A. coriolis effect

B. magnetic field

C. pressure gradient

D. friction

a path of sargassum, an open ocean marine plant drifts westwardat 30 degree N in ocean current at a speed of v = 30 cm/s

Given:

acceleration (due to the coriolis force is ac = 2VΩEsinφ where Vis velocity of the patch

ΩE = 7.27 x 10^-5 s^-1 is the rotation rate of earth (equivalentto 360 degree per day)

φ is latitude

Q: what is acceleration of patch caused by coriolis force(gravity of g = 9.81 ms^-2 by ration g/ac) and how far would thepatch deflect after 1 hour (deflection of patch during time is d =1/2 act^2)

If you jumped out of an airplane, you would begin speeding up asyou fall downward, due to wind resistance, your velocity wouldbecome consistant with time. After this occurs, the magnitude ofthe force of wind resistance is
a) equal to the force of gravity acting on you
b) is slightly smaller than the force of gravity acting onyou
c) is greater than the force of gravity acting on you
d) is much smaller than the force of gravity acting on you
