Could somebody please explain the Coriolis effect? Thank you! (also the subject is physical science but that wasn't an option so I just put physics)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Coriolis Effect makes things appear to move in a curve around our planet, like, for example, a plane. This is also due to the fact that our Earth is round, so nothing really moves in a straight line. It is "an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation."

A child kicks a ball horizontally with a speed of 4.8 m/s off a deck 3.5 m off the
ground. How far, in meters, from the deck does the ball land on the ground?

Answers

Answer:

The horizontal distance the ball travels is approximately 4.055 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height from which the child kicks the ball = 3.5 m

The horizontal speed of the ball = 4.8 m/s

Therefore, we have;

The time it takes the ball to hit the ground is given by the relation;

h = u·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u = The initial vertical velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

t = The time it takes the ball to hit the ground

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the ball = 3.5 m

3.5 = 0 × t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

∴ t² = 3.5/(1/2 × 9.81)

∴ t = √(3.5/(1/2 × 9.81) = 0.8447 s

t ≈ 0.8447 s

The time the ball takes in flight = t ≈ 0.8447 s

Therefore;

The horizontal distance the ball travels = The horizontal velocity × The time of flight

∴ The horizontal distance the ball travels = 4.8 × 0.8447 ≈ 4.055

The horizontal distance the ball travels ≈ 4.055 meters.

A river flows due east at 1.50 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant velocity of 10.0 m/s due north relative to the water. If the river is 325 m wide, how far downstream is the boat when it reaches the north shore?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that the velocity of the river is 1.50m/s due east.

The velocity of the boat with respect to the river is 10.0 m/s due north .

The width of the river is 325 m.

Note that the velocity of the boat will help in crossing the river.

Hence, speed = distance/time

Speed = 10.0 m/s

Distance = 325 m

Time = ?

10 = 325/time

Time = 325/10

Time = 32.5s

Hence in 32.5s the horizontal distance traveled by boat will be

= 1.50m/s × 32.5s

= 48.75m

A 2450 kg stunt airplane accelerates from 120 m/s to 162 m/s in 2.10s. If the airplane is putting out an average force of 5.8810x10^4 N during this time, what is the average friction force exerted on the airplane by the air?

Answers

Given :

A 2450 kg stunt airplane accelerates from 120 m/s to 162 m/s in 2.10 s.

If the airplane is putting out an average force of [tex]5.8810\times 10^4 \ N[/tex].

To Find :

The average friction force exerted on the airplane by the air.

Solution :

Acceleration is given by :

[tex]a = \dfrac{162-120}{2.10}\ m/s^2\\\\a = 20 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Now, force equation is given by :

[tex]F - F_{friction} = ma\\\\F_{friction} = F-ma\\\\F_{friction} = 58810 - (2450\times 20 )\\\\F_{friction} = 9810\ N[/tex]

Therefore, frictional force exerted in the airplane by the air is 9810 N.

How does the Colorado river enrich the lives of millions of people ?

Answers

Answer:

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Loud concerts, power tools, construction work - they're affecting people's hearing. Hearing loss isn't just a problem for older people. In a few minutes, we're going to talk about some of the new high-tech ways of dealing with it. That's the subject of the latest New Yorker article by my guest, David Owen, who is a staff writer for the magazine. He's also a contributing editor at Golf Digest, which is how he got to play golf with Donald Trump. We'll talk about that, too.

But we're going to start with the subject of Owen's new book, "Where The Water Goes," about the Colorado River. The river and its tributaries supply water to over 36 million people in seven states - Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and California - and irrigates close to 6 million acres of farmland. Owen writes about the engineering feats that make all that possible and the legal and environmental battles surrounding the river. The Colorado River is so overtaxed that by the time it reaches the U.S.-Mexico border it's dry.

David Owen, welcome to FRESH AIR. So can you give us a kind of overview sense of the manmade things that have been done to control and disseminate water from the Colorado through the West?

DAVID OWEN: When you look at the Colorado River, it's not a big river. It's done these amazing things. It carved the Grand Canyon. But it's not - it's not broad. It's not like the Mississippi. The Mississippi is 1,000 miles longer, and the entire annual flow of the Colorado River flows down the Mississippi every couple of weeks. And yet in the western United States, it's incredibly important, in seven states. It supplies water to something like 26 million people. It irrigates 6 million acres of agriculture. And most of those 6 million acres are land that the river itself deposited, silt from, you know, what's missing from the Grand Canyon. It spread out across Arizona and California.

So there's this enormous network of canals and irrigation ditches and tunnels that draw water from that river and take it in some cases hundreds of miles away, you know, 300 miles to the west to Los Angeles, you know, 300 miles to the east to Phoenix and Tucson, hundreds of miles across deserts into reservoirs and canal systems. And it's governed by its own - its own laws that determine who gets to pull that water and use it and what they get to use it for.

