Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is an inertial frame?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of a situation where there is no acceleration.

Question 2

Easy

What is a pseudo-force?

πŸ’‘ Hint: It arises because the frame itself is accelerating.

Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What characterizes an inertial frame?

  • Constant velocity
  • Constant acceleration
  • Variable velocity

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about situations free from acceleration.

Question 2

In which direction does Coriolis acceleration act?

  • To the center of the circle
  • Perpendicular to velocity
  • In the direction of motion

πŸ’‘ Hint: How does it affect wind directions across the globe?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A carousel at the park is rotating. If a child with a mass of 20 kg is riding at 5 m from the center, calculate the centripetal acceleration acting on the child. Explain its significance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use centripetal acceleration formula; if speed is unknown, think about the ride’s stable motion.

Question 2

Consider a tornado’s formation. How do inward centripetal forces and outward Coriolis effects influence the tornado's path?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Link these forces with meteorological principles and tornado characteristics.
