337493603.8m/s²

Explanation:

Radius of the earth = 6.38 x 10¹⁶m

time = 24hr (86400s)

Unknown:

Centripetal acceleration = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is directed inward to keep the body from falling off the surface of the earth.

centripetal acceleration = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

where v is the velocity and r is the radius

also;

v = wr

where w is the angular velocity

substituting in the equation for centripetal acceleration gives;

a = w²r

also w = $\frac{2 x pi}{T}$

therefore;

a = $\frac{4 \pi ^{2} r }{T^{2} }$

a = $\frac{ 4 x 3.142^{2} x 6.38 x 10^{16} }{86400^{2} }$

a = 337493603.8m/s²

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

$B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}$

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

$F_{2}=I_2lB_1$

$F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

$F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$ According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

$F_2=-F_1$

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.

vekshin1

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$

where D = 100, 000 ly

Let's divide the Area by the number of civilization; if we do that ; we will be able to get 'n' disk that is randomly distributed; so ;

$d= \frac{A}{N} =\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$

The distance between each disk is further calculated by finding the radius of the density which is shown as follows:

$d = \pi r^2 e$

$r^2_e= \frac{d}{\pi}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{d}{\pi} }$

replacing d = $\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$ in the equation above; we have:

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}{\pi} }$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{100,000}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = 500 ly$

The distance (s) between each civilization = $2(r_e)$

= 2 (500 ly)

= 1000 light-years (ly)
