The earth rotates once per day about its axis. where would you have to stand in order to have the smallest tangential speed?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>The earth as a whole rotates with a fixed angular velocity. Therefore, you need to be at the rotation axis to have the smallest tangential speed. This would be at the north or south pole.</span>

Student swings a small rubber stopper attached to a string over her head in a horizontal, circular path. The string is 1.50 mete

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

v = 18.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the string, r = 1.5 m (it will act as radius)

The rubber stopper makes 120 complete circles every minute.

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

It means, its frequency is 2 circles every second.

Let we need to find the average speed of the rubber stopper. It can be calculated as follows :

$v=\dfrac{d}{T}$

d is distance, $d=2\pi r$ and 1/T = f (frequency)

$v=2\pi rf\\\\=2\pi \times 1.5\times 2\\\\=18.84\ m/s$

So, the average speed of the rubber stopper is 18.84 m/s.

Compute the work performed when 32 pounds is lifted 10 feet.

Murljashka [212]

W = force * displacement
W = 32 pounds * 10 feet
Now you need to convert it to newton and meters
W = 142 N * 3.048 m = 434 J
(I approximated the conversions- I hope it helps)

C. turtles with genes for long necks had a better chance of surviving to reach reproductive age.

Explanation:

The turtles that had long necks were more fit to the environmnet in which they were lovated and were able to grow larger and have more reproductive time because of their ability to feed on grass and small shrubs, this helped them always haev food available, and made them the dominant gene eventually.
