1. Velocity and 2. Acceleration
Answer:
97.03%
Explanation:
The equation for volumetric expansion due to thermal expansion is as follows
V/Vo=(1+γΔT)
V=final volume
Vo=initial volume
γ=coefficient of volume expansion=3.2 × 10–5 K–1
ΔT=
temperature difference
assuming that the earth is a sphere the volume is given by
V=(4/3)pi R^3
if we find the relationship between the initial and final volume we have the following

taking into account the previous equation
r/ro=(1+γΔT)^(1/3)
r/r0=(1-3.2x10-5(3000-300))^(1/3)=
r/ro=0.9703=97.03%
Answer:
175s
Explanation:
time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in vacuum
C=light speed=299792458m/s
X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m
c=X/t
T1=X/c
T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s
time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in water:
First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index
Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s
T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s
additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth
ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s
