The pressure altimeter is an aneroid barometer that measures the pressure of the atmosphere at the level where the altimeter is located. Consider a jet airliner moving at 447 mgh in a direction 60 degrees cast of north, has a speed relative to the ground of 503 mph due cast. Recall from physics I that a plane has both an absolute speod relative to the ground, and a speed relative to the air. The values are different in the presence of wind. Draw a cartesian vector diagram of the jet, both with respoct to the Earth and ait. a) Calculate the x and y components of the geostrophic wind the plane is flying in. Use 3 sig figs for all. b) If the pilot simply flies along the pressure surface, calculate the rate of change in altitude of the plane using the characteristic Coriolis parameter defined in class. Vg x type your answer. VgY: type your answer. Rate of change of altitude (in m/km): type your answer

Two spherical marbles are released from rest in a viscous fluid.The marbles are made of the same material but the radius of marble 2 is two times larger than the radius of marble 1.The density of the marbles is greater than the density of the fluid.Which one of the following statements is correct? At a particular speed, the resistive drag force of the fluid on marble 2 is twice the force on marble 1. The magnitude of the buoyant force on marble 2 is equal to the magnitude of the buoyant force on marble 1. The resistive drag force of the fluid on a marble decreases as the speed of the marble increases. The resistive drag force of the fluid on a marble is constant until the marble reaches its terminal speed. The magnitude of the buoyant force on a marble equals the magnitude of its weight.
