What makes global winds curve rather than move in a straight line?​

Physics

Anton [14]3 years ago

As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. As a result, an object moving north or south along the Earth will appear to move in a curve, instead of in a straight line. ... The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.

Answer:

because the Earth rotates, circulating air is deflected. Instead of circulating in a straight pattern, the air deflects toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved paths. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect.

Which physical phenomenon is illustrated by the fact that the prism has different refractive indices for different colors
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The incoming white light is composed of light of different colors,

Since these different colors have different refractive indices they are refracted at different angles from one another.

The output light is then separated by color creating a color spectrum.

Since n is greater for shorter wavelengths  (violet colors) these wavelengths are refracted thru the larger angles.

What were the patterns that people saw in the sky long ago?
Lena [83]
Long time ago, people saw the constellations as patterns in the sky.  They names these patterns and tell stories about them. What people saw laong time ago are just mere patterns which forms animals and shapes.  We got the names of our constellations from the Greeks who named the constellations after the mythological heroes and mythological legends.

Rami uses a disposable camera that has a flash. When he wants to take a picture, he holds a button and hears a rising whining so
ivann1987 [24]
<span>It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.

An object is pushed from rest across a sheet of ice, accelerating at 8.0 m/s^2 [E] over a displacement of 1.05 m [E]. The object
tatiyna

Answer:

D_T=18.567m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Acceleration a=8.0 m/s^2

Displacement d=1.05 m

Initial time t_1=6.0s

Final Time t_2=2.5s

Generally the equation for Velocity of 1.05 travel is mathematically given by

Using Newton's Law of Motion

 V^2=2as

 V=\sqrt{2*6*1.05}

 V=4.1m/s

Generally the equation for Distance traveled before stop is mathematically given by

 d_2=v*t_1

 d_2=3.098*4

 d_2=12.392

Generally the equation for Distance to stop is mathematically given by

Since For this Final section

Final velocity v_3=0 m/s

Initial velocity u_3=4.1 m/s

Therefore

Using Newton's Law of Motion

 -a_3=(4.1)/(2.5)

 -a_3=1.64m/s^2

Giving

 v_3^2=u^2-2ad_3

Therefore

 d_3=\frac{u_3^2}{2ad_3}

 d_3=\frac{4.1^2}{2*1.64}

 d_3=5.125m

Generally the Total Distance Traveled is mathematically given by

 D_T=d_1+d_2+d_3

 D_T=5.125m+12.392+1.05 m

 D_T=18.567m
