Answer:

The length of the solar day will get shorter.

Explanation:

  • The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
  • Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
  • If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.

How much time would it take a ball to roll 20 yards if it is rolling 4yds/min?
LekaFEV [45]

speed rate = 4 yards per minute (yds/min)

Distance = 20 yards

time = t

Apply the formula:

time = Distance / speed rate

Replacing:

Time = 20 yards / 4 yds/min = 5 minutes

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

v = 69.82 ms^-1

Explanation:

As we know,

R = vi2 sin2Ꝋ / g  

vi2 =R g / sin2 Ꝋ where R is range R = 52m, Ꝋ = 3 Degrees

vi2 = 52 x 9.8 / sin 2(3) = 4875.227

v = 69.82 ms^-1
