A car travels in a due northerly direction at a speed of 55 km/h. The traces of rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal. If the rain is falling vertically with respect to the earth, what is the speed of the rain with respect to the earth?
a. 48 km/h b. 95 km/h c. 58 km/h d. 32 km/h e. 80 km/h
Suppose that a rigid aluminum wire were to be strung out in a loop that just fits snugly around the equator (assuming a perfectly spherical Earth with a radius of 6.37 × 106 m)
If the temperature of the wire is increased by 0.50°C, and the increase in length is distributed equally over the entire length, how far off the ground will the wire loop be if it remained centered on the earth? The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is 24 × 10-6 K-1. A) 76 cm B) 760 m C) 76 mm D) 7.6 mm E) 76 m
