Answer:
A)
15 hours
B)
108 hours
C)
2074.29 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in one complete rotation about its axis ( 24 hours) the Earth will cover 360 degrees or 2π radians.
A)
In every 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees ( a complete rotation). We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 225 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 225 degrees, then the following proportions hold;
(24/360) = (x/225)
solving for x;
x = (24/360) * 225 = 15 hours
B)
In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians (a complete rotation) . We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 9π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 9π radians, then the following proportions hold;
(24/2π radians) = (x/9π radians)
Solving for x;
x = (24/2π radians)*9π radians = 108 hours
C)
If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;
circumference = 2*π*R = π*D
= 7920*3.142
= 24891.43 miles
Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;
(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr
The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;
1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles
Answer:
183
Step-by-step explanation:
i cant draw an actual model but 549/3 = 183
The Slope of lines parallel to line is 1/2 and the Slope of lines perpendicular to line is -2.
<h3>What is the equation of a straight line ?</h3>
An equation that can be written in the form of y = mx+c
where m is the slope of the line
and c is the intercept on y axis
The equation given in the question is
y=1/2x−7
in this the slope = 1/2
Intercept = -7
For parallel Lines
For a parallel line , the slope of the line is same
and is given by m = 1/2
For a perpendicular line
Slope will be equal to
-1/m
here -1/m = -2
Therefore the slope for perpendicular line is -2.
