Answer:

Earth's spin on its axis causes the equator to bulge

Explanation:

The Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate ellipsoid. The force that holds a planet is gravity. The Earth is rotating on its axis at a speed of 460 m/s at the equator. Due to this reason there is a build up of centrifugal force on the Earth which causes it to expand giving it a bulge.

The Sun and the Moon's gravity causes waves on the surface of large water bodies.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(a): The car's relative position to the base of the cliff is x= 32.52m.

(b): The lenght of the car in the ir is tfall= 1.78 sec.

Explanation:

Vo= 0

V= ?

d= 50m

h= 30m

a= 4 m/s²

t= √(2*d/a)

t= 5 sec

V= a*t

V= 20 m/s

Vx= V * cos(24º)

Vx= 18.27 m/s

Vy= V* sin(24º)

Vy= 8.13 m/s

h= Vy*t + g*t²/2

clearing t:

tfall= 1.78 sec (b)

x= Vx * tfall

x= 32.52 m (a)
