Zorch, an archenemy of superman, decides to slow earth's rotation to once per 27.4 h by exerting an opposing force at and parall

el to the equator. superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows zorch can only exert a force of 3.98 ✕ 107 n (a little greater than a saturn v rocket's thrust). how long in seconds must zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (this period gives superman time to devote to other villains.)

If we assume that Earth is a solid sphere, then I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.98e24kg * (6.371e6m)² = 9.71e37 kg·m² 
torque τ = Iα, but also τ = F*r = 3.98e7N * 6.371e6m = 2.54e14 N·m Since τ = τ, 2.54e14 N·m = 9.17e37kg·m² * α α = 3.61e-23 rad/s² 
ωo = 2πrads / (24h*3600s/h) = 7.27e-5 rad/s ω1 = 2πrads / (28h*3600s/h) = 6.23e-5 rad/s 
Plug in numbers t = 2/5 * (5.98 * 10^24 kg) * (6.37*10^6 m) * (7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s - 6.23 * 10^-5 rad/s) / (3.98*10^7 N) = 3.98*10^22 s = 1.26*10^17 yrs

A 110 kg hoop rolls along a horizontal floor so that the hoop's center of mass has a speed of 0.220 m/s. How much work must be d
Softa [21]

Answer:

the work that must be done to stop the hoop is 2.662 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the hoop, m = 110 kg

speed of the center mass, v = 0.22 m/s

The work that must be done to stop the hoop is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the hoop;

W = ΔK.E

W = ¹/₂mv²

W = ¹/₂ x 110 x 0.22²

W = 2.662 J

Therefore, the work that must be done to stop the hoop is 2.662 J

Edwin Hubble calculated the expansion rate of the universe. On what evidence did he base his calculation?
algol [13]

Edwin Hubble calculated the expansion rate of the universe. The evidence that he base his calculation is the differences in redshift for galaxies. The answer is letter B. the red shift of galaxies was directly proportional to the distance of the galaxy from earth.  It means that bodies farther away from Earth were moving away faster. The Hubble’s constant is the ratio of distance to redshift equal to 170 kilometers per second per light year of distance.
