Answer:
A)
58/3 = 19.33 hours
B)
84.00 hours
C)
2074.29 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation ( 24 hours) the earth will rotate through 360 degrees or 2π radians.
A)
In one day or 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 290 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 290 degrees, then the following proportions hold;
(24/360) = (x/290)
solving for x;
x = (24/360) * 290 = 58/3 = 19.33 hours
B)
In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it will takes the Earth to rotate through 7π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 7π radians, then the following proportions hold;
(24/2π radians) = (x/7π radians)
Solving for x;
x = (24/2π radians)*7π radians = 84 hours
C)
If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;
circumference = 2*π*R = π*D
= 7920*3.142
= 24891.43 miles
Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;
(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr
The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;
1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles
Answer:
3 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to subtract the two numbers to find the difference in speeds
4/5 - 3/4
We need to get a common denominator of 20
4/5 *4/4 - 3/4 *5/5
16/20 - 15/20
1/20
The car going 4/5 miles per minute is going 1/20 miles per minute faster than the car going 3/4 miles per minute.
The question asks for miles per hour, not miles per minute. We know that there are 60 minutes per hour.
1/20 miles per minute * 60 minutes / hour
60/20 miles/hour
3 miles/ hour
The car going 4/5 miles per minute is going 3 miles per hour faster than the car going 3/4 miles per minute.
Answer:
y= -x
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>slope- intercept form</u>
y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
Given that the slope is -1, m= -1.
Substitute m= -1 into the equation:
y= -x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.
When x= 2, y= -2,
-2= -2 +c
c= -2 +2
c= 0
Thus, the equation of the line is y= -x.
