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

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

528 liter.

Explanation:

Volume of the tank(cuboid) = l*b*h

But volume of the water = l*b*h

Where

l= length of the tank

b = width of the tank

h = the length from the bottom of the tank,

3.55 in to m,

0.09017m

Length of the water in the tank = 0.570 - 0.09017

= 0.47983 m.

Volume = 0.47983*0.710*1.55

= 0.528 m3.

1 m3 = 1000 liter.

0.528 m3 = 0.528*1000

= 528 liter

One of the brightest nebulae in the night sky, the Orion Nebula may be seen with the unaided eye. The Trapezium is a young open cluster of four main stars in this magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized atomic hydrogen.

<h3>What is the source of the Orion Nebula's crimson glow?</h3>
  • The hydrogen gas in the Orion Nebula, which is powered by radiation from young stars, gives off a crimson tint. The nebula's blue-violet regions are reflecting radiation from bright, blue-white O-type stars while the red areas are emitting light.
  • The Orion Nebula is one of many massive clouds of gas and dust in our Milky Way galaxy, say contemporary astronomers, and is one of the largest. It is approximately 1,300 light years away from Earth. This enormous hazy cocoon, which measures approximately 30 to 40 light-years in diameter, is generating potentially a thousand stars.
