Hello there.
<span>
At ground level g is 9.8m/s^2. Suppose the earth started to increase its angular velocity. How long would a day be when people on the equator were just 'thrown off'? Why is the expression 'thrown off' a bad one ?
</span>
People would not be thrown off.

Let s = rate of rotation 
<span>Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km </span>
<span>Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. </span>
<span>People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.</span>

Which describes the two parts of a measurement? a unit and a symbol a conversion factor and a number a symbol and a conversion f
wariber [46]
<h2>Right answer: a number and a unit</h2>

The measurement consists in <em>comparing a selected pattern with the object or phenomenon whose physical magnitude is going to be measured, to find out how many times the pattern is contained in that magnitude.</em> That is, it is about identifying or quantifying a particular characteristic or aspect of a particular object or construct.


Now, a well done measurement has two parts:

-The number gives us information about the quantity of the measurement, or in other words, the magnitude of the measurement and its precision.  

-The units gives us information about the property that is being measured. This is quite important, because a measurement or result with no units is useless.

Note the units may be expressed with letter or symbols, depending on what we are measuring.
