Answer:

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the Earth rotates at constant speed, the tangential speed (v), measured in meters per second, at Livermore (37.6819º N, 121º W) is determined by the following expression:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}\right)\cdot R \cdot \sin \phi (1)

Where:

\Delta t - Rotation time, measured in seconds.

R - Radius of the Earth, measured in meters.

\phi - Latitude of the city above the Equator, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that \Delta t = 86160\,s, R = 6.371\times 10^{6}\,m and \phi = 37.6819^{\circ}, then the tangential speed at Livermore is:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{86160\,s} \right)\cdot (6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)\cdot \sin 37.6819^{\circ}

v\approx 284.001\,\frac{m}{s}

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: C

Frictional force

Explanation:

The description of the question above is an example of a circular motion.

For a car travelling in a curved path, the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface will provide the centripetal force.

Since the road is banked, and the cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car, for cornering the banked road, the car will not rely only on the frictional force.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C - the frictional force.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Potential energy

Explanation:

Before release, the catapult has potential energy stored in a tension of torsion device in it. Normally a flexible bow like object that could be made of wood or of metal.
