A scientist studying earth's rotation determines that a specific location on earth's equator travels about 40,000 kilometers in one day. What is the approximate speed of the location, in miles per hour, due to earth's rotation
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Discussion
The first thing you have to do is convert km to miles
Formula
1 mile = 1.6 km
x mile = 40000 km Cross Multiply
Solution
1.6*x = 1 * 40000 Divide by 1.6
x = 40000/1.6
x = 25000 miles
Answer Part 1
The distance covered is 25000 miles
Discussion Part 2
That's the distance covered in a day. Now we need to convert that to speed. The time (in hours) for 1 day is 24 hours.
Givens
d = 25000 miles
t = 24 hours
s = ?
Solution
s = d/t
s = 25000 / 24
s = <u>1041.66 </u> miles per hour
Answer: 1041.66 is what is to be entered as your answer

Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a circle is pi times radius squared. We know the diameter, witch is twice the radius. Usually we use 3.14 as pi, but it can also be 22/7. If you have to show your work, try looking for if it asks for pi in the decimal or fraction form. Can I get brainliest?
Answer:
T(3) = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are trying to find the 3rd term of this <em>specific </em>sequence, then we simply plug in 3 as n.
T(3) = (3)² + 4
T(3) = 9 + 4
T(3) = 13
However, this isn't proper notation for an arithmetic or geometric sequence.
Answer:
The absolute value of a number is the distance between the number and zero on a number line. In other words, a number and its opposite have the same absolute value.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-x-2) (-2x -3)=0
=>[-(x +2)] [-(2x+3)]=0
=>(x + 2)(2x +3)=0
=>x =-2 or,x=-3/2
smaller x=-2
larger x =-3/2
