The earth's radius is about 4000 miles. Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and Singapore are both nearly on the equator. The distan

ce between them is 5000 miles as measured along the earth's surface.
a. Through what angle do you turn, relative to the earth, if you fly from Kampala to Singapore? Give your answer in both radians and degrees.
b. The flight from Kampala to Singapore take 9 hours. What is the plane's angular speed relative to the earth?

Answer:

a) the required angle in both radian and degree is  1.25 rad and 71.6°

b) the plane's angular speed relative to the earth is 3.86 × 10⁻⁵ rad/sec

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a)

we know that The expression for the angle subtended by an arc of circle at the center of the circle is,

θ = Length / radius

given that Length is 5000 miles and radius is 4000 miles

we substitute

θ = 5000 miles / 4000 miles

θ = 1.25 rad

Radian to Degree

θ = 1.25 rad × ( 180° / π rad )

θ =  71.6°

Therefore, required angle in both radian and degree is  1.25 rad and 71.6°

b)

The flight from Kampala to Singapore take 9 hours.

the plane's angular speed relative to the earth = ?

we know that, the relation between angular velocity and angular displacement is;

ω = θ / t

given that θ is 1.25 rads and time t is 9 hours or ( 9 × 3600 sec ) = 32400 sec

we substitute

ω = 1.25 rad / 32400 sec

ω = 3.86 × 10⁻⁵ rad/sec

Therefore, the plane's angular speed relative to the earth is 3.86 × 10⁻⁵ rad/sec

Weeds are very important agronomically because they reduce the yield of crops in three ways: by competing with the crop for water, light and nutrients, by interfering with crop harvest, and by contaminating harvested products with weed seeds and toxins. Weeds can reduce yield up to 50% and are responsible for millions of dollars in crop losses each year.

It’s biotic factor would be competition as Competition can be defined as an interaction between organisms or species, in which the fitness of one is lowered by the presence of another.

F = m*a

30 N = (ma + mb) * a

30 = 5*a

a = 6 m/s ^2

F de B em A

30 - F de B,A = ma * a

30 - F de B em A = 3 * 6

30 - 18 = F de B em A

12 = F de B em A


Resposta: 6 m/s^2 e 12N
