Earth's rotation and spherical shape cause winds to veer to the right (in the northern Hemisphere) or to the left (in the southern Hemisphere) of the direction they want to go.  This is known as the Coriolis effect.

If you didn't know that you're on a rotating Earth, and you looked at the patterns of the winds, you'd think there's some kind of force that's making the airflow veer to the right or left of the direction it actually wants to go.  This is known as the Coriolis force.  It's a"pseudo force", because it doesn't really exist.  It only LOOKS like it's there, because of the Earth's rotation and spherical shape..

A force of 200 N is applied at piston A, which has a surface area of 4
stira [4]

Answer:

60 cm²

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Surface area

This is a 2 stage problem which requires working out pressure of piston A and then using that pressure from piston A to calculate the surface area of piston B

Firstly work out pressure of Piston A:

Pressure = 200 / 4

Pressure = 50 N/cm²

Then work out the Surface area of piston B :

Since the pressure is transferred the pressure stays the same so :

Surface area = Force / Pressure

Surface area = 3000 / 50

Surface area = 60 cm²

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

a) 10.3 m/s

b) 566 N

Explanation:

v {}^{2}  =  {u}^{2}  + 2as \\ v {}^{2}  = 0 {}^{2}  + 2(9.81)(5.4) \\ v = 10.3 \: ms {}^{ - 1}

force \:  =  \frac{d(mv)}{dt} \\  = 55(10.293) \\  = 566 \: newtons

A stationary horn emits a sound with a frequency of 228 Hz. A car is moving toward the horn on a straight road with constant spe
stiks02 [169]

Answer: 26.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Original frequency of the horn f_o=228\ Hz

Apparent frequency f'=246\ Hz

Speed of sound is V=340\ m/s

Doppler frequency is

\Rightarrow f'=f_o\left(\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\right)

Where,

v_o=\text{Velocity of the observer}\\v_s=\text{Velocity of the source}

Insert values

\Rightarrow 246=228\left[\dfrac{340+v_o}{340-0}\right]\\\\\Rightarrow 366.84=340+v_o\\\Rightarrow v_o=26.8\ m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 26.84\ m/s
