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

A 65kg person throw a 0.045kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60kg, catches the s
Kobotan [32]
Well, st first we should find <span>initial momentum for the first person represented in the task which definitely must be :
</span>(65+0.045)*2.5
And then we find the final one :  65*x + 0.045*30
Then equate them together : x=2.48 m/s 
So we can get the velocity, which is is 2.48 m/s
In that way, according to the main rules of <span>conservation of momentum you can easily find the solution for the second person.

The colors you see during a sunset are caused by _____. the refraction of light by the atmosphere the absorption of light by the
love history [14]

Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere

Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.

Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.
