Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the sun disappears. you then stand, elevating your eyes by a height h= 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the sun again disappears. if the elapsed time is 11.1 s, what is the radius r of earth?

Asmall metal bar, whose initial temperature was 10° c, is dropped into a large container of boiling water. how long will it take the bar to reach 70° c if it is known that its temperature increases 2° during the first second? (the boiling temperature for water is 100° c. round your answer to one decimal place.) sec how long will it take the bar to reach 98° c? (round your answer to one decimal place.)
