Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does centripetal acceleration depend on?

  • Speed
  • Radius
  • Both
  • Neither

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how faster speeds or smaller radii change the path.

Question 2

True or False: Coriolis acceleration acts opposite the direction of rotation.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the paths of air in a spinning system.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are on a spinning merry-go-round at a radius of 3 meters going at a speed of 5 m/s. Calculate the centripetal acceleration.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the formula for centripetal acceleration.

Question 2

If air moves at 10 m/s in a rotating system at the equator, how does the Coriolis acceleration affect it?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use v and Ο‰ to find the Coriolis factor.
