(a) Suppose that your measured weight at the equator is one-half your measured weight at the pole on a planet whose mass and dia

meter are equal to those of Earth. What is the rotational period of the planet?

Answer:

7160.2812 s or 1.988 hours

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

R = Radius of Earth = 6.37\times 10^{6}\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\omega = Angular speed

Force at equator would be

F_e=m(g-\omega^2R)

Force at pole

F_p=mg

From the question

F_e=\dfrac{1}{2}F_p\\\Rightarrow m(g-\omega^2R)=\dfrac{1}{2}F_p\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{2R}}

Time period is given by

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{2R}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.37\times 10^6}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=7160.2812\ s=1.988\ hours

The rotational period of the planet is 7160.2812 s or 1.988 hours

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:14.14 cm

Explanation:

Given

Spring Compression x=12 cm

Potential energy Stored in spring=72 J

Suppose k is the spring constant of spring

Potential Energy of spring is given by =\frac{kx^2}{2}

\frac{k(0.12)^2}{2}=72

k(0.12)^2=144

k=10,000 N/m

k=10 kN/m

for 100 J energy

\frac{k(x_0)^2}{2}=100

10\times 10^3\cdot (x_0)^2=200

(x_0)^2=2\times 10^{-2}

x_0=0.1414

x_0=14.14 cm
