Why does the world rotate and never makes us feel it move?

2 answers:

The earth moves too slow for us to feel it. If the earth moved fast time would move faster, meaning we would move faster. We have adapted to our current living situation over millions of years. We have been used to it our entire lives.

-- The Earth is rotating HALF as fast as the hour hand on a clock ... one full rotation in 24 hours. Too slow to feel.

-- The Earth takes about 4 minutes to rotate ONE DEGREE (out of 360). Too slow to feel.

Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500 square millimeters. The Young's m

Reil [10]

Answer:

$\Delta l=0.015m$

Explanation:

We have given initial length of the steel guitar l = 1 m

Cross sectional area $A=0.5mm^2=0.5\times 10^{-6}m^2$

Young's modulus $\gamma=2\times 10^{11}Pa$

Force F = 1500 N

So stress $=\frac{force}{area}=\frac{1500}{0.5\times 10^{-6}}=3000\times 10^{-6}=3\times 10^{9}Pa$

We know that young's modulus $=\frac{stress}{strain}$

So $2\times 10^{11}=\frac{3\times 10^{9}}{strain}$

$strain=1.5\times 10^{-2}=0.015m$

Now strain $=\frac{\Delta l}{l}$

$0.015=\frac{\Delta l}{1}$

$\Delta l=0.015m$

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 24 kg , sit in seats opposite one another, what is the moment of inertia about the rot

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one child = 16 kg

Mass of second child = 24 kg

Suppose a playground toy has two seats, each 6.1 kg, attached to very light rods of length r = 1.5 m.

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=I_{1}+I_{2}$

$I=(m+m_{1})\times r^2+(m+m_{2})\times r^2$

m = mass of seat

m₁ =mass of one child

m₂ = mass of second child

r = radius of rod

Put the value into the formula

$I=(16+6.1)\times(1.5)^2+(24+6.1)\times(1.5)^2$

$I=117.45\ kg-m^2$

Hence, The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

A distant planet with a mass of (7.2000x10^26) has a moon with a mass of (5.0000x10^23). The distance between the planet and the

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

$F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

$F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2}$ I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

$F_g=\frac{2.4012*10^{40}}{3.721*10^{23}}$ and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:

$Fg=$ 6.45 × 10¹⁶ N
