We found the centripetal acceleration of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun. Compute the centripetal acceleration of a point on the surface of the Earth at the equator caused by the rotation of the Earth about its axis. (Enter the magnitude. The radius of the Earth is 6,371 km.) m/s2
The earth (of radius of 6371km) rotates on itself at a rate of one revolution every 24 hours and is titled by an angle of 23.5°. Let's assume that the earth is a perfect sphere, which allows us to consider a uniform circular motion 23.5 R equator Figure 1: Earth rotation Everybody on earth share the same time of rotation, but based on their location on the earth, they wil have different velocities. A person located in Hawaii, at an...
• The earth has a radius of 6380 km and turns around once on its axis in 24 h. What is the centripetal acceleration of an object at the earth’s equator?
The earth has a radius of 6380 km and turns around once on its axis in 24 h. Part A What is the radial acceleration of an object at the earth's equator? Give your answer in m/s2. Part B What is the radial acceleration of an object at the earth's equator? Give your answer as a fraction of g. Part C If arad at the equator is greater than g , objects would fly off the earth's surface and into...
2. A car is driving at constant angular speed along a 20 m radius circular track. The car completes one revolution of the track in 10 seconds. Calculate: (i) The (tangent) speed of the car. 12.6 m/s (ii) The angular speed of the car. 0.63 1/s or 0.63 rad/s (iii) The centripetal acceleration of the car. 7.9 m/s2 (iv) The RPM (i.e. revolutions per minute) of the car. 6 RPM THE ANSWERS ARE IN BOLD, COULD YOU PLEASE SHOW THE...
The earth has a radius of 6.38 x 106 m and turns on its axis once every 23.9 h. (a) What is the tangential speed (in m/s) of a person living in Ecuador, a country that lies on the equator? (b) At what latitude (i.e., the angle in the figure, in degrees) is the tangential speed 1/2 that of a person living in Ecuador? Axis of rotation Equator
The earth has a radius of 6.38 x 106 m and turns on its axis once every 23.9 h. Axis of rotation Equator (a) What is the tangential speed (in m/s) of a person living in Ecuador, a country that lies on the equator? m/s (b) At what latitude (i.e., the angle o in the drawing) is the tangential speed one-third that of a person living in Ecuador?
Earth has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. Assume it is a uniform solid sphere. The distance of Earth from the sun is 1.50 x 1011 m. (Assume Earth completes a single rotation in 24.0 hours and orbits the Sun once every 365 Earth days.) (a) Calculate the angular momentum of Earth in its orbit around the Sun kg m2/s (b) Calculate the angular momentum of Earth on its axis kg...
An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 1810 × 103 seconds (about 21 days) on average to complete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 255.0 × 106 m and the planet has a radius of 3.80 × 106 m, calculate the moon's radial acceleration ?c in m/s2.
