How would global winds be affected if the earth rotated the opposite direction?

Awind turbine is initially spinning at a constant angular speed. as the wind's strength gradually increases, the turbine experiences a constant angular acceleration 0.173 rad/s2. after making 2870 revolutions, its angular speed is 132 rad/s. (a) what is the initial angular velocity of the turbine? (b) how much time elapses while the turbine is speeding up?

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?

If a tank filled with water contains a block and the height of the water above point a within the block is 0.8 meter, what is the pressure at point a?
