The earth rotates once per day about an axis passing through the north and south poles. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: False.

Explanation: The Earth rotates once per day in direction from East to West. The rotation of the Earth daily is responsible for day and night experienced, the areas of the Earth facing the Sun experiences day time while the areas of the Earth away from the Sun in the Earth's shadow experiences night time.

While the revolution of the Earth around the gives rise to a year, as it takes 365 days for the Earth to go round the sun.

The electric field in a particular thundercloud is 3.8 x 105 N/C. What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of an electron in this fiel
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Answer:

6.68 x 10^16 m/s^2

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 3.8 x 10^5 N/C

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

Let a be the acceleration of the electron.

The force due to electric field on electron is

F = q E

where q be the charge of electron and E be the electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 3.8 x 10^5

F = 6.08 x 10^-14 N

According to Newton's second law

Force  = mass x acceleration

6.08 x 10^-14 = 9.1 x 10^-31 x a

a = 6.68 x 10^16 m/s^2

Willie, in a 100.0 m race, initially accelerates uniformly from rest at 2.00 m/s2 until reaching his top speed of 12.0 m/s. He m
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The total time for the race is 11.6 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Total distance ran by Willie = 100.0 m

Initial acceleration = 2.00m/s²

Top speed reached with initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

Point where Willie start to fade and decelerate = 16.0 m from the finish line

Speed with which Willie crosses the finish line = 8.00 m/s

The time and distance covered with the initial acceleration are found using the following equations of motion;

v = u₀ + a·t

v² = u₀² + 2·a·s

Where:

v = Final velocity reached with the initial acceleration = 12.0 m/s

u₀ = Initial velocity at the start of the race = 0 m/s

t = Time during acceleration

a = Initial acceleration = 2.00 m/s²

s = Distance covered during the period of initial acceleration

From, v = u₀ + a·t, we have;

12 = 0 + 2×t

t = 12/2 = 6 seconds

From, v² = u₀² + 2·a·s, we have;

12² = 0² + 2×2×s

144 = 4×s

s = 144/4 =36 meters

Given that the Willie maintained the top speed of 12.0 m/s until he was 16.0 m from the finish line, we have;

Distance covered at top speed = 100 - 36 - 16 = 48 meters

Time, t_t of running at top speed = Distance/velocity = 48/12 = 4 seconds

The deceleration from top speed to crossing the line is found as follows;

v₁² = u₁² + 2·a₁·s₁

Where:

u₁ = v = 12 m/s

v₁ = The speed with which Willie crosses the line = 8.00 m/s

s₁ = Distance covered during decelerating = 16.0 m

a₁ = Deceleration

From which we have;

8² = 12² + 2 × a × 16

64 = 144 + 32·a

64 - 144 = 32·a

32·a = -80

a = -80/32 = -2.5 m/s²

From, v₁ = u₁ + a₁·t₁

Where:

t₁ = Time of deceleration

We have;

8 = 12 + (-2.5)·t₁

t₁ = (8 - 12)/(-2.5) = 1.6 seconds

The total time = t + t_t + t₁ =6 + 4 + 1.6 = 11.6 seconds.

A fan at a rock concert is 50.0 m from the stage, and at this point the sound intensity level is 114 dB. Sound is detected when
Marianna [84]

Answer:

A) P=13.92\ J.s^{-1}

B) v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}

C) v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}

D) mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.

Explanation:

Given:

  • Distance form the sound source, s=50\ m
  • sound intensity level at the given location, \beta=114\ dB
  • diameter of the eardrum membrane in humans, d=8.4 \times 10^{-3}\ m
  • We have the minimum detectable intensity to the human ears, I_0=10^{-12}\ W.m^{-2}

(A)

<u>Now the intensity of the sound at the given location is related mathematically as:</u>

\beta=10\ log(\frac{I}{I_0} ) ..........................................(1)

114=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )

11.4=log\ I+12\ log\ 10

I=0.2512\ W.m^{-2}

<em>As we know :</em>

I=\frac{P}{A}

0.2512=\frac{P}{\pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4} }

P=13.92\ J.s^{-1} is the energy transferred to the  eardrums per second.

(B)

mass of mosquito, m=2\times 10^{-6}\ kg

<u>Now the velocity of mosquito for the same kinetic energy:</u>

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

13.92=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2

v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}

(C)

Given:

  • Sound intensity, \beta = 20\ dB

<u>Using eq. (1)</u>

20=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )

2=log\ I+12\ log\ 10

I=10^{-10}\ W.m^{-2}

Now, power:

P=I.A

P=10^{-10}\times \pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4}

P=5.54\times 10^{-9}\ J.s^{-1}

Hence:

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

5.54\times 10^{-9}=0.5\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2

v=0.07444\ m.s^{-1}

v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}

(D)

mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.

Need an answer, please need an answer, please​
Karolina [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • moderate low: 82
  • moderate high: 112.75
  • vigorous low: 123
  • vigorous high: 174.25

Explanation:

When calculations are repetitive, I find it convenient to use a calculator that can work with tables.

The PMHR is (220 -15) = 205.

Each of the other heart rates is computed as the formula shows. For example, the low moderate heart rate is 205×0.40 = <u> 82 </u> bpm

The other rates are shown in the attached table. They are computed the same way.
