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

Physics

Fudgin [204]3 years ago

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

If the distance from a light source triples, how does light intensity change? The intensity will be 3x greater. The intensity wi
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The intensity will be 1/9 as much.

Explanation:

The intensity of the light or any source is inversely related to the square of the distance.

I\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Now according to the question the distance is increased by three times than,

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{r_{2}^{2} }

Therefore,

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{(3r_{1})^{2} }\\\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{1}{9} \\{I_{2}=\frac{1}{9}{I_{1} }

Therefore the intensity will become 1/9 times to the initial intensity.

Answer:

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and electrons, transfer disorganized microscopic kinetic and potential energy, when joined known as internal energy.

Which statements describe properties of stars? Check all that apply.
Shtirlitz [24]
One, three and five are correct.

Although if the second statement is saying that stars use gravitational force to support nuclear fusion which in turn produces energy then that would be correct, but I don’t think so :)
