If you were standing on top of a high mid-Pacific island at 15° north latitude, from which direction would you expect the wind t

o come? (Hint: don't forget to consider Coriolis' effect!)

Answer:

Northeast

Explanation:

For a person standing on a top high mid-pacific island on the 15° north latitude, the wind is expected to come from the northeast.

This is because of the Coriolis's effect. According to the Coriolis's effect the the objects moving in the northern hemisphere, tends to veer of their course to the clockwise direction. While moving clockwise from the north the east is witnessed. Thus, the wind is expected from the north east

A particle decelerates uniformly from a speed of 30 cm/s to rest in a time interval of 5.0 s. It then has a uniform acceleration

wel

Answer:

V=20cm/s

Explanation:

The average speed is the distance total divided the time total:

$V=X/T$

First stage:

T1=5s

$v_{f} =v_{o} - at$

But, $v_{f} =0$ (decelerates to rest)

then: $a =v_{o} /t=0.3/5=0.06m/s^{2}$

on the other hand:

$x =v_{o}*t - 1/2*at^{2}=0.3*5-1/2*0.06*5^{2}=0.75m$

X1=75cm

Second stage:

T2=5s

$x =v_{o}*t + 1/2*at^{2}=0+1/2*0.1*5^{2}=1.25m$

X2=125cm

Finally:

X=X1+X2=200cm

T=T1+T2=10s

V=X/T=20cm/s

All of the following are types of perceptual constancies except __________ constancy. A. direction B. size C. shape D. color

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

A direction can be a perceptual constancy, it's the same reason how blind folded, or people suffering from any kind of visual problem or psychological problem are able to make Thier right decision
size, shape, color are perceptual constancy
so the most correct option would DIRECTION

A sailboat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.21 m/s^2 over a distance of 280 m. find the magnitude of the boat's f

sasho [114]

We use the kinematic equations,

$v=u+at$ (A)

$S= ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$ (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given, $u=0$ , $a=0.21 \ m/s^2$ and $s= 280 m$ .

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

$280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s$ .

Therefore from equation (A),

$v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s$

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is $r = 5.077 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Coulomb constant is $k = 9.0 *10^{9} \ N\cdot m^2 /C^2$

The charge on the electron/proton is $e = 1.6*10^{-19} \ C$

The mass of proton $m_{proton} = 1.67*10^{-27} \ kg$

The mass of electron is $m_{electron } = 9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

Then

Electric force on the electron = The gravitational Force

i.e

$m_{electron} * g = \frac{ k * e^2 }{r^2 }$

$\frac{9*10^9 * (1.60 *10^{-19})^2 }{r^2 } = 9.11 *10^{-31 } * 9.81$

$r = \sqrt{25.78}$

$r = 5.077 \ m$

Convert the volume 8.06 in.3 to m3, recalling that1in. =2.54cmand100cm=1m. Answer in units of m3.

galina1969 [7]

1 in=2.54 cm=(2.54 cm)(1 m/100 cm)=0.0254 m
Therefore:
1 in=0.0254 m
1 in³=(0.0254 m)³=1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³

Therefore:

8.06 in³=(8.06 in³)(1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³ / 1 in³)≈1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³.

Answer: 8.06 in³=1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³
