Step 1.

Calculate measure of angle α:

47^o-38^o=9^o

Step 2.

Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° ​​is the angle α:

\dfrac{9^o}{360^o}=\dfrac{1}{40}

Step 3.

Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):

C=2\pi r\to C=2\pi\cdot4000=8000\pi\ mi

Step 4.

The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:

\dfrac{1}{40}C=\dfrac{1}{40}\cdot8000\pi=200\pi\ mi

\pi\approx3.14\to\dfrac{1}{40}C\approx200\cdot3.14=628\ mi


<h3>Answer: A) 628 miles</h3>

If a wind turbine makes 76 full revolutions every 1 minute what is it’s angular speed?
Maslowich

Answer: 7.958 \frac{rad}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the wind turbine makes 76 revolutions in 1 minute. This means the angular speed \omega of the object in revolutions per minute (rpm) is:

\omega=76 rpm=76 \frac{rev}{min} (1)

However, we have to convert this to \frac{rad}{s}, since this is the unit used in the International Systme of Units for angular speed.

So, we can do this knowing that:

\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}  (2)

Where:

2 \pi=360\° is the value of one revolution

T=1 min=60 s is the period of rotation

With this information in mind, let's make the conversion:

\omega=76 \frac{rev}{min}. \frac{1 min}{60 s}. \frac{2 \pi}{1 rev} (3)

\omega=7.958 \frac{rad}{s} (4) This is the wind turbine angular speed

Help!!!! giving brainiest!!!

Hi there!

In order to find x, we'll need to create an expression. We know that angle x would be 180 - angle ABC - y. Since we know that angle ABC is equal to 30, we can substitute that in. This gives us 180 - 30 - y. Lastly, we can simplify to get our expression. The expression is 150 - y. The answer is the first option.

Hope this helps!! :)
