Calculate the earth's average speed relative to the sun.

Physics
1 answer:
Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
4 0

a).  The Earth travels around the sun in a path that's nearly a circle, with a radius of roughly 93 million miles.

The circumference of the circle is (2 · π · radius) = about  5.843 x 10⁸  miles.

Average Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

The time to cover the distance is 1 year.

Speed = (5.843 x 10⁸ mile/year) (year / 365 day) (day / 24 hour)

Speed = (5.843 x 10⁸ / 365·24) (mile · year · day / year · day · hour)

Average speed = 66,705 miles/hour .

b). The Earth's average velocity over a period of 1 year is zero.

Velocity = (displacement) / (time)

Displacement = (distance and direction between start-point and end-point). After one year, the Earth is located at the point where it started, so its displacement over the period of 1 year is zero.

James threw a ball vertically upward with a velocity of 41.67ms-1 and after 2 second David threw a ball vertically upward with a
Reptile [31]

Answer:

When have passed 3.9[s], since James threw the ball.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the ball thrown by James and we will find the final height and velocity by the time two seconds have passed.

We'll use the kinematics equations to find these two unknowns.

y=y_{0} +v_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\y= elevation [m]\\y_{0}=initial height [m]\\v_{0}= initial velocity [m/s] =41.67[m/s]\\t = time passed [s]\\g= gravity [m/s^2]=9.81[m/s^2]\\Now replacing:\\y=0+41.67 *(2)-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*(2)^{2} \\\\y=63.72[m]\\

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can find the velocity after 2 seconds.

v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t\\replacing:\\v_{f} =41.67-(9.81)*(2)\\\\v_{f}=22.05[m/s]

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can take these values calculated as initial values, taking into account that two seconds have already passed. In this way, we can find the time, through the equations of kinematics.

y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t-\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*t^{2} \\\\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-4.905*t^{2} \\

As we can see the equation is based on Time (t).

Now we can establish with the conditions of the ball launched by David a new equation for y (elevation) in function of t, then we match these equations and find time t

y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\v_{o} =55.56[m/s] = initial velocity\\y_{o} =0[m]\\now replacing\\63.72 +22.05 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} =0 +55.56 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} \\63.72 +22.05 *t =0 +55.56 *t\\63.72 = 33.51*t\\t=1.9[s]

Then the time when both balls are going to be the same height will be when 2 [s] plus 1.9 [s] have passed after David throws the ball.

Time = 2 + 1.9 = 3.9[s]

Assume that the home construction industry is perfectly competitive and in long-run competitive equilibrium. It follows that: A.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. Marginal cost equals long-run average total cost.

Explanation:

The zero profit condition implies that entry continues until all firms are producing at minimum long run average total cost. Since the marginal cost curve cuts the long run average total cost curve at its minimum point, marginal cost and long run average total cost must be equal in long run equilibrium.
