How long does it take for the speed of light and sound to travel around the world

Physics
1 answer:
irina [24]2 years ago
6 0

-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.

-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.

Under which condition would time periods of daylight and darkness be equal everywhere on Earth all year? A. if Earth revolved ar
Marizza181 [45]
The correct answer is
<span>B. if Earth rotated on an axis that was not tilted with respect to Earth's orbit 

In fact, the fact that Earth's axis is tilted is the reason why the durations of day and night are different in every part of the Earth. If the axis was not tilted, we would have exactly 12 hours of day and night in every point of the Earth, for the whole year.</span>

A 70.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35.0 m/s. Suppos
brilliants [131]

Answer:

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=70 kg ,u₁=0 m/s

m₂=0.15 kg ,u₂=35 m/s

Given that collision is elastic .We know that for elastic  collision

Lets take their final speed is v₁ and v₂

From momentum conservation

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=m₁v₁+m₂v₂

70 x 0+ 0.15 x 35 = 70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂

70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂=5.25                   --------1

v₂-v₁=u₁-u₂            ( e= 1)

v₂-v₁ = -35        --------2

By solving above equations

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28  103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

              ρ = m / V

              V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

            V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

             4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

             R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

              M = 5.5 Me

              R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

             ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

             ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

               R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

               R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

               R = 0.528 10⁷ m

               R = 0.528 104 km

               R = 5.28  103 km
