A rotating beacon is located 1 kilometer off a straight shoreline. If the beacon rotates at a rate of 3 revolutions per minute,
how fast (in kilometers per hour) does the beam of light appear to be moving to a viewer who is 1/2 kilometer down the shoreline?
1 answer:
Find the radius of the circle by finding the distance between the viewer and the beacon.
then find the circumference by using 2πr2
this will be the distance the light covers over 1 revolution.
then using dimensional analysis:
3 rev/min (7.037 km/rev) (60 min/1 hr) = 1266.7 km/hr

3 rolls of carpet
the square footage of 40ft*60ft=2,400
well then you divide it and you would need 3 rolls because the answer is 2.6 and then you would just round up
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we cannot find the sum because it will continue on so the series is multiply by 4
