Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, so that objects on its surface execute uniform circular motion about the axis wit

h a period of 24 hours. Consider only the effect of this rotation on the person on the surface. (Ignore Earth's orbital motion about the Sun.) (a) What is the speed and what is the magnitude of the acceleration of a person standing on the equator?

Answer:

v=1667.9km/h

a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth C=2\pi R, where R=6371km is the radius of the Earth.

We have then:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi R}{t}=\frac{2\pi (6371km)}{(24h)}=1667.9km/h

And then we use the centripetal acceleration formula:

a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{(1667.9km/h)^2}{(6371km)}=436.6km/h^2

djyliett [7]
<span>The question is what do all types of waves transfer. Waves, both mechanical and electromagnetic are disturbances that transfer energy without transporting matter. It doesnt matter wether they are propagating trough a medium or trough vacuum. Therefore the correct answer is A. energy.</span>

Permanent magnet. An induced magnet would be created when a piece of iron (for example) is in contact with a magnet. Temporary magnets would be something like an electromagnet. Bar magnets are permanently magnetic unless we heat them or hammer them to cause their domains to loose alignment.

A car is accelerated from 40 m/s to 48 m/s in 6.5 seconds. What is the magnitude of the car’s
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

AVerage acceleration is the cjange in velocity with time

a = v-u/t

v is the final velocity = 48m/s

u is the initial velocity = 40m/s

t is the time = 6.5s

a = 48-40/6.5

a = 8/6.5

a = 1.23m/s²

Hence the magnitude of the car’s  average acceleration during this period is 1.23m/s²
