A strong trough in a Rossby wave occurs when the jet stream A. bends towards the Equator. B. bends toward the poles. C. does not bend but maintains an east to west flow. D. does not bend but maintains a west to east flow.

Answers

Answer:

A. bends towards the Equator.

Explanation:

Rossby waves are inertial waves that are naturally occurring in a rotating fluids. These waves are also called as the planetary waves.

The Rossby waves are undulated that occur in the polar front jet stream when there is a significant differences in the temperatures between the polar and the tropical air masses.

It occurs when the polar air masses moves towards the equator and when the tropical air masses moves towards the pole.  It is formed when the air bends away from the poles and bends towards the equator.

Hence the correct option is (A).

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initially at rest. Which of the following correctly identifies the change in total kinetic energy and the resulting speed of the objects after the collision? Kinetic Energy Speed
(A) Increases 2 m/s 3.2 m/s
(B) Increases Soold 2 m/s
(C) Decreases 3.2 m/s
(D) Decreases

Answers

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object [tex]m=2\ kg[/tex]

Speed of object [tex]u=5\ m/s[/tex]

Mass of object at rest [tex]M=3\ kg[/tex]

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

[tex]\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s[/tex]

Initial kinetic energy

[tex]k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J[/tex]

Final kinetic energy

[tex]k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J[/tex]

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.
