The speed of the earth's surface located at 2/3 of the length of the arc between the pole which measure from the equator is 232.5 m/s.

Solution:
So the givens are, earth's radius = 6.37X10^6m, and the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees. So 60 degrees is the 2/3.

r = 6.37x10^6 * cos(60) = 3.185x10^6m
since v = wr
v = 7.3x10^-5 * 3.185x10^6

v - 232.5 m/s

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The answer for this is Green Rectangle.

Explanation:

The hue after effects theory suggests that as you glance away at a white background, you can see a <em>Green Rectangle</em> after looking at a bright red rectangle for a period of time.

All this is an after-image consequence. Afterimage is a form of optical illusion in which, even after exposure to the original image has ended, an picture appears to appear momentarily.
