The ocean is not flat, because the Earth is curved. Take the radius of the Earth to be 6.38 × 103 km. How many meters lower will its surface be 32.0 km from the ship as measured along a line that is tangent to the surface of the Earth at the location of the ship?
A gallon of milk in a full plastic jug is sitting on the edge of your kitchen table. Estimate the vertical distance between the top surface of the milk and the bottom of the jug. Also estimate the distance from the tabletop to the floor. You punch a small hole in the side of the jug just above the bottom of the jug, and milk flows out the hole. When the milk first starts to flow out the hole, what horizontal distance does it travel before reaching the floor? Assume the milk is in free fall after it has passed through the hole, and neglect the viscosity of the milk.
How do you find the area of this? I had to do an experiment where you take a styrofoam cup and poke a flashlight through the bottom of it, then shine the light onto a wall from different distances and measure the diameter. I have to calculate the area. It it just pi*r^2? That's what I did, but then I've seen someone else use 4*pi*r^2 and that confused me. I want to make sure I done it right.

Assuming the paint is put on with a uniform thickness, calculate this thickness in inches." Hmm... I don't think the paint can height is necessary... at least, it wasn't given in the problem. I started out by calculating the volume of the 2 inches removed from the can, and, knowing that the volume would stay the same, tried to figure out how to put the volume onto the surface of the cube. That's where I got stuck. Any ideas? Thank you!arrow_forward
