Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles
1 answer:
Answer:
1047 miles
Explanation:
The radius of the Earth is
(miles)
So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by
Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.
For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1
and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2
