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

along the equator does it rotate each hour? (approximation is acceptable)
Physics
1 answer:
Alenkinab [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

r = 4000 (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi

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:

L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi

According to the directions on a can of frozen orange juice concentrate, 1 can of concentrate is to be mixed with 3 cans of wate
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

25

Explanation:

Given:

1 can of concentrate requires 3 cans of water

Now,

Total ounces in 200 6-ounce cans = 1200 ounces

also,

for 1 can of concentrate requires 3 cans of water

thus,

for 12 ounces can water can required = 3 × 12 ounces = 36 ounces of cans

Thus,

total ounce of juice per can = 12 + 36 = 48 ounces per can

therefore,

the number of 12-ounce cans required  are = \frac{\textup{Ttoal ounces}}{\textup{Ounces per can}}

or

= \frac{\textup{1200}}{\textup{48}}

or

the number of 12-ounce cans required  are = 25

In addition to plate tectonics, what is the other main driving force of the rock cycle?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:  Option B

Explanation:

Rocks contains pores and spaces in them in which water gets trapped, and this causes the rock to break as water increases its volume due to freezing. This rocks are then eroded and are carried away into the streams and channels. The rivers and streams can carry particles of various shapes and size, which are further transported and deposited at a different place.

This particles or sediments then gets compacted and lithified in due course of time, and forms sedimentary rocks.

Water is also needed to undergo metasomatism process, that creates a metamorphic rock.

Hence, water flow is also an important driving force in rock cycle, along with tectonic activities.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac
Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:  

                                       λ = \frac{v}{f}

Where λ is the wavelength, v is the constant speed and f is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than 10^{19} Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

                                           (i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)

If it takes a planet 2.8 × 108 s to orbit a star with a mass of 6.2 × 1030 kg, what is the average distance between the planet a
Levart [38]

Answer:

9.36*10^11 m

Explanation

Orbital velocity  v=√{(G*M)/R},

G = gravitational constant =6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²,

M = mass of the star

R =distance from the planet to the star.

v=ωR, with ω as the angular velocity and R the radius

ωR=√{(G*M)/R},

ω=2π/T,

T = orbital period of the planet

To get R we write the formula by making R the subject of the equation

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}

{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²,

(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R,

(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M,

R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²,

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},

Substitute values

R=9.36*10^11 m
