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.

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane
madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

When a certain rubber band is stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude f = ax, where a is a constant. th
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a =  constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2}  [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} =  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Answer:  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

The diagram shows the movement of air as a result of convection currents. At which point is the air at its highest density?
stellarik [79]

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object.  The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal.  We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.  Heat is energy on the move.  

Units of heat are units of energy.  The SI unit of energy is Joule.  Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object.  Two objects of different temperature always interact.  There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another.  They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

A small child has a wagon with a mass of 10 kilograms. The child pulls on the wagon with a force of
Sholpan [36]
F=ma
where:
F - force
m - mass
a - acceleration 

We transform this formula to get a:
a= \frac{F}{m}
a=\frac{2}{10}\frac{N}{kg}=0.2\frac{m}{s^{2}}
