The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours.What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3

/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator? (Hint: what is the radius of the circle in which the point moves?) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

v = 120 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

earth's radius; r = 6.37 × 10^(6) m

Angular speed; ω = 2π/(24 × 3600) = 7.27 × 10^(-5) rad/s

Now, we want to find the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator.

The angle will be;

θ = ¾ × 90

θ = 67.5

¾ is multiplied by 90° because the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees.

The speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator will be:

v = r(cos θ) × ω

v = 6.37 × 10^(6) × cos 67.5 × 7.27 × 10^(-5)

v = 117.22 m/s

Approximation to 2 sig. figures gives;

v = 120 m/s

Which of the following is a TRUE statement?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

e. All of these statements are false.

Explanation:

As we know that heat transfer take place from high temperature to low temperature.

It is possible to convert all work into heat but it is not possible to convert all heat in to work some heat will be reject to the surrounding.

The first law of thermodynamics is the energy conservation law.

Second law of thermodynamics  states that it is impossible to construct a device which convert all energy into work without rejecting the heat to the surrounding.

By using heat pump ,heat can transfer from cooler body to the hotter body.

Therefore all the answer is False.

Complete the sentences below using the words below, you may use each word more than once
satela [25.4K]
Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

Which kinds of objects emit visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Triss [41]

Answer : Relatively hot objects

Explanation : We know that, the temperature of the objects is inversely proportional to their wavelengths. The objects emitting radiation in the visible region have short wavelength and hence are relatively hotter.

We know the range of wavelength of the visible spectrum is from 400 nm to 780 nm.

The electric field strength E₀ is measured at a perpendicular distance R from an infinitely large, thin sheet that contains a un
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

E=(σ/ε0)

As noted by Dirac the field is the same no matter how far you are from the sheet. When your charge covers a conducting plane, as in your case, the field is, D/eo ,(D is charge density). Because the field inside the conductor (no matter how thin) is zero. The only time the field is, D/2eo, is when you have just a sheet of charge, by itself, not on a conducting plane."

Under state law, what is the blood-alcohol limit for legally operating a motor vehicle?
Sati [7]

Answer:

HOPE IT HELPS.....

Explanation:

The legal standard for drunkenness across the United States ranges from 0.10 to 0.08. If a person's BAC measures 0.08, it means that there are 0.08 grams (i.e., 80 mg) of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. The American Medical Association says that a person can become impaired when the blood alcohol level hits 0.05.
