Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of object = 49N
Force applied = 12N
Unknown:
Acceleration of object = ?
Solution:
The acceleration of the object is found by dividing the force by the weight;
Acceleration = = 0.25m/s²
Here we have to calculate the number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the entire life time of a human being.
The average human life is 50 years .
Each year is 365.5 days
Hence
=18,275 days
The earth rotates around its own axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 second which is approximately equal to 24 hours or one days.
Hence one rotation takes one days.
⇒18,275 days =18,275 rotations
Hence the total number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the life time of a average human life time will be 18,275 times
