Every hour, earth turns 15 degrees around itself. so:
360 \div 15  = 24
it takes 24 hours to turn 360 degrees. ( completely once)




good luck

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(a)

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b)

v = 13.74 km/s

(c) E = 0.28 N/kg

Explanation:

Time period, T = 3.55 days = 3.55 x 24 x 3600 second = 306720 s

Radius, r = 6.71 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

(a) T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}}

M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GT^{2}}

M=\frac{4\times3.14^{2}\times 6.71^{3}\times 10^{24}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 306720^{2}}

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b) Let v be the orbital velocity

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 6.71\times 10^{8}}{306720}

v = 13739.5 m/s

v = 13.74 km/s

(b) The gravitational field E is given by

E = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}

E = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{6.71^{2}\times 10^{16}}

E = 0.28 N/kg

Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?
notka56 [123]
NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

What does the law of conservation
storchak [24]

Answer:

A  The total amount of matter cannot be created

or destroyed.

Explanation:The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. For example, when wood burns, the mass of the soot, ashes, and gases equals the original mass of the charcoal and the oxygen when it first reacted. So the mass of the product equals the mass of the reactant.
