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

PLEASE HELP 15 POINTSexplain properties and importance of light and how it separates into colors
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

It is not a property of light. It is your eyes and brain.

Specifically, the three kinds of cone cells in our eye that are sensitive to different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The fact that there are three means that color is three dimensional, and is the reason the pure colors form a circle even though the spectrum of wavelengths is linear.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum; light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths are distinguished as colors by the human eye. A prism can separate the colors of white light (dispersion) because different frequencies of light have different refractive indices for a given material.

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m
