Answer:

86400 seconds

Explanation:

To convert a mean solar day to second :

Number of hours in a solar day = 24 hours

Number of minutes per hour = 60 minutes

Number of seconds per minute = 60 minutes

Hence, the number of seconds in a solar day is :

(Number of hours in a solar day * number of minutes in an hour * number of seconds in a minute)

(24 * 60 * 60) seconds = 86400 seconds

Hence, 1 mean solar day = 86400 seconds

A van starts off 152 miles directly north from the city of Springfield. It travels due east at a speed of 25 miles per hour. Aft

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

12.84 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given:

Vertical distance of starting point of van from Springfield (d) = 152 miles

Speed in east direction (s) = 25 mph

Distance traveled in east direction (e) = 91 miles

Let the direct distance from Springfield of the van be 'x' at any time 't'.

Now, from the question, it is clear that, the vertical distance of van is fixed at 152 miles and only the horizontal distance is changing with time.

Now, consider a right angled triangle SNE representing the given situation.

Point S represents Springfield, N represents the starting point of van and E represents the position of van at any time 't'.

SN = d = 152 miles (fixed)

Now, using the pythagorean theorem, we have:

$SE^2=SN^2+NE^2\\\\x^2=d^2+e^2\\\\x^2=(152)^2+e^2----(1)$

Now, differentiating both sides with respect to time 't', we get:

$2x\frac{dx}{dt}=0+2e\frac{de}{dt}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{e}{x}\frac{de}{dt}$

Now, we are given speed as 25 mph. So, $\frac{de}{dt}=25\ mph$

Also, when $e=91\ mi$ , we can find 'x' using equation (1). This gives,

$x^2=23104+(91)^2\\\\x=\sqrt{31385}=177.16\ mi$

Now, plug in the values of 'e' and 'x' and solve for $\frac{dx}{dt}$ . This gives,

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{91}{177.16}\times 25\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=12.84\ mph$

Therefore, the distance between the van and Springfield is changing at a rate of 12.84 miles per hour

Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body while holding a 2.0 kg mass in each hand. She then spins aroun

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

The gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s2 here on Earth at sea level. What is the gravitational acceleration at a height of 35

azamat

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition of severity of Newtonian laws in which it is specified that gravity is defined by

$g= \frac{GM}{R^2}$

Where

G= Gravitational Constant

M = Mass of Earth

R= Radius from center of the planet

According to the information we need to find the gravity 350km more than the radius of Earth, then

$g_{ss} = \frac{GM}{R+h^2}$

$g_{ss} = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}}{(6371*10^3+350*10^3)^2}$

$g_{ss} = 8.82m/s^2$

Therefore the gravitational acceleration at 350km is $8.82m/s^2$
