Answer:

The girl exerts more pressure.

Explanation:

Pressure can be defined as the force exerted normally or perpendicularly per unit area.

i.e P = F/A

<u>Girls</u>

Area of the heel = 1cm² = 10^(-4) m²

Force = mg = 50 × 10 = 500N

Pressure =

\frac{500}{10 ^{ - 4} }

= 5 \times  {10}^{6}

<u>\frac{40000}{2.5 \times  {10}^{ - 2} }</u>

<u>= 1.6 \times  {10}^{6}</u>

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
