Estimate the number of times the earth will rotate on its axis during a human’s lifetime

Physics
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago
7 0

Here we have to calculate  the number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the entire life time of a human being.

The average human life is 50 years .

Each year is 365.5 days

Hence 50 years =50 *365.5 days

                 =18,275 days

The earth rotates around its own axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 second which is approximately equal to 24 hours or one days.

Hence one rotation takes one days.

⇒18,275 days =18,275 rotations

Hence the total number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the life time of a average human life time will be 18,275 times

A ball thrown horizontally at vi = 30.0 m/s travels a horizontal distance of d = 55.0 m before hitting the ground. from what hei
tekilochka [14]
Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

Let
x =  angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity

The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x)  s

With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
 55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°

The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s

If t = 5.8096 s,
  u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
 u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)

Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s

The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m

Answer: h = 110.4 m

in positive numbers less than 1, the zeros between the decimal point and a non-zero number are _______ significant?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a number of less than 1, then the number has a decimal point like

0.085, 0.008 e.t.c.

The zeros before the none zero digit are insignificant. The significant figure is 8 and 5.

But if there a zero between the none zero e.g. 0.0087056

Here the zero between 7 and 5 is significant, then the significant numbers are 8,7,0,5,6

But if the zero is not in between the none zero digit, then the zero is insignificant

E.g 0.05800

The last two zero is insignificant, the significant number is 5 and 8

So, If a positive numbers less than 1, the zeros between the decimal point and a non-zero number are NOT significant.

Min is asked to balance the equation below.
Minchanka [31]
It is incorrect, because the identity of the original product has changed. Ca3(OH)2 does not exist! It is no longer calcium hydroxide. To balance an equation, you must manipulate the coefficients, a.k.a. the big numbers that go before reactants or products. Subscripts, the little numbers inside the reactants or products, cannot be changed without completely changing the substance.

if you push a small act with 7,000 N force and push a heavy truck with the same force, which one will have a greater acceleratio
inn [45]

Answer:

the small one will have greater acceleration

Explanation:

force and mass are inversely proportional. force and acceleration are directly proportional. which means greater mass have smaller acceleration and smaller mass has greater acceleration. this is due to newtons second law of motion.
