Well, you need no look further than the word "terrestrial" If you notice the beginning of the word you notice that it consists mostly of the word "terra" Terra by definition is just land. Due to the solid land of these 4 planets, they're called terrestrial planets, the other 4 aren't made of land but of gas which is why they aren't classified as terrestrial planets.

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the disk, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

angular speed of the disk, ω = 100 rpm

time of motion, t = 30 s

The distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is calculated as follows;

$\theta = \omega t\\\\\theta = (100 \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 s} ) \times (30 s)\\\\\theta = 100 \pi \ rad\\\\d = \theta r\\\\d = 100\pi \ \times \ 0.5m\\\\d = 50 \pi \ m = 157.1 \ m$

Therefore, the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/sec to 15 m/sec in 12 seconds. What is the

Vladimir [108]

24-15=9 m/s slower in 12 seconds. So 9/12 m/s² slower. Therefore the acceleration is -0,75 m/s²
