Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A great circle is the circle that passes through the center point of the sphere. This means that it is the largest circle to be drawn in a sphere. So, the great circle of Earth would be the equation.

The nearest marked latitude to my location is the tropic of cancer. Any latitude that is not the equator is not the great circle of Earth. So, it is not an example of the great circle of Earth.

The pressure of the earth's atmosphere at sea level is 14.7 lb/in2. What is the pressure when expressed in g/m2? (2.54 cm = 1 in

miss Akunina [59]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

14.7 lb / in² = 10333018.166 g / m²

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given from the question;

pressure = 14.7lb/in²

<u>To convert from lb / in² to g / m²</u>

Note;

2.54 cm = 1 in ------------(i)

But;

100 cm = 1m

=> 2.54cm = 2.54 cm x 1 m / 100 cm = 0.0254m

=>2.54cm = 0.0254m

Substitute 2.54cm = 0.0254m into equation(i)

=> 0.0254m = 1 in

2.205 lb = 1 kg ------------------(ii)

But;

1kg = 1000g

Substitute 1kg = 1000g into equation (ii)

=> 2.205 lb = 1000g ---------------------(iii)

<em>From equation(iii);</em>

if, 2.205 lb = 1000g

then, 1 lb = 1 lb x 1000 g / 2.205 lb = 453.5g

=> 1 lb = 453.5 g

<em>Now let's convert 14.7 lb/in² to g / m²;</em>

=> 14.7 lb / in² could be written as 14.7 x 1 lb / (1 in x 1 in)

i.e

=> 14.7 lb / in² = 14.7 x 1 lb / (1 in x 1 in) ------------------(iv)

<em>Substitute the values of 1 lb = 453.5g and 1 in = 0.0254m into equation(iv)</em>

=> 14.7 lb / in² = 14.7 x 453.5g / (0.0254m x 0.0254m)

=> 14.7 lb / in² = 6666.45 g / (0.00064516m²)

=> 14.7 lb / in² = 10333018.166 g / m²

<em>Therefore, 14.7 lb / in² = 10333018.166 g / m²</em>

AN airplane travels 4000 m in 20s on a heading 0f 35 degrees north west. Calculate average velocity .

alexandr402 [8]

Isn't velocity Distance over time? if the degree isn't adding resistance it should be 4000 ÷ 20 which gives you 200mps ("per second") which is the velocity without resistance.
