Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is defined as the force that generates due to the rotation of the earth around its imaginary axis. Due to the effect of the Coriolis force, the wind gets deviated. The wind is deviated towards the right in the northern hemisphere, whereas the wind gets deviated towards the left in the southern hemisphere.

Due to this changing wind direction, there occurs the low pressure and the high-pressure zone between the polar and the equatorial zone.  The low pressure zones are formed at the equator and in temperate regions. Whereas, the high-pressure zones are formed at the tropics and the polar region.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

A spaceship moves radially away from Earth with acceleration 29.4 m/s 2 (about 3g). How much time does it take for sodium street
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

doppler shift's formula for source and receiver moving away from each other:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

Explanation:

acceleration of spaceship=α=29.4m/s²

wavelength of sodium lamp=λ°=589nm

as the spaceship is moving away from earth so wavelength of earth should increase w.r.t increasing speed until it vanishes at λ'=700nm

using doppler shift's formula:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

putting the values:

700nm=589nm√(1+β/1-β)

after simplifying:

<em>β=0.17</em>

by this we can say that speed at that time is: v=0.17c

to calculate velocity at an acceleration of a=29.4m/s²

we suppose that spaceship started from rest so,

<em>v=v₀+at</em>

where v₀=0

so<em> v=at</em>

as we want to calculate t so:-

<em>t=v/a</em>                                                v=0.17c      ,c=3x10⁸           ,a=29.4m/s²

putting values:

=0.17(3x10⁸m/s)/29.4m/s²

<em>t=1.73x10⁶</em>

Four forces act on a hot-air balloon, as shown
dolphi86 [110]

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.

The given forces from the image;

  • <em>Upward force = 514 N</em>
  • <em>Downward force = 267 N</em>
  • <em>Eastward force = 678 N</em>
  • <em>Westward force = 397 N</em>

The net vertical force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F_y = 514 \ N \ \ - \ \ 267 \ N\\\\F_y = 247 \ N

The net horizontal force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F_x = 678 \ N \ - \ 397 \ N\\\\F_x = 281 \ N

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F = \sqrt{F_y^2 + F_x^2} \\\\F = \sqrt{(247)^2 + (281)^2} \\\\F= 374.13 \ N

Thus, the magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.
