Answer: 1037 miles per hour
Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.
Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,
Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by
Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.
The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.
You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.
Answer:
18.03 s
Explanation:
We have two different types of motions, the criminal moves with uniform motion while the police do it with uniformly accelerated motion. Therefore we will use the equations of these cases. We know that by the time the police reach the criminal they will have traveled the same distance.
The distance between the police and the criminal when the first one starts the persecution is 0, its initial speed is also zero. So:
Equalizing these two equations and solving for t:
