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

Christian made some pancakes she's so 3/5 of them in the morning and 1/4 of the remainder in the afternoon is she had 300 pancak
DiKsa [7]

Christian made 1000 pancakes.

Explanation:

Let us represent the total amount of Pancake made by Christian as = K

    From the problem;

 Christian ate \frac{3}{5} of the pancake in the morning =  \frac{3}{5}  * K =  \frac{3}{5} K

We know that Christian cannot eat her pancake and at the same time have it, the  remaining pancake will then be:

        total amount of cake - fraction eaten

Remainder = K -  \frac{3}{5} K=  \frac{2}{5} K

   

In the afternoon, we know that she ate 1/4 of the remaining cake:

        \frac{1}{5} K*  \frac{2}{5} K = \frac{1}{10} K

 The remaining cake in the afternoon will be:

    Total amount of cake remaining from morning - amount eaten in the afternoon

    =    \frac{2}{5} K -  \frac{1}{10} K

    =    \frac{3}{10} K

The fraction of the cake remaining in the afternoon is  \frac{3}{10} K

Since she had 300cakes left in the afternoon, then :

            \frac{3}{10} K= 300

                    K = 1000 pancakes

Therefore Christian made 1000 pancakes.

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu
solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is  

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

the height of seven falls in colorado is 5/2 the height of twin falls in idahi. the sum of the two heights is 420 ft. find the h
Masja [62]
Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft
