How much difference is there between your apparent weight when standing on flat ground at the equator v.s. at the south pole v.s. at 60 degree latitude? Assume Earth's radius is 6,380 km. What period of rotation for Earth would make you feel weightless at the equator?

1. Ceres is the largest asteroid. Its mean radius is 476 km and its mass is 9.4×10^20 kg. Using this, and G=6.67×10^−11 Nm^ 2 kg^−2, and approximating it as a sphere, compute the speed required to escape the gravity on the surface of Ceres. Speed= ___ m.s^−1. (to two significant figures, don't use scientific notation) 2. Consider the mechanical energy of a body in geostationary orbit above the Earth's equator, at rGS = 42000 km. Consider the mechanical energy of the...
A 747 with a wingspan of 60 m is flying across an area of the earth where the earth's magnetic field is 5 x 10 -4 T. If the aircraft is travelling at 200 m/s perpendicular to the field, how much potential difference is induced between the wingtips.
2. (1) A pendulum clock makes use of the fact that the period of a pendulum is consistent and can be predicted relatively easy. What should the length of a pendulum be if the desired frequency of oscillation is. 3. (1) Near the shore, Tsunamis travel at a speed of 30 mph and the distance between crests is about 6.5 miles. What is the frequency of such a wave? Give your answer in units of Hz. When one crest hits...
.Please form info discussion groups of 3 (no more than 3) to solve the following questions. Use the boards in the classroom to discuss the details of your solutions and show of work. Markers and erasers will be provided. Please return them after end of the class. Groups will be called to solve the questions for the rest of the class (bonus points opportunity) The final answers to each question is provided in the parenthesis. You need to arrive at...
How can we assess whether a project is a success or a failure? This case presents two phases of a large business transformation project involving the implementation of an ERP system with the aim of creating an integrated company. The case illustrates some of the challenges associated with integration. It also presents the obstacles facing companies that undertake projects involving large information technology projects. Bombardier and Its Environment Joseph-Armand Bombardier was 15 years old when he built his first snowmobile...
