The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.
C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
C = 24,912 miles
From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.
Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.
It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.
Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.
