Discuss how you could measure Earth's diameter using nothing but a shadow-casting stick, a protractor, and a car's trip odometer if on a road trip between two cities that are approximately on the same line of constant longitude with a relatively straight shot of road connecting them.

The earth is constantly spinning on its axis, like you might spin a basketball on your finger. it is this spinning of the earth that causes

An engine undergoes a cycle as shown in the diagram. during a complete cycle the work done by the gas is 28.5×103 j and the energy transferred thermally out is 99.4×103 j. there are 1.5×1024 gas molecules and they have three active degrees of freedom. 6. (6 pts) during which process(es) is energy transferred thermally into the gas? a. 1→2 b. 2→3 c. 4→1 d. 1→2 and 4→1 e. none of the above

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.
