The equatorial radius of the earth is
r = 6378 km = 6378 x 10³ m

The earth makes 1 revolution in 24 hours.
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(24*3600 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The tangential velocity (linear velocity) at a point on the equator is
v = rω
   = (6378 x 10³ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
   = 463.8 m/s

Answer: 463.8 m/s

tigry1 [53]

Answer: layoff

Explanation:

From the information in the question, we can see that Jane is trying to reduce the size of the workforce here through layoff.

Since Joan explains that the termination is temporary, then it's a layoff. If it were to be firing, the termination won't be temporary but permanent as they can't be recalled by the company. But since the employees are discharged temporarily, it's a layoff.

Microwaves and infrared waves are similar because they both have...
bekas [8.4K]

d. lower frequencies and low energy.

Explanation:

Microwaves and infrared  waves are lower frequencies and lower energy waves.

They are both non-ionizing radiation.

  • Microwaves and infrared waves are both electromagnetic waves.
  • They do not require a material medium to be propagated in nature.
  • They have little energy because the have very low frequency.
  • They also have very long wavelengths.
