Hello there.
<span>
At ground level g is 9.8m/s^2. Suppose the earth started to increase its angular velocity. How long would a day be when people on the equator were just 'thrown off'? Why is the expression 'thrown off' a bad one ?

Let s = rate of rotation 
<span>Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km </span>
<span>Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. </span>
<span>People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.</span>

Suppose a constant net force of 345 N is applied to slide a heavy stationary couch across the
ira [324]

Answer:

517.5Ns

Explanation:

F=(MV - MU)/t

where MV - MU is the change in momentum,

therefore, MV - MU = Ft

= 345 X 1.

= 517.5Ns

A 62 kg bungee jumper jumps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord whose unstretched length is 12 m. She falls a total of 3
Andrew [12]

Answer:

k = 104.46 N/m

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

so we will have

initial gravitational potential energy = final total spring potential energy

as we know that she falls a total distance of 31 m

while the unstretched length of the string is 12 m

so the extension in the string is given as

x = L - L_o

x = 31 - 12 = 19 m

so we have

mgH = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

62(9.81)(31) = \frac{1}{2}k (19^2)

k = 104.46 N/m
