Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, If tangential velocity is your reference frame

If R is the radius of earth

and ω is the angular velocity = (2π / (24(3600)) radians/s

Tangential velocity at the equator is

v = ωR = (2π / (24(3600))(6 370 000 m) = 463 m/s

Tangential velocity at a point half way to the pole (45° latitude)

v = ωRcosΘ = 463cos45 = 328 m/s

Answer:

John Dalton

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory was the foundation for a new understanding of chemical structures. He proposed that matter was constituted by indivisible and indestructible particles "atoms." He theorized that all atoms of a particular substance were equal, and the atoms of different substances had atoms of different sizes and masses.

He also proposed that all compounds of elements were combinations of elements but in a very precise ratio.

Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?
mezya [45]
Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the mass is greater?
mixas84 [53]
<span>NO.

Air resistance does not affect the motion of a falling object differently when the mass is greater because the mass of an object does not in any way affect the speed of falling due to gravity, and air resistance depends only on the speed of the object and its surface area.</span>

How much tension is in a rope if it pulls a 5-kg bucket filled with water with an upward acceleration of 1m/s^2
liraira [26]
F=ma
Tension - weight = mass x acceleration
T - 5(9.81) = 5 x 1
T = 5 + 5(9.81)
T = 54.05 N
T ≈ 54 N
