Zorch, an archenemy of superman, decides to slow earth's rotation to once per 27.4 h by exerting an opposing force at and parall

el to the equator. superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows zorch can only exert a force of 3.98 ✕ 107 n (a little greater than a saturn v rocket's thrust). how long in seconds must zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (this period gives superman time to devote to other villains.)

If we assume that Earth is a solid sphere, then I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.98e24kg * (6.371e6m)² = 9.71e37 kg·m² 
torque τ = Iα, but also τ = F*r = 3.98e7N * 6.371e6m = 2.54e14 N·m Since τ = τ, 2.54e14 N·m = 9.17e37kg·m² * α α = 3.61e-23 rad/s² 
ωo = 2πrads / (24h*3600s/h) = 7.27e-5 rad/s ω1 = 2πrads / (28h*3600s/h) = 6.23e-5 rad/s 
Plug in numbers t = 2/5 * (5.98 * 10^24 kg) * (6.37*10^6 m) * (7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s - 6.23 * 10^-5 rad/s) / (3.98*10^7 N) = 3.98*10^22 s = 1.26*10^17 yrs

Lúc 7g bạn an đi từ nhà đến trường với tóc độ trung bình là 20km/h . Bạn đến trường lúc 7g20. Tính khoảng cách từ nhà tới trường
Len [333]

Answer:

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 20 km/h

Departure time = 7:00

Arrival time = 7:20

Time taken = 20 minutes

To calculate the distance travelled from home to school;

First of all, we would have to convert the value of time in minutes to hours.

Conversion:

60 minutes = 1 hour

20 minutes = X hours

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Mathematically, the distance travelled by an object is calculated by using the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 20 * 1/3

Distance = 20/3 =

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!
