First off, you need to know the weight of the projectile, lift and drag coefficients something like a high Reynolds number is preferred, then use the gravitational constant of 9.8 meters per second squared those would be a good start to get closer to your goal
Answer:
a) w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s
b) v1 = 463.1 m/s
c) v1 = 440.433 m/s
Explanation:
Given:-
- The radius of the earth, R = 6.37 * 10 ^6 m
- The time period for 1 revolution T = 24 hrs
Find:
What is the earth's angular speed?
What is the speed of a point on the equator?
What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 1/5 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator?
Solution:
- The angular speed w of the earth can be related with the Time period T of the earth revolution by:
w = 2π / T
w = 2π / 24*3600
w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s
- The speed of the point on the equator v1 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.
v1 = R*w
v1 = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*(7.27 * 10^-5)
v1 = 463.1 m/s
- The angle θ subtended by a point on earth's surface 1/5 th between the equator and the pole wrt equator is.
π/2 ........... s
x ............ 1/5 s
x = π/2*5 = 18°
- The radius of the earth R' at point where θ = 18° from the equator is:
R' = R*cos(18)
R' = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*cos(18)
R' = 6058230.0088 m
- The speed of the point where θ = 18° from the equator v2 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.
v2 = R'*w
v2 = (6058230.0088)*(7.27 * 10^-5)
v2 = 440.433 m/s
Explanation:
The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2). Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.
First, we need to find the radius of curvature. This is given by the equation:
R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|
y' = 2x and y" = 2:
R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|
R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2
At x = √2:
R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2
R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2
R = 27 / 2
R = 13.5
So the centripetal force is:
F = m v² / r
F = m (5)² / 13.5
F = 1.85 m
Ultraviolet light. It can cause skin cancer and that is why we wear sunscreen. We also wear sunglasses because some research has shown that it can damage eyes. Although it can be dangerous, it can also kill certain bacterias.
To determine the diameter of the earth in metres first multiply the original value by 2.
6378 X 2 = 12 756 km.
Then convert km - m
1 km = 1000 m
12 756 km = ? m
12 756 • 1000 = 12 756 000 = 12 756 000 m or 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m
The final solution for the diameter is 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m.
