Until 1883, every city and town in the United States kept its own local time. Today, travelers reset their watches only when the

time change equals 1.0 h. How far, on the average, must you travel in degrees of longitude until your watch must be reset by 9 hours? (Hint: Earth rotates 360° in about 24 h.)

Answer:

135° (degrees)

Explanation:

The Earth rotates 360° in about 24 h

How many degrees in 1 hour

360^{\circ}=24\ h\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=\frac{360}{24}\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=15^{\circ}

So, in 1 hour the Earth rotates 15 degrees. This means that a person would have to reset their watch by 1 hour after travelling 15 degrees

In 9 hours

9\ h=9\times 15^{\circ}=135^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow 9\ h=135^{\circ}

So, a person would have to travel 135 degrees in order to reset their watch by 9 hours.

andreyandreev [35.5K]
Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.


Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

Which type of energy is stored in a capacitor? electric potential energy chemical energy gravitational energy heat energy
Tom [10]

Energy stored in a capacitor is Electric Potential Energy. Capacitor is device used for storing energy. The work done to charge is a capacitor is stored in it in the form of Electrical potential energy. Electrical potential energy is defined as capacity to do work due to the position change. For example, we know fans have capacitor installed in it. When we turn off the fan, it continue moving using the electrical energy stored in the capacitor.
