In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr) 
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

What is the relationship between the spring constant and the period in a mass hanging on a spring oscillation and why?
anygoal [31]

Explanation:

Period of a mass on a spring is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

T is inversely proportional with the square root of k.  So as the spring constant increases, the period decreases.

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri
belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it  must also be zero.

The net external force and the net external torque acting on the object have to be zero for an object to be in mechanical equilibrium.

Hence, the given statement is true.
