What is the magnitude of the speed of a person at the equator due to rotational speed of the Earth?

The circumference of the Earth at the equator is listed as 24,901 miles.
So his speed is

                     24,901 miles per day.

Convert it to units that we have a better feel for:

                   (24,901 mi/da) x (1 da / 24 hrs)

             =    (24,901 / 24)  (miles/hour)

             =  about  1,038 miles per hour.

You'll find a huge number of people on the internet these days,
telling you that you could not be moving at that speed and not
feel it, so therefore the Earth is not spinning, and it's not a globe.

I have a lot of feelings and comments about those people, their
lines of reasoning, and their levels of education and intelligence,
so don't get me started.

I just want to guarantee you that everything you're learning about
the Earth and the solar system in school is well founded, and it's
all based on the life's work of some of the smartest people of the
past 300 years of human history.  Everything you're taught about
the Earth has good reasons behind it, whereas those other people
have nothing.

A person on Earth's equator is moving from west to east at roughly
1,038 miles per hour, relative to any point on the Earth's rotation axis.

5. Find the mass of a car that is traveling at a velocity of 35 m/s West.
sattari [20]

Answer:

m = 9795.9 kg

Explanation:

v = 35 m/s

KE = 6,000,000 J

Plug those values into the following equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

6,000,000 J = (1/2)(35^2)m

---> m = 9795.9 kg

A computer monitor uses 200 W of power. How much energy does it use in 10 seconds?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 0.556 Watts</u>

Explanation:

The computer monitor uses 200 Watts of power in an hour, that is the standard measure.

If we want to know, how much energy the computer monitor uses in one second, we will have to divide both sides of the equation into 3,600.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds (60 x 60)

Energy per second = 200/3600

Energy per second = 0.0556 Watts

Therefore to calculate how much energy is used in 10 seconds, we do this:

Energy per second x 10

<u>0.0556 x 10 = 0.556 Watts</u>

<u>The computer monitor uses 0.556 Watts in 10 seconds</u>

Andrej [43]

Answer:

this measurement if feet is: 2.624672 ft

Explanation:

Notice that 80 cm can be expressed as 0.8 meters, and In order to convert from meters to feet, one needs to multiply the meter measurement times 3.28084. Therefore:

0.80 m can be written in feet as: 0.80 * 3.28084 feet = 2.624672 feet
