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

Rays traveling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a ray travelling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror then the light ray reflect out through the mirrors and passing through the focus.

When a light ray travelling through focus of a concave mirror then after reflection the light ray reflect out through the mirror and  go parallel to principle axis.

Therefore, rays travelling parallel to the principle axis of a  concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus.

It is true.

What happens when a sound wave passes from oil into air? A. the sound wave slows down and bounces back B. the sound wave slows d
Jlenok [28]

Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.

<h3><u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

The sound wave speeds up and bends

\Large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \bf{Option \: (D)}}}}}

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.

  • It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.
