Answer:

A)

58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

84.00 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation ( 24 hours) the earth will rotate through  360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In one day or 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 290 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 290 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/290)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 290 = 58/3 = 19.33 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it will takes the Earth to rotate through 7π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 7π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/7π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*7π radians = 84 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920*3.142

                         = 24891.43 miles

Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;

(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr

The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;

1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles

A toy company had an order of five boxes to ship unfortunately this was 17 pounds over the shipping weight limit per order of ea
pochemuha

Answer:

28 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 5 boxes, now we know that each box weighs 9 pounds, therefore:

Total weight = 5 * 9 = 45 pounds

Which means there are 45 pounds in total.

We are told that the limit is exceeded by 17 pounds. To find the limit weight, it is necessary to subtract the total weight and the excess:

45-17 = 28 pounds

Therefore, the maximum weight allowed per shipment is 28 pounds.

PRE ALGEBRA / PLEASE HELP!!||| How many kilometers is it from the main gate to the Manatee Springs? (Hint: to convert from yards
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

  • 6.04 km (per angle marks)
  • 5.36 km (per side hash marks)

Step-by-step explanation:

Going by the angle indicators, the ratios of corresponding sides of the similar triangles are ...

  x/2000 = 4200/3500

  x = 2000·6/5 = 2400 . . . . yards

Then the distance of interest is ...

  (2400 yd + 4200 yd)×(0.0009144 km/yd) = 6.6×.9144 km

  = 6.03504 km ≈ 6.04 km

_____

Going by the red hash marks, the ratios of corresponding sides of the similar triangles are ...

  x/2000 = 3500/4200

  x = 2000·(5/6) = 5000/3 . . . . yards

Then the distance of interest is ...

  (5000/3 + 4200) yd × 0.0009144 km/yd ≈ 5.36 km

_____

<em>Comment on the figure</em>

The usual geometry here is that the outside legs (opposite the vertical angles) are parallel, meaning that the angle indicators are the correct marks. It is possible, but unusual, for the red hash marks to be correct and the angle indicators to be mismarked. The red hash marks seem tentatively drawn, so seem like they're more likely to be the incorrect marks.
