Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, so that objects on its surface execute uniform circular motion about the axis wit

h a period of 24 hours. Consider only the effect of this rotation on the person on the surface. (Ignore Earth's orbital motion about the Sun.) (a) What is the speed and what is the magnitude of the acceleration of a person standing on the equator?

Answer:

v=1667.9km/h

a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth C=2\pi R, where R=6371km is the radius of the Earth.

We have then:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi R}{t}=\frac{2\pi (6371km)}{(24h)}=1667.9km/h

And then we use the centripetal acceleration formula:

a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{(1667.9km/h)^2}{(6371km)}=436.6km/h^2

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by _____.\
bonufazy [111]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
  • <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface.  The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
  • Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.
