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.
A person is standing at the edge of the water and looking out at the ocean (see figure). The height of the person's eyes above the water

(a) How far is it to the horizon? In other words, what is the distance d from the person's eyes to the horizon? (Note: At the horizon the
angle between the line of sight and the radius of the earth is 90°.)

The sidewalk surrounding the perimeter of the circular lake is crowded with walkers and runners. You then notice a runner approaching you wearing a T-shirt with writing on it. You read the first two lines, but are unable to read the third line before he passes. You wonder, ”Hmmm, if he continues around the lake, I bet I’ll see him again but I should anticipate the time when we’ll pass again.” You look at your watch and it is 5:07pm. You estimate your walking speed at 3 m/s and the runner’s speed to be about 14 m/s. You also estimate that the diameter of the lake is about 2 miles.

- Schwarzschild radius RS of a black hole is the maximum distance from the black hole’s center at which light cannot escape its gravitational field. The quantity RS (with dimensions of length) is dependent on the mass of the black hole M, the speed of light c, and the gravitational constant G. Based on the dimensions of these four parameters, predict an equation for the Schwarzschild radius. Hint: G has dimensions of [L3/MT2]arrow_forwardDuring your childhood days, you love to watch as youfill a transparent plastic bottle with an apple juice .
