Answer:

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

latitude = 40 degree

to find out

Calculate the acceleration of a person

solution

we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad

acceleration of person = g - ω²R ...............1

and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree

here g is 9.81

so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × $10^{-5}$ rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 × $10^{6}$ m

put here value in equation 1 we get

acceleration of person = g - ω²R

acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × $10^{-5}$ )² × 6.37 × $10^{6}$

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.35 kg to a friend standing in front of him

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

a) $u_c=0\ m.s^{-1}$ & $m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta$

b) $v_c=0.0566\ m.s^{-1}$

c) $p_e=2.9218\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the book, $m_b=1.35\ kg$

combined mass of the student and the skateboard, $m_c=97\ kg$

initial velocity of the book, $v_b=4.61\ m.s^{-1}$

angle of projection of the book from the horizontal, $\theta=28^{\circ}$

velocity of the student before throwing the book:

Since the student is initially at rest and no net force acts on the student so it remains in rest according to the Newton's first law of motion.

$u_c=0\ m.s^{-1}$

where:

$u_c=$ initial velocity of the student

velocity of the student after throwing the book:

Since the student applies a force on the book while throwing it and the student standing on the skate will an elastic collision like situation on throwing the book.

$m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta$

where:

$v_c=$ final velcotiy of the student after throwing the book

$m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta$

$97\times v_c=1.35\times 4.61\cos28$

$v_c=0.0566\ m.s^{-1}$

Since there is no movement of the student in the vertical direction, so the total momentum transfer to the earth will be equal to the momentum of the book in vertical direction.

$p_e=m_b.v_b\sin\theta$

$p_e=1.35\times 4.61\times \sin28^{\circ}$

$p_e=2.9218\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

A rectangular barge, 5.2 m long and 2.4 m wide, floats in fresh water. Suppose that a 410-kg crate of auto parts is loaded onto

sesenic [268]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The depth of barge float=3 cm</h2><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Length of rectangular barge=5.2 m

Width of rectangular barge=2.4m

Mass of crate=410 kg

Let h be the height of barge float

Volume of barge float= $l\times b\times h=5.2\times 2.4\times h=12.48h$

Density of water= $10^3kg/m^3$

Weight of water displaced by barge=Buoyant force=-Weight of horse

$Volume\;of\;water\times density\;of\;water\times g=410\times g$

$12.48h\times 1000=410$

$h=\frac{410}{12.48\times 1000}=0.03 m$

1 m=100 cm

$0.03 m=0.03\times 100=3$ cm

Hence, the depth of barge float=3 cm

Why is evolution called a scientific theory?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. The fact that we need annual flu vaccines is one example of observable evolution. At the same time, evolutionary theory explains more than observations, as the succession on the fossil record. Hence, evolution is also the scientific theory that embodies biology, including all organisms and their characteristics. In this paper, we emphasize why evolution is the most important theory in biology. Evolution explains every biological detail, similar to how history explains many aspects of a current political situation. Only evolution explains the patterns observed in the fossil record. Examples include the succession in the fossil record; we cannot find the easily fossilized mammals before 300 million years ago; after the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fossil record indicates that mammals and birds radiated throughout the planet. Additionally, the fact that we are able to construct fairly consistent phylogenetic trees using distinct genetic markers in the genome is only explained by evolutionary theory. Finally, we show that the processes that drive evolution, both on short and long time scales, are observable facts.
