Drawing on eratosthenes' method, if two observers are due north and south of each other and are separated by 400 km, what is the

circumference of their spherical world if they see the same star on their meridian at altitudes of 23 degrees and 47 degrees respectively, and at the exact same time?

<span>6000 km The difference between 23 and 47 is 47-23 = 24 degrees. Since there's 360 degrees in a full circle, that means that the distance between the two observers was 24/360 = 1/15 of the circumference of the world that they're standing on. So just multiply 400 km by 15, giving 15*400 = 6000. So the circumference of the world, those two observers are on is 6000 km.</span>

g Let the orbital radius of a planet be R and let the orbital period of the planet be T. What quantity is constant for all plane
Wittaler [7]

Explanation:

Kepler's third law gives the relationship between the orbital radius and the orbital period of the planet. Its mathematical form is given by :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}a^3

Here,

G is gravitational constant

M is mass of sun

It means that the mass of Sun is constant for all planets orbiting the sun, assuming circular orbits.

A 706-N man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 8.0 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of fr
mariarad [96]

Answer:

t=62 s

Explanation:

Applying the conservation of linear momentum formula:

(m1+m2)*v_{o1}=m1*v_{f1}+m2*v_{f2}

the initial velocity is zero, we can calculate the man's mass using the gravitational force formula:

F_g=m.g\\\\m=\frac{706N}{9.81}\\\\m=72.0kg

now:

m*v_{f1}=-m_b*v_b\\\\V_{f1}=-\frac{m_b*v_b}{m}\\\\V_{f1}=-\frac{1.2kg*8.0m/s}{72.0kg}\\\\V_f=-0.13m/s

That is 0.13m/s due south.

because there is no friction, the man will maintain a constant velocity, so:

d=v*t\\t=\frac{d}{v}\\t=\frac{8m}{0.13m/s}\\\\t=62s

Kinematics practice problems Answers: 4. A race car is traveling at +76 m/s when is slows down at -9 m/s2 for 4
arlik [135]

The new velocity after 4 s is 40 m/s

The height of the spaceship above the ground after 5 seconds is 1,127.5 m

The given parameters for the first question;

  • initial velocity of the car, u = 76 m/s
  • acceleration of the car, a = - 9 m/s²
  • time of motion, t = 4 s

The new velocity after 4 s is calculated as;

v = u + at

v = 76 + (-9)(4)

v = 76 - 36

v = 40 m/s

(5)

The given parameters;

  • height above the ground, h = 500 m
  • velocity of spaceship, u = 150 m/s
  • time of motion, t = 5

The height of the spaceship above the ground after 5 seconds is calculated as;

h_y = h_0 + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h_y = 500 + (150\times 5) -  (0.5\times 9.8 \times 5^2)\\\\h_y = 1,127.5 \ m
