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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

A closed-end organ pipe is used to produce a mixture of sounds. The third and fifth harmonics in the mixture have frequencies of

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$F_1=366.67Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frequency of 3rd harmonics $F_3=1100$

Frequency of 5th harmonics $F_3=1833$

Generally the equation for Wavelength at 3rd Harmonics is mathematically given by

$\lambda_3=\frac{4}{3}l$

Therefore

$F_3=\frac{3v}{4l}$

Generally the equation for Wavelength at 1st Harmonics is mathematically given by

$\lambda_1=\frac{4}{1}l$

Therefore

$F_1=\frac{v}{4l}$

Generally the equation for the frequency of the first harmonic is mathematically given by

$F_1=\frac{F_3}{3}$

$F_1=\frac{1100}{3}$

$F_1=366.67Hz$

What is not an essential part of isolated soldier guidance

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Option B, visual sightings

Explanation:

Options for the question are

A) accountability mechanism

B) visual sightings

C) intelligence

D) surveillance

E) reconnaissance operations, or communications

Solutions

The Fundamentals of Army Personnel Recovery (PR) outlines certain circumstances under which a person has to undergo survival situation thereby taking the necessary steps to avoid capture and return safely to their respective unit.

An isolated soldier is expected to know where they are, upcoming route and rally points. They are supposed to know the near and far recognition signals, recovery site protocols, challenge and password etc. A proper preparation is to be done for this including planning, medicines, kits, etc.

Visual sightings is not an essential part of isolated PR

Hence, option B is correct

What happens to the energy of a photon if the wavelength is doubled?.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Halving the wavelength doubles the frequency and, thus, doubles the energy of the incident photons. This doubles the energy given to each electron, nearly doubling its kinetic energy after it is free from the metal.
