The mathematical description that fits to find the circumference of a circle (Approximation we will make to the earth considering it Uniform) is,

$\phi = 2\pi r$

Here,

r = Radius

The radius of the earth is 6378.01 km or 6378010m

Replacing we have that the circumference of the Earth is

$\phi = 2\pi (6378010m)$

$\phi = 40074000 m$

$\phi = 40074*10^3 m$

Therefore the circumference of the Earth in m with 5 significant figures is $40074*10^3 m$ and using only trailing zeros the answer will be $40074000m$

Answer:

d= 794.4 cmExplanation:

Given that

Speed ,V= 286 km/h

$=286\times \dfrac{1000}{3600}\ m/s$

V=79.44 m/s

Given that time ,t= 100 ms

t= 0.1 s

We know that ( if acceleration is zero)

Distance = Speed x time

d= V t

Now by putting the values in the above equation

d = 79.44 x 0.1 m

d= 7.944 m

We know that 1 m = 100 cm

d= 794.4 cm

A cosmic ray (an electron or nucleus moving ar speeds close to the speed of light) travels across the Milky Way at a speed of 0.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Cosmic ray's frame of reference: 99,875 years

Stationary frame of reference: 501,891 years

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the distance from parsec into metres:

$d=30,000 pc =9.26\cdot 10^{20} m$

The speed of the cosmic ray is

$v=0.98 c$

where

$c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light. Substituting,

$v=(0.98)(3.0\cdot 10^8)=2.94\cdot 10^8 m/s$

And so, the time taken to complete the journey in the cosmic's ray frame of reference (called proper time) is:

$T_0 = \frac{d}{v}=\frac{9.26\cdot 10^{20}}{2.94\cdot 10^8}=3.15\cdot 10^{12} s$

Converting into years,

$T_0 = \frac{3.15\cdot 10^{12}}{(365\cdot 24\cdot 60 \cdot 60}=99,875 years$

Instead, the time elapsed in the stationary frame of reference is given by Lorentz transformation:

$T=\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c^2})^2}}$

And substituting v = 0.98c, we find:

$T=\frac{99,875}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.98c}{c})^2}}=501,891 years$

Yamin is running 50 feet of No. 14 wire (with a cross section of 4,110 cmils) to a load that draws current of 11 amps. What appr

castortr0y [4]

Resistance per 1000 feet for gauge 14 wire is given as

R = 2.525 ohm

now if wire is of length 50 feet only then the resistance is given as

$R = \frac{2.525}{1000}\times 50$

$R = 0.126 ohm$

now if 11 A current flows through the wire then the voltage drop is given by ohm's law

$V = iR$

$V = 11 \times 0.126$

$V = 1.4 Volts$

so most appropriate answer in given options is

A. 1.8 Volts

Which force is always directed toward the center of a circle?

vova2212 [387]

The answer is D. centripetal force
This definition of centripetal force is a force acting towards the center of an object moving in a circular motion. Acceleration is the rate of which velocity changes over a period of time. If you pick a point on say a rotating circle and find the tangential velocity at each point it goes through, the acceleration would be towards the middle.
