Similarities between rotating earth and non rotating earth

1 answer:

8 0

There is no similarity between the two situations aside from the fact that the earth will still be under the gravitational pull of the sun. Whatever the position of the earth around the sun, the gravity never looses its connection to it. But there are some incidents that might happen to the life forms of the earth if incase the earth stops rotating, all life forms not rooted on the ground will be pulled of moving eastward at 1000mph. Aside from that, an entire earth day will be equivalent to one year. The sun will also rise on the west and sets on the east. The earth's centrifugal force will also be changed causing the earth's structure to bulge. These things will happen if incase the earth stops rotating.

A disk shaped grindstone of mass 3.0 kg and radius 8 cm is spinning at 600 rpm. After the power is shut off the frictional torqu

seropon [69]

Answer:

$\theta=50\ revolution$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the grindstone, m = 3 kg

Radius of the grindstone, r = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Initial speed of the grindstone, $\omega_i=600\ rpm=62.83\ rad/s$

Finally it shuts off, $\omega_f=0$

Time taken, t = 10 s

Let $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration of the grindstone. Using the formula of rotational kinematics as :

$\alpha =\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}$

$\alpha =\dfrac{0-62.83}{10}$

$\alpha =-6.283\ rad/s^2$

Let $\theta$ is the number of revolutions of the grindstone after the power is shut off. Now using the third equation of rotational kinematics as :

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta$

$\theta=\dfrac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha }$

$\theta=\dfrac{-62.83^2}{2\times -6.283}$

$\theta=314.15\ radian$

$\theta=49.99\ revolution$

$\theta=50\ revolution$

So, the number of revolutions of the grindstone after the power is shut off is 50.

Determine the maximum theoretical speed that may be achieved over a distance of 66 m by a car starting from rest, knowing that t

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

v=32.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance ,d= 66 m

Initial speed of the car ,u = 0 m/s

Coefficient of friction ,μ = 0.8

Lets take the total mass of the car = m

The acceleration of the car is given as

a = μ g ( g= 10 m/s² )

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

a= 0.8 x 10 m/s²

a= 8 m/s²

We know that ,final speed is given as

v²= u ²+ 2 a d

Now putting the value

v²=0² + 2 x 8 x 66

v²= 1056

v=32.49 m/s

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

nalin [4]

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.
