Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What occurs in a non-inertial frame?

  • Newton’s laws hold
  • Pseudo-forces appear
  • All forces become zero

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how forces act differently when the frame is accelerating.

Question 2

True or False: The Coriolis effect causes moving air to curve to the left in the Northern Hemisphere.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think back to your geography lessons on storm movements.

Question 1

A bicycle is moving in a circular path at a constant speed. Discuss the forces acting on the cyclist and explain centripetal acceleration in this context.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how leaning changes the rider's center of mass.

Question 2

In a weather system, if high pressure is located at a specific latitude, explain how the Coriolis effect might influence wind direction at that latitude.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how motion differs across the equator and latitude.
