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

The rotational speeds of four generators are listed in RPM (revolutions per minute). Arrange the generators in order based on th
artcher [175]

with the same generator, so the only factor for producing the slectric field is only the speed. The faster the rotational speed of the generator the greater it produce electric field. So the sequence is 3000 rpm < 3200 rpm < 3400 rpm < 3600 rpm

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an
sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The <em><u>work </u></em>is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the <em>two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north"</em>, that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. <u>Tugboat #1</u>.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) =  1.8×10⁶N  × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. <u>Tugboat #2</u>:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle:  = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) =  1.8×10⁶N  × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. <u>Total net force, Fn</u>:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. <u>Work, W</u>:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength.
Ahat [919]
The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The frequency is the same as that of the source and is the number of waves that pass a point per unit time.
