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?
Physics
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
7 0

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

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

Answer:

<h2>2.10 meters per second</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

speed (velocity) = distance / time

                          = <u>0.2 km (1000 m/km) </u>

                                     95 secs.

                          = 2.10 meters per second

A piano has a mass of 99 kg. What is the weight of the piano?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

D.\ 970\ N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Piano: 99kg

Required:

Calculate its weight

The weight of an object is calculate as thus;

Weight = Mass\ (m) * Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ (g)

m = 99kg and g = 9.8m/s^2

The formula becomes

Weight = 99kg * 9.8m/s^2

Weight = 970.2\ kgm/s^2

Weight = 970.2\ N

Weight = 970\ N <em>Approximated</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, the weight of the piano is 970N</em>

Darya [45]

Answer:

a. F=126N

b. E_K=1323J

Explanation:

Given:

m=54kg

v=7 m/s

t= 3s

The runner force average to find given the equations

a.

F=m*a

a=\frac{v}{t}

F=m*\frac{v}{t}=54kg*\frac{7m/s}{3s}

F=126N

b.

Work done by the system by this force so

W=F*d

W=E_K

E_K=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2

E_K=\frac{1}{2}*54kg*(7m/s)^2

E_K=1323J
