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 student pushes a box with a total mass of 50 kg. What is the net force on the box if it accelerates 1.5 m/s
Harrizon [31]
We now that follow newton rules f=ma so net force equal to mass*acceleration=>f=50*1.5=75 N

Lana71 [14]
<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>
