Answer: It would destroy the Earth's surface.

I remember reading this questions in What If? by Randall Munroe. Great book, I suggest you check it out. Anyway, the answer. The Earth is revolving as well as spinning on its axis at the same time. This basically means that thee atmosphere is also spinning at the same speed. But due to the frame of reference, we don't notice anything. If the Earth suddenly stops spinning, then the atmosphere, going according to the first law of motion will still be spinning at the same speed. This would produce supersonic winds at such a scale that it will be compared to an atomic explosion. Anything not in a nuclear bunker will probably be ripped apart by the force of the wind.

A. How far does a 100-newton force have to move to do 1,000 joules

Aloiza [94]

Work done by a force is given as the product of force and the distance moved by the force.

Work done is the product of force and the distance moved by the the force.

Work done = Force × distance

Thus, distance required by the 100 N force is given as:

Distance = work done/force

Distance = 1000/100 = 10 m

Distance to be moved is 10 m.

Force applied = work done/ distance

Force applied by the hoist = 500/2

Force applied by the hoist = 250 N

Distance moved in one push-up = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete after one push-up = 250 × 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete = 62.5 J

Distance moved by the force = 0 m

Work done = 500 × 0 = 0 N

Therefore, for work to be done, force has to move a distance.

Vector a has a magnitude of 12.3 units and points due west. vector b points due north. what is the magnitude of b if a - b has a

algol [13]

The magnitude of vector b is 8.58 Unit.

Since both the vectors a and b are perpendicular to each other, so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the magnitude of the vector b.

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2

15^2=12.3^2-b^2

b=8.58 unit

Therefor the magnitude of the vector b is 8.58 unit.

Two vectors A and B are at right angles to each other. The magnitude of A is 3.00. What should be the length of B, so that the m

AfilCa [17]

Answer: length of B =4.00

Explanation:

for the vectors A and B and the angle between them as x.

Magnitude of the sum of A and B is given as = √(A²+B²+2ABcosx

where

Magnitude of A = 3.00

Magnitude of the sum of A and B is 5.00

5.00=√(A²+B²+2ABcos90°

5.00= √3² +b² +0

5²= 3² +b²

25=9+b²

b²= 25-9

b² = 16

b= √16

b= 4
