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

cestrela7 [59]

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:

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

What happens in a tug of war if the net forces are balanced and why?

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Balanced forces are responsible for unchanging motion. Balanced forces are forces where the effect of one force is cancelled out by another. A tug of war, where each team is pulling equally on the rope, is an example of balanced forces. The forces exerted on the rope are equal in size and opposite in direction.

A train traveling at 25 m/s is blowing its whistle at 440 Hz as it crosses a level crossing. You are waiting at the crossing and

ohaa [14]

Answer:

b) 472HZ, 408HZ

Explanation:

To find the frequencies perceived when the bus approaches and the train departs, you use the Doppler's effect formula for both cases:

$f_o=f\frac{v_s+v_o}{v_s-v}\\\\f_o=f'\frac{v_s-v_o}{v_s+v}\\\\$

fo: frequency of the source = 440Hz

vs: speed of sound = 343m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 0m/s (at rest)

v: sped of the train

f: frequency perceived when the train leaves us.

f': frequency when the train is getTing closer.

Thus, by doing f and f' the subjects of the formulas and replacing the values of v, vo, vs and fo you obtain:

$f=f_o\frac{v_s-v}{v_s+v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s-25m/s}{340m/s}=408Hz\\\\f'=f_o\frac{v_s+v}{v_s-v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s+25m/s}{340m/s}=472Hz$

hence, the frequencies for before and after tha train has past are

b) 472HZ, 408HZ

How can you use the movement of molecules to determine when a phase change has occurred?

baherus [9]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

1. 2+0.5+2.5= 3. 2km/hr average

2. 14-6=4seconds. 8m/s in 4s = 2m/s acceleration

3. 15m/s divided by 2.5 = 6m/s acceleration
