As denizens of the surface of a spinning planet, we are always in uniform circular motion. Imagine you are in Nairobi (on the Ea

rth's equator) at noon on a Monday. Answer the following questions only considering the rotation of the earth and NOT the Earth's circular motion around the sun. The radius of the earth is 6371 km. A day is 24 hours.
Assuming that you are at at theta = 0 rad at noon on Monday and moving in the positive direction, what is your position theta in rad on Tuesday at 11:00 am?

Answer:

6.02 radian

Explanation:

At 12 noon position is zero radian on Monday

at 12 midnight the position is π/2

at 11 am position on Tuesday is 2π/24 x 23 ( after 23 hours ) = 6..02 radian.

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts
expeople1 [14]

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts moving the ball moves toward the back of the train. This happened due to inertia

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion unless a net external force acts on it .  

When a train starts moving forward, the ball placed on the floor  tends to fall backward is an example of inertia of rest. Due to the reason that the lower part of the ball is in contact with the surface and rest of the part is not . As the train starts moving, its lower part gets the motion as the floor starts moving but the upper part will remain as it is as it is not in contact with the floor , hence do not attain any motion due to the inertia of rest simultaneously i.e. it tends to remain at the same place.

How is light described?
Lelu [443]

Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.

A major contribution of Johannes Kepler to the development of modern astronomy was:________.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is  planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas          

   during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer

Born: 27 December 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany

Died: 15 November 1630

pls help quick. the number line shows the starting and ending velocities for ball 1 what's the change in velocity of ball 1 calc
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The starting velocity for ball 1 is 1.00 meter/second. Its ending velocity is 0.25 meter/second.

The change in velocity for ball 1 is 0.25 – 1.00 = -0.75 meter/seconds
