Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
where
giving
The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.
Answer:
5.1 hours
Explanation:
The only fact we need to know about such a question is that when gazing down at the north pole, the earth spins longitudinally at 360 degrees / day in the clockwise direction.
The planet would have to spin an additional 77 ° to strike the asteroid at 25° E. If the earth rotates in 24 hours 360 degrees, then it must it rotates in 5.1 h at 77 degrees.
Answer:
I believe Mercury has the most extreme temperatures in the solar system, ranging from -280?F at night to 800 degrees F during the day for parts of the surface.
Hope that helps! :)
