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:

$velocity = 465 ~ m \div 1 ~ s$

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

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

$velocity = 0.465 \times 86400 ~ km/day$

$\boxed {velocity = 40176 ~ km/day}$

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.

A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 230 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles fre

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) vd = 47.88 m/s

b) θ = 80.9°

c) t = 6.8 s

Explanation:

In the situation of the problem, you can assume that the trajectory of the hawk and the trajectory of the mouse form a rectangle triangle.

One side of the triangle is the horizontal trajectory of the hawk after 2.00s of flight, the other side of the triangle is the distance traveled by the mouse when it is falling down. And the hypotenuse is the trajectory of the hawk when it is trying to recover the mouse.

(a) In order to calculate the diving speed of the hawk, you first calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

One side of the triangle is c1 = (18.0m/s)(2.0s) = 36m

The other side of the triangle is c2 = 230m - 3m = 227 m

Then, the hypotenuse is:

$h=\sqrt{(36m)^2+(227m)^2}=229.83m$ (1)

Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:

$y=y_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

yo: initial height = 230m

vo: initial vertical speed of the mouse = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = -9.8m/s^2

y: final height of the mouse = 3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in (2) and solve for t:

$3=230-4.9t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{227}{4.9}}=6.8s$

The hawk traveled during 2.00 second in the horizontal trajectory, hence, the hawk needed 6.8s - 2.0s = 4.8 s to travel the distance equivalent to the hypotenuse to catch the mouse.

You use the value of h and 4.8s to find the diving speed of the hawk:

$v_d=\frac{229.83m}{4.8s}=47.88\frac{m}{s}$

The diving speed of the Hawk is 47.88m/s

(b) The angle is given by:

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{c_1}{h})=cos^{-1}(\frac{36m}{229.83m})=80.9 \°$

Then angle between the horizontal and the trajectory of the Hawk when it is descending is 80.9°

(c) The mouse is falling down during 6.8 s

With a force of 5 newtons, Amanda pushes the stack of books to the right. At the same time, Jeremy, her little brother, pushes t

Vaselesa [24]

Its letter C. 5N to the left. Since Jeremy's force in Newtons are higher than Amanda's (in newtons), and since Jeremy's force directs to the left, then the direction of the force will be to the LEFT. Then subtract the higher one to the lower one so that would be: 10N-5N=5N. So it is C. 5N to the left.

List 5 differences between a compound and an element.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1.An element consists of the same kind of atoms while a compound is composed of different kinds of atoms.

2.A monoatomic element cannot be split up physically or chemically but a compound can be split up into new substances by chemical means.

3.Only limited number of elements are known in an element whiles number of known compounds are quite large.

4.The property of an element is the property of the atom whiles the property of a compound is quite different from that of it's constituents.

5 . Elements are represented by symbols and numbers.for example Sodium is represented by Na whiles compounds are represented by their chemical formula.for example,Salt is represented by the formula NaCl.

Explain why we have seasons on earth?

It’s because of the tilt of the earth’s axis, it means that w he n the earth leans towards the sun it’s summer, when it leans away from the sun it’s winter and in between the 2 spring and autumn (fall) occur.
