Answer: its linear momentum is 1.78 × 10²⁹ kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of Earth m =  5.972 x 10²⁴ kg

radius r = 1.496 x 10¹¹ m

period t = 3.15 x 10⁷ s

now we know that Earth rotates in a circular path so the distance travelled per rotation is;

d = 2πr we substitute

d = 2π × 1.496 x 10¹¹ m

= 9.4 × 10¹¹ m

Now formula for speed v is;

v = d/t

we substitute

v = 9.4 × 10¹¹ m / 3.15 x 10⁷ s

v = 2.98 × 10⁴ m/s

now we determine the linear momentum p

linear momentum p = mv

we substitute

p = (5.972 x 10²⁴ kg) × (2.98 × 10⁴ m/s)

p = 1.78 × 10²⁹ kg.m/s

Therefore its linear momentum is 1.78 × 10²⁹ kg.m/s

1. What types of natural phenomena could serve as time standards?<br>​
Alex Ar [27]
In practice, something that follows a very predictable pattern can be used as a time standard. This include things like radioactive decay, planetary orbit, and the speed of light, among others.

An elevator is accelerating upward at a rate of 3.6 m/s2. a block of mass 24 kg hangs by a low-mass rope from the ceiling, and a
kozerog [31]
The answer:

<span>When the elevator accelerates upward at a rate of 3.6 m/s², the value of the acceleration becomes

</span>A=g+3.6=13.4 m/s²
and by using the newton's law, F=mass x A, we have 
T1= (24 + 90 )x 13.4= 1527.6 N, where T1 is the <span>Tension in upper rope
</span> and 
T2= ( 90 )x 13.4= 1206N, where T2 is the Tension in lower rope

When the elevator accelerates downward at a rate of 3.6 m/s², the value of the acceleration becomes
A=9.8 - 3.6 = 6.2 m/s²

T1= (24 + 90 )x 6.2= 706.8 N, where T1 is the Tension in upper rope
 and 
T2= ( 90 )x 6.2= 558N, where T2 is the Tension in lower rope

A force of 20 N acts toward the east. Another force of 27 N acts at the same point toward the west. What is the magnitude and di
Jet001 [13]
Since we are working in one dimension (left right or East West), we don't need to worry about angles! It's just simply a matter of adding things up!

First list out all the forces and add negative (-ive) signs to each of the 'west' forces like this.

20 East + (-27 West) + ? = 10 East

so it's easy to see that 20 + (-27) = -7
So to get to 10 from -7 just do the sum to get 17.
Since 17 is not negative it must be in the direction of East.
So the answer is:
Magnitude = 17 N
Direction = toward the East

How does the angular diameter of an object change as you move away from the object?
7nadin3 [17]

Explanation :

Angular diameter of a sphere or a circle shows how large a sphere or a circle appears from a given point. It is the angle between the initial and final positions.

The angular diameter of a given sphere or a circle is given by :

             \delta =2arc\ tan\dfrac{d}{2D}

where \delta is angular displacement

d is actual diameter of object

D is distance to the center of sphere

So, angular displacement is inversely proportional to the distance from the object.

<em>Hence, as we move away from the object the angular diameter of an object gets smaller.</em>
