Check the current weather map for 2 different times, and see where the center of the storm is. That tells you what direction it's moving. With its speed and direction, you have its velocity.
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.
Q = mc<span>∆t, where:
q = energy flow
m = mass, 120 000 g
c = specific heat capacity, 4.81 J/gC
</span><span>∆t = change in temperature, ~75 (100 - 25, which is room temperature)
Substituting in the values, we get:
q = 120000 x 4.81 x 75 = 43290000 Joules = 43.29 MJ
Hope I helped!! xx
