The diameter of Earth (to two significant figures) is 7900 miles. Calculate its circumference.

Physics
1 answer:
Bess [88]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The circumference of the Earth is 24818.58 miles

Explanation:

Analysis conceptual : The formula of the circumference is the following:

L= π*D Formula (1)

Where:

L : is the length of the circumference in miles (mi)

π : is the constant

D : is the diameter of the circumference in miles (mi)

Known data

π = 3.1416

D= 7900 miles:  Diameter of the Earth

Problem development

We apply the formula 1 to calculate the circumference of the Earth  (L):

L= π*7900 miles

L= 24818.58 miles

A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity" - a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)

Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:

v=\omega r(2)

Here \omega is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):

a_c=\frac{(\omega r)^2}{r}\\\\a_c=\omega^2r

Recall that r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{200m}{2}=100m.

Solving for \omega:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_c}{r}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{100m}}\\\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}

Carol drops a stone in a mine shaft 122.5 metres deep.How
Verizon [17]

Answer:

 T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

given,

depth of the mine shaft = 122.5 m

speed of the sound = 340 m/s

time taken  = ?

time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom

using equation of motion

s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 122.5}{9.8}}

       t = 5 s

time taken by the sound to travel

    d =v x t

 t = \dfrac{d}{v}

 t = \dfrac{122.5}{340}

    t = 0.36 s

total time taken for the sound to reach carol after dropping the stone

T = 5 + 0.36

 T = 5.36 s
