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)

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

In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).

The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)

d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s

Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)

Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s

So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.

I hope this helps :)

One side of the moon always faces Earth because the time it takes the moon to spin on its axis is blank the time it takes the mo
Kamila [148]
The word to fill in the blank is "equal". Because the time taken to rotate (spin on its axis) is equal to the time of revolution (going around the earth), this means that both have the same rate of angular rotation. So for every bit that the moon goes around its orbit around earth, the moon itself rotates accordingly to present the exact same side to earth.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The general shape of a frequency distribution. For many data sets, statisticians use this information to determine whether there is a “normal” distribution of values. In normal distributions, the mean, median, and mode are the same. Whether the distribution is symmetrical or skewed in a certain direction. If the data is skewed to the right, this shows the mean will be greater than the median. Similarly, if the data is skewed left, the mean will be less than the median. The symmetry, or asymmetry, of the chart can help statisticians calculate probability. The modality of the data set. This means how many peaks exist in the data. For normal distributions, there will be one peak, or mode, in the data set.

About how much longer can the Sun continue to generate energy by nuclear reactions in its core?
QveST [7]

Answer: 5billion years

Explanation: The sun produces energy through radioactive fusion reaction.

Nebula theory states that the gaseous particles of the Earth collapsed as a result of its own gravity which continuously lead to fusion reaction for the production of nuclear energy.

The Core of the Sun is that area up to 25% from the radius of the sun,here the pressure here range up to 250million atmosphere containing mainly hydrogen which gets converted in Helium molecule. The core is the center for energy production accounting for more than 98%, nuclear energy is transmitted at about 4.3million metric tons per second.
