH20 = 200 g. Assume that the water is kept in a foam
Arada [10]

Answer : The final temperature is, 25.0^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of ice = 2.09J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of ice = 50 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of ice = -15^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 30^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

50g\times 2.09J/g^oC\times (T_f-(-15))^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-30)^oC

T_f=25.0^oC

Therefore, the final temperature is, 25.0^oC

Determine the work that is being done by tension in pulling the box 198.0 cm along the table.
Julli [10]
Work, Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
6.1 The Important Stuff 6.1.1 Kinetic Energy
For an object with mass m and speed v, the kinetic energy is defined as K = 1mv2
2
(6.1)
Kinetic energy is a scalar (it has magnitude but no direction); it is always a positive number; and it has SI units of kg · m2/s2. This new combination of the basic SI units is
known as the joule:
As we will see, the joule is also the unit of work W and potential energy U. Other energy
1joule = 1J = 1 kg·m2 (6.2) s2
units often seen are:
6.1.2 Work
1erg=1g·cm2 =10−7J 1eV=1.60×10−19J s2
When an object moves while a force is being exerted on it, then work is being done on the object by the force.
If an object moves through a displacement d while a constant force F is acting on it, the force does an amount of work equal to
W =F·d=Fdcosφ (6.3)
where φ is the angle between d and F.
