Coriolis effect

That’s what I remember from whenever I was in that unit.

The answer should be The Coriolis Effect because that is the #1 main cause of ocean currents.

An object has more momentum if it has which of the following?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

C.) A high velocity and Large mass.

Explanation:

Momentum of any object is defined by following formula

Here : m = mass of object

v = velocity of object

now we know that since momentum is product of mass and velocity

So in order to have more momentum we need the value of this product to be more. So this product will me large is both the physical quantity will be more in magnitude. So if mass is large and velocity will be more then the product of them will be large and hence the momentum of object will be more. Btw I had that question too.

What do you think would happen to the force of attraction of two interacting charges if their distance apart is halved?

sweet [91]

Answer:

The new force becomes 4 times the initial force.

Explanation:

The force of attraction or repulsion is given by the relation as follows :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

Where

d is the distance between the interacting charges

F is inversely proportional to the distance between charges.

If the distance is halved, d'=(d/2), new force is given by :

$F'=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d'^2}\\\\=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{(\dfrac{d}{2})^2}\\\\=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{\dfrac{d^2}{4}}\\\\=4\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\\\F'=4F$

So, the new force becomes 4 times the initial force.

A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway on-ramp. She radioed ahead to another officer 20 mi along the hig

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

We know from the basic speed distance relation that

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Since the car started from rest and it covered the distance between the 2 officer's in 19 minutes we have speed of the car

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{20}{\frac{19}{60}}=63.16mph$

Which clearly exceeds the limit of $60\frac{mi}{hr}$

A ship travels with velocity given by 12, with current flowing in the direction given by 11 with respect to some co-ordinate axe

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$

Explanation:

Velocity of the ship is given as

$v = 12 units$

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current

so we will have two components of the velocity

1) along the direction of the current

2) perpendicular to the direction of the current

so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as

$v_x = v cos\theta$

$v_x = 12 cos11$

$v_x = 11.78 m/s$