GROSS: The plan for dividing the water among the seven river states - Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California - that was written up in 1922. You seem to think it's a pretty bad agreement. What makes it so bad?

OWEN: Everybody thinks it's both a bad agreement and a good agreement. It's bad because it divided up the river at a time when people thought the river contained a lot more water than it actually does. It's one of these great sort of ironies of history that in the 19 - the 1920s were some of the wettest years in that part of the country since the 1400s. So the river at that time was carrying more water than ever. And so when the states divided up the river, they were dividing up - actually water that didn't exist. On the other side, the good side is that, well, it's almost a century later and that compact, the agreement among those states, still exists.

GROSS: So how has the world and how has the population in the West changed since 1922 in ways that might make that agreement kind of out-of-date?

OWEN: Well, in lots of ways. There are many more people than anybody imagined in 1922. Some of the biggest, fastest-growing cities in the country are cities that depend on water from that river. Some of the most productive agricultural land draws water from that river. You know, for a long time the fact that they had divided up water that wasn't there didn't make any difference because nobody figured out how to use up all the water anyway. But now we've gotten much better at it and we use it up. So we stretch it farther than people did in those days.

A 2000 kg minivan runs into a 800 kg car that was at rest at a stop sign and they stick together. If the compact car does not stick to the van but, instead, causes the minivan to come to a complete stop. How fast will the car be going after the collision?

Answers

Answer:

 v₂ = 2.5 v₁

car leaves at 2.5 times the speed of the minivan

Explanation:

This is an exercise of conservation of the momentum, to solve it we create a system formed by the minivan and the car, therefore during the crash the forces are internal and the momentum is conserved.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = M v₁+ 0

Final moment. After the crash

        [tex]p_{f}[/tex] = M 0 + m v₂

how momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_{f}

         M v₁ = m v₂

         v₂ = [tex]\frac{M}{m}[/tex] v₁

           

let's calculate

        v₂ = 2000/800 v₁

        v₂ = 2.5 v₁

therefore the car leaves at 2.5 times the speed of the minivan

A book of a mass 0.5kg is dropped from a height of 2.8m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground? (Assume there is no air resistance.) Acceleration due to gravity is g= 9.8 m/s^2.

Answers

Answer:

13.7 J

Explanation:

In absence of air resistance, the mechanical energy of the object is conserved during the fall: this means that the initial gravitational potential energy that it has at the beginning of the fall will be entirely converted into kinetic energy when the book is just about the hit the ground.

Therefore, this also means that we can calculate the mechanical energy at the beginning of the fall, as this will be equal to the mechanical energy just before the book hits the ground.

At the beginning of the fall, the mechanical energy is all gravitational potential energy:

where

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the book

is the acceleration of gravity

h = 2.8 m is the height above the ground

Answers

Answer:

μ = 0.125

Explanation:

To solve this problem, which is generally asked for the coefficient of friction, we will use the conservation of energy.

Let's start working on the ramp

starting point. Highest point of the ramp

         Em₀ = U = m h y

final point. Lower part of the ramp, before entering the rough surface

        [tex]Em_{f}[/tex] = K = ½ m v²

as they indicate that there is no friction on the ramp

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          m g y = ½ m v²

          v = [tex]\sqrt{2gy}[/tex]

we calculate

          v = √(2 9.8 0.25)

           v = 2.21 m / s

in the rough part we use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

          W = ΔK = K_{f} -K₀

as it stops the final kinetic energy is zero

          W = -K₀

The work is done by the friction force, which opposes the movement

          W = - fr x

friction force has the expression

          fr = μ N

let's write Newton's second law for the vertical axis

         N-W = 0

         N = W = m g

we substitute

            -μ m g x = - ½ m v²

           μ = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{2 g x}[/tex]

Let's calculate

           μ = [tex]\frac{2.21^{2}}{2\ 9.8\ 2.0}[/tex]

           μ = 0.125

Explanation:

Argon is the stable element that is used to determine the age of volcanic rock as it is found inside of it.

I dont know if the top is correct but the answer is because i just took the test.

The age of volcanic rock is determined by argon-40 by radiometric dating. Hence option A is correct.

What is radiometric dating?

Using radioactive isotopes found within an object, radiometric dating may determine how ancient something is, such as a fossil, rock, or piece of wood. By analyzing the ratio of radioactive argon to radioactive potassium within a rock, we can use the potassium-argon dating technique to determine the age of the rock or when it was formed.

The fundamental idea behind radiometric dating is that by comparing an isotope's presence in a sample to its abundance on Earth and its known half-life (rate of decay), you may determine the sample's age. Because many radioactive materials degrade more slowly than others, radiometric dating is useful for determining the age of ancient objects.

Argon-40 is used to determine the age of volcanic rock. Therefore, option A is correct.
