Assume that the equator of the Earth is 24,000 miles long (that’s its circumference). Now, pretend that you are standing somewhe

re on the equator, such as in the country of Ecuador. Now, if the Earth turns once, completely, in 24 hours, then, how fast would you be going (in miles per hour), even if you just stood still?

Answer:

1000 mph

Explanation:

P = Perimeter = 24000 mi

r = Radius of the equator

t = Time taken to complete one rotation = 24 h

Perimeter of a circle is given by

P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\ mi

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{t}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{24}

Velocity if given by

v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\times \dfrac{2\pi}{24}\\\Rightarrow v=1000\ mph

The person would be going at a speed of 1000 mph

Calculate the final speed of a 110-kg rugby player who is initially running at 8.00 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalp
Contact [7]
<span>The answer is -0.8 m/s. We know acceleration is the average of final minus initial velocity over time (a = (vf-v0)/t). We also know that Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration (F = ma). Using our force equation, we know that the acceleration we get is negative 8.8 (-8.8). The force is acting in the opposite direction of the rugby player, hence the negative sign. From there, plug in that number for a in the velocity equation, and solve for vf, as v0 and t are known. We get 0.8 m/s in the opposite direction that the player was running.</span>

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ???? 0 ν0 . Find the mi
Allisa [31]

Answer:

<h2>E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules</h2>

Explanation:

The minimum energy needed to eject electrons from a metal with a threshold frequency fo is expressed as E = hfo

h = planck's constant

fo = threshold frequency

Given the threshold frequency fo = 4.23×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

h = 6.626× 10⁻³⁴ m² kg / s

Substituting this value into the formula to get the energy E

E = 4.23×10¹⁴ *  6.626 × 10⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10¹⁴⁻³⁴

E = 28.028*10⁻²⁰

E = 2.8028*10⁻¹⁹ Joules
