The earth rotates once per day about an axis passing through the north and south poles, an axis that is perpendicular to the pla

ne of the equator. Assuming the earth is a sphere with a radius of 6.38 x 106 m, determine the speed and centripetal acceleration of a person situated (a) at the equator and (b) at a latitude of 30.0° north of the equator.

Answer:

a)

Speed at Equator = 463.97 meters per second

Centripetal Acceleration at Equator = 3.37*10^{-2} meters per second squared

b)

Speed at 30 degrees north of equator = 401.79 meters per second

Centripetal Acceleration at 30 degrees north of equator = 2.92*10^{-2} meters per second squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is:

v=\frac{2 \pi R}{T}

Where

v is speed

R is radius

T is time

and another formula for centripetal acceleration:

a_c=\frac{4 \pi^{2} R}{T^2}

Now,

a)

at equator, the radius is radius of earth (given), time in seconds is

T = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86,400

THus,

v_E=\frac{2 \pi (6.38*10^{6}}{86,400}=463.97

Speed at Equator = 463.97 meters per second

Centripetal Acceleration:

a_{cE}=\frac{v_E^2}{R_E}=\frac{463.97}{6.38*10^{6}}=3.37*10^{-2}

Centripetal Acceleration at Equator = 3.37*10^{-2} meters per second squared

b)

At 30.0° north of the equator:

R_N=R_E Cos (30)= (6.38*10^6)Cos(30)=5.53*10^6

Now,

Speed = v_{30N}=\frac{2 \pi (5.53*10^6)}{86,400}=401.79

Speed at 30 degrees north of equator = 401.79 meters per second

Centripetal Acceleration:

a_{30N}=\frac{v_E^2}{R_E}=\frac{401.79}{5.53*10^6}=2.92*10^{-2}

Centripetal Acceleration at 30 degrees north of equator = 2.92*10^{-2} meters per second squared

Solve the equation 4y + 228 = 352
nadezda [96]

Hello there!

4y + 228 = 352

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓

First you had to subtract by 228 from both sides of the equation.

4y+228-228=352-228

Simplify

4y=124

Then you divide by 4 from both sides of the equation.

\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{124}{4}

Simplify it should be the correct answer.

y=31

Answer⇒⇒⇒⇒y=31

Hope this helps!
