Answer:

The force of gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2

Gravity accelerates you at 9.8 meters per second per second. After one second, you're falling 9.8 m/s. After two seconds, you're falling 19.6 m/s, and so on.

Time to splat: sqrt ( 2 * height / 9.8 )

It's the square root because you fall faster the longer you fall.

The more interesting question is why it's times two: If you accelerate for 1 second, your average speed over that time is increased by only 9.8 / 2 m/s.

Velocity at splat time: sqrt( 2 * g * height )

This is why falling from a higher height hurts more.

Energy at splat time: 1/2 * mass * velocity2 = mass * g * height

A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.60 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the

zysi [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the geometry of a cylindrical tank and its respective definition.

The volume of a tank is given by

$V = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

Where

d = Diameter

h = Height

Considering that there are two stages, let's define the initial and final volume as,

$V_0 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H$

$V_f = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

We know as well by definition that

$1gal = 3.785*10^{-3}m^3$

Then we have for the statement that

$V_f = V_0 -1gal$

$V_f = V_0 - 3.785*10^{-3}$

Replacing the previous data

$\frac{\pi d^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H- 3.785*10^{-3}$

$\frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}(2)- 3.785*10^{-3}$

Solving to get h,

$h = 1.99963m$

Therefore the change is

$\Delta h = H-h$

$\Delta h = 2- 1.99963$

$\Delta h = 3.7*10^{-4}m=0.37mm$

Therefore te change in the height of the water in the tank is 0.37mm

How does the Coriolis effect influence the direction of the Trade Winds in the Northern Hemisphere? Does it have the same effect

scoray [572]

Answer:

Part A

Coriolis effect is used to describe how objects which are not fixed to the ground are deflected as they travel over long distances due to the rotation of the Earth relative to the 'linear' motion of the objects

Due to the Coriolis effect the wind flowing towards the Equator from high pressure belts in the subtropical regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are deflected towards the western direction because the Earth rotates on its axis towards the east

Part B

In the Northern Hemispheres, the winds are known as northeasterly trade winds and in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the southeasterly trade wind. Therefore, Coriolis effect has the same effect on the direction of the Trade Winds in the Southern Hemisphere as it does in the Northern Hemisphere
