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.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

v = \left[\begin{array}{c}0.66&0\end{array}\right]m/s

Explanation:

The position vector r of the bug with linear velocity v and angular velocity ω in the laboratory frame is given by:

\overrightarrow{r}=vtcos(\omega t)\hat{x}+vtsin(\omega t)\hat{y}

The velocity vector v is the first derivative of the position vector r with respect to time:

\overrightarrow{v}=[vcos(\omega t)-\omega vtsin(\omega t)]\hat{x}+[vsin(\omega t)+\omega vtcos(\omega t)]\hat{y}

The given values are:

t=\frac{x}{v}=\frac{14}{3.8}=3.7 s

\omega=\frac{45\times2\pi}{60s}=4.7\frac{1}{s}

During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Energy (I need one more brainlist can i has?)

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion occurs when two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

In both processes, the mass of the products is always smaller than the mass of the initial nuclei. This means that part of the initial mass has been converted into something else: into energy, which is released in the process.

The amount of energy released in the process can be calculated by using the famous Einstein's equivalence:

where m is the difference between the mass of the product and the initial mass of the nuclei, and c is the speed of light.
