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

in the Southern Hemisphere?

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

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.
