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

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

θ = sin⁻¹\sqrt{2gd}

Explanation:

From one of the equations of motion, v² = u² + 2as.......... equation 1

Since the object thrown was moving against gravity, then the acceleration, a would change to -g and the initial velocity u would change to V₀ sin θ because the object is travelling at angle of θ to the horizontal. By inputting all these parameter into equation 1, we would arrive at:

v² = (u sin θ)² - 2gd

(u sin θ)² = 2gd

d = (u sin θ)²/2g

sin² θ = 2gd

sin θ = \sqrt{2gd}

θ = sin⁻¹ \sqrt{2gd}

Two identical cylinders at the same pressure contain the same gas. if cylinder a contains three times as much gas as cylinder b,
Alborosie

By ideal gas theory, cylinder b has the higher temperature.

We need to know about the ideal gas theory to solve this problem. The ideal gas can be represented by

P . V = n . R . T

where P is the pressure, V is volume, n is the number of molecules, R is the ideal gas constant and T is temperature.

From the question above, we know that

Pa = Pb = P

na = 3nb

Find the temperature of the cylinder a

P . V = n . R . Ta

Ta = P . V /( na . R )

Substitute na

Ta = P . V /( (3nb) . R )

Ta = (1/3) x (P . V /( (nb . R ))

Find the temperature of the cylinder b

P . V = n . R . Tb

Tb = P . V /( nb . R )

The cylinder a temperature is 3 times smaller than the temperature in cylinder b.
