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 ?

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>

Who showed that our universe is heliocentric—the planets of the solar system revolve around the sun? Johannes Kepler Isaac Newto
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer from Poland, who was born on the 19th of February in the year 1473. He played a great role in the field of modern astronomy.

He was the person who contributed to the heliocentric theory. This theory describes the position of the sun in the middle of the universe, and all the planets move around the sun. This theory was initially not accepted, and after about a century it was widely accepted.

This theory describes the present-day motion of the planets around the sun in the solar system. This theory replaced the geocentric theory.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

A 20-kg barrel is rolled up a 20-m ramp to the back of a truck whose floor is 5.0 m above the ground. What work is done in loadi
oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775° 

 

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N 

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

<span>Work = 980 J </span>
