What if the earth was flat

Physics

Zinaida [17]3 years ago

If the Earth were flat, then ...

-- the sun would never rise;

-- the sun would never set;

-- the sun would look larger and smaller at different times of day;

-- you would be able to see Mt. McKinley, Mt. Everest, Mt. Pinatubo,
and Mt. Kilimanjaro, all from your front yard or your bedroom window;

-- in fact, when the air is clear, you would be able to see the Sears Tower
(here in Chicago) from your front yard or your bedroom window;

-- the shadow of the Earth, falling across the moon, would be some times
circular, some times elliptical, and some times straight, instead of always
circular every time;

-- when you're on the beach, watching a ship sail away from you,
it would just get smaller and smaller and smaller as it got farther
and farther and farther from you; you would never see any of it
disappear, instead of seeing it disappear from the bottom up
the way it actually does.

Lots and lots of other things would also look different and happen
different from the way they actually do look and happen now.

A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.75 ms2.75 ms from an init
kumpel [21]

Answer:

2677.3 N

Explanation:

v₀ = initial speed of the hand = 4.75 m/s

v  = final speed of the hand = 0 m/s

m = Total mass of hand and forearm = 1.55 kg

t = time interval for hand to come to rest = 2.75 ms = 0.00275 s

F = Force applied on the leg

Using Impulse-change in momentum equation

F t = m (v - v₀)

F (0.00275) = (1.55) (0 - 4.75)

F = - 2677.3 N

magnitude of force = 2677.3 N

Acceleration is positive when you are speeding up.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B Negative

Explanation:

Its negative because when your going 25 mph your moving faster and when your coming up to the stop sign you will start to slow down going 10 mph then 0 mph when you reach the stop sign so it will be negative.

Force due to gravity. While JWST is in orbit, the Earth will be at a distance of 1.494 x 109 m from the telescope, and the Sun w
Alona [7]

Answer:

the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun is 37.785 Newton { leftward }

Explanation:

Given that;

distance of earth from the telescope r1 = 1.494 × 10⁹ m

and the Sun will be 1.49598 × 10¹¹ m further away

so r2 = r1 + 1.49598 × 10¹¹

r2 = 1.494 × 10⁹ m + 1.49598 × 10¹¹ m = 1.51092 × 10¹¹ m

mass of sun Ms = 1.9884 × 10³⁰ kg

mass of earth Me = 5.945× 10²⁴ kg

mass of JWST Mj = 6500 kg

What is the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun (strength and direction)?

the gravitational force of the sun will be attractive based on Newton law of gravitational force; so

Fjs = GMjMs / r2²

constant G = 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Force on the JWST by the sun will be;

Fjs = GMjMs / r2² { leftward}

we substitute

Fjs = [(6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(6500 kg )(1.9884 × 10³⁰ kg)] / (1.51092 × 10¹¹ m)²

=  (8.62587804 × 10²³) / ( 2.28287925 × 10²² )

= 37.785 Newton { leftward }

Therefore, the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun is 37.785 Newton { leftward }

salantis [7]

Answer:

A. Time Division multiple Access (TDMA)

Explanation:

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks

It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot.
