What does coriolis affect mean?
deflection of moving objects when the motion is described relative to a rotating reference frame.
Must an object be rotating to have a nonzero moment of inertia?
moment of inertia is basically an objects resistance to its state of motion.
Movement of objects used to do work is?
Movement of objects used to do work is motion energy.
Why do things get sucked up into a tornado?
In addition to rotating quickly, the wind in a tornado moves upward rapidly as well. Sometimes fast enough to lift objects.
What is the law of inertia for rotating systems in terms of angular momentum?
An object or system of objects will maintain its angular momentum unless acted upon by an external net torque.
Where can the concept of the center of gravity be used?
Acceleration of rotating objects
Do all rotating objects have angular momentum?
Rotating objects all have angular momentum.
Why is angular momentum used?
In the same way that objects in linear motion tend to remain that way, objects which are rotating tend to keep rotating. Thus, we need both linear and angular (rotational) motion.
Is it possible to heve three suns in one universe?
No. If you have three suns rotating around each other, that would mean that an object would have to be rotating around two other objects that are rotating around the other two objects, which is rotating around the two original objects. It just can't work
Principle of stroboscope?
The principle of a stroboscope is to study rotating, reciprocating, oscillating, or vibrations in objects. A stroboscope is used to make cyclically moving objects appear stationary or slower.
Does Newton's First Law apply to rotating objects?
Newton's first Law (The velocity of an object remains constant unless...) does apply to rotating objects, but the fact that an object is rotating is not specially relevant to application of the First Law.
When you observe objects in space why does it seem that the objects you observe are moving across the sky?
Because the earth is rotating.
What is the coriolist effect?
The Coriolis effect is the appearance of objects to change direction when they are viewed in a rotating field. As the Earth is constantly rotating, this causes moving objects to move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern.
How does a tornado pick up objects?
In addition to rotating, air in a tornado flows upward fairly rapidly. Often, this is enough to lift objects of the ground, sometimes very large objects.
What does coriolis affect mean?
deflection of moving objects when the motion is described relative to a rotating reference frame.
What is the coreolis factor?
In physics, the Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame.
