a. This velocity in kilometers per hour is 1674 km/h

b. This velocity in kilometers per day is 40176 km/day

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

If earth rotates with a velocity of about 465 m/s at the equator , then it means that earth covers 465 metres in 1 second.

465 metres = 465 / 1000 kilometres = 0.465 kilometres

1 hour = 3600 seconds → 1 second = 1 / 3600 hour

1 day = 24 hours = 86400 seconds → 1 second =  1 / 86400 hour

The velocity in kilometres per hour can be calculated as following:

velocity = 465 ~ m \div 1 ~ s

velocity = 0.465 ~ km \div \frac{1}{3600} ~ h

velocity = 0.465 \div \frac{1}{3600} ~ km/h

velocity = 0.465 \times 3600 ~ km/h

\boxed {velocity = 1674 ~ km/h}

The velocity in kilometres per day can be calculated as following:

velocity = 465 ~ m \div 1 ~ s

velocity = 0.465 ~ km \div \frac{1}{86400} ~ day

velocity = 0.465 \div \frac{1}{86400} ~ km/day

velocity = 0.465 \times 86400 ~ km/day

\boxed {velocity = 40176 ~ km/day}

<h2>→ 465 m/s = 1674 km/h = 40176 km/day</h2>

The given velocity is 465 m/s.

Part a.
465 \,  \frac{m}{s} =(465 \times 10^{-3} \,  \frac{km}{s})*( 3600 \,  \frac{s}{h} ) = 1674 \,  \frac{km}{h}
Answer: 1674 km/h

Part b.
1674  \frac{km}{h} = (1674 \,  \frac{km}{h})*(24 \,  \frac{h}{day}  ) = 40176 \,  \frac{km}{day}
Answer: 40,176 km/day.

What structure on the south african coast has a range of 63 km and releases flashes every 30 seconds?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Cape Point lighthouse

Explanation:

The lighthouse is located South of Cape Town, at a point where boats turn to go around the tip of Africa.

The new lighthouse has the most powerful light of all the lighthouses in South Africa, with a power of 10 megacandelas.  That's why it's being visible for up to 63 km around.

It's a very important lighthouse helping to conduct the traffic around dangerous waters where 2 oceans meet.

What kinds of space and matter can light travel through
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Light travels as a wave. But unlike sound waves or water waves, it does not need any matter or material to carry its energy along. This means that light can travel through a vacuum—a completely airless space. (Sound, on the other hand, must travel through a solid, a liquid, or a gas.)
