5 0

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>

There are many ways to lose weight, but a sustainable plan generally involves behavior modification related to diet and exercise

Anna007 [38]

The answer is adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients.

Explanation:

Despite that adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients is one of the best strategy to reducing weight, most time it is very difficult for those that want to reduce or control their weight to discipline themselves enough to follow these routine. But one an individual that want to loose weight or live a healthy lifestyle is able to follow these procedures he/she will surely loose weight.

Which classification scheme is based on the brightness of a star as it appears to you in the night sky?

anastassius [24]

The apparent magnitude scale is a classification scheme which is based on the brightness of stars. The range of brightness values is from 1 to 6.
The stars which are the most brightest are ranked as number 1 and also called first magnitude stars, stars which are little dimmer than number 1 are ranked as number 2 and also called second magnitude stars. Similarly the most faintest stars are ranked number 6 and also called as the sixth magnitude stars.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 8.0 s, it rotates 35 rad.

Harman [31]

Answer:

(a) 1.093 rad/s^2

(b) 4.375 rad/s

(d) 67.845 rad

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0

time, t = 8s

angular displacement, θ = 35 rad

(a) Let α be the angular acceleration.

Use second equation of motion for rotational motion

$\theta =\omega _{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}$

By substituting the values

35 = 0 + 0.5 x α x 8 x 8

α = 1.093 rad/s^2

(b) The average angular velocity is defined as the ratio of total angular displacement to the total time taken .

Average angular velocity = 35 / 8 = 4.375 rad/s

Use first equation of motion for rotational motion

ω = ωo + αt

ω = 0 + 1.093 x 8 = 8.744 rad/s

(d) Let in next 5 seconds the angular displacement is θ.

$\theta =\omega _{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}$

By substituting the values

θ = 8.744 x 5 + 0.5 x 1.093 x 5 x 5

θ = 67.845 rad

If the mass of a material is 120 grams and the volume of the material is 23 cm3, what would the density of the material be?

oee [108]

The density is 5.22 g/cm³.

Density= $\frac{mass}{volume}$
Density= $\frac{120 g}{23 cm {3} }$
Density= 5.22 g/cm³
