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

Answer:

Isothermal :   P2 = ( P1V1 / V2 ) ,  work-done pdv = nRT * In( \frac{V2}{v1} )

Adiabatic : : P2 = \frac{P1V1^{\frac{5}{3} } }{V2^{\frac{5}{3} } }  , work-done =

W = (3/2)nR(T1V1^(2/3)/(V2^(2/3)) - T1)

Explanation:

initial temperature : T

Pressure : P

initial volume : V1

Final volume : V2

A) If expansion was isothermal calculate final pressure and work-done

we use the gas laws

= PIVI = P2V2

Hence : P2 = ( P1V1 / V2 )

work-done :

pdv = nRT * In( \frac{V2}{v1} )

B) If the expansion was Adiabatic show the Final pressure and work-done

final pressure

P1V1^y = P2V2^y

where y = 5/3

hence : P2 = \frac{P1V1^{\frac{5}{3} } }{V2^{\frac{5}{3} } }

Work-done

W = (3/2)nR(T1V1^(2/3)/(V2^(2/3)) - T1)

Where    T2 = T1V1^(2/3)/V2^(2/3)

The 4.5 cm long second hand on a watch rotates smoothly. What is its angular velocity? What is the speed of the tip of the hand?
Vlada [557]
Angular velocity means how many radians/degrees is this hand passing by every second.
First, you realize it goes through a whole revolution (2\pi in radians) in 60 seconds.
This means for every second, it passes by:
\frac{2 \pi }{60 s} = 0.105  \frac{rad}{sec}

For the next part, you need to know this equation:
Tangential velocity=Angular velocity x radius (meters)
velocity=0.105 \frac{rad}{sec} *0.045m
velocity=0.004725  \frac{meters}{sec}

Changes in color and temperature indicate that a ________ reaction has taken place. chemical physical
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Changes in color and temperature indicates a chemical reaction has taken place.

A chemical reaction involves two species combining to give a product. They are usually a product of chemical changes between two combining species.

In a chemical change;

  • New kinds of products are formed
  • There are heat changes accompanying such reactions.
  • We can have color changes but it is not all indicative.

What does activation energy has to do with a chemical reaction.
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

Activation energy and reaction rate

The activation energy of a chemical reaction is closely related to its rate. Specifically, the higher the activation energy, the slower the chemical reaction will be. ... The released energy helps other fuel molecules get over the energy barrier as well, leading to a chain reaction.

A rugby player passes the ball 7.88 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. (Assume the p
damaskus [11]

Explanation:

Given

Range of ball =7.88 m

Initial speed=13.1 m/s

and we know

Range of Projectile is

R=\frac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}

13.1=\frac{13.1^2\times sin2\theta }{9.8}

7.88\times 9.8=13.1^2\times sin2\theta

sin2\theta =0.4499

2\theta =26.74^{\circ}

\theta =13.37 ^{\circ}

(b)other angle would be complementary of \theta

=90-\theta =76.63 ^{\circ}
