Answer:

25,500J

Explanation:

KE =1/2 mv^2

Mass=1200kg

Velocity =42.5m/s

KE = 1/2 x 1200 x 42.5

=25,500J

On a certain planet, which is perfectly spherically symmetric, the free-fall acceleration has magnitude g = go at the north pole

ohaa [14]

The reason why there is a difference between free-fall acceleration is a centrifugal force.
I attached a diagram that shows how this force aligns with the force of gravity.
From the diagram we can see that:
$F=F_g-F_{cf}=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ ma=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ a=g'-w^2rcos^2(\alpha)\\$
Where g' is the free-fall acceleration when there is no centrifugal force, r is the radius of the planet, and w is angular frequency of planet's rotation. $\alpha$ is the latitude.
We can calculate g' and wr^2 from the given conditions in the problem.
$g(90)=g_0;\ g_0= g'-w^2rcos^2(90)\\
g_0=g'\\
g(0)=ag_0;\ ag_0=g_0-w^2rcos^2(0)\\
ag_0=g_0-w^2r\\
w^2r=g_0(a-1)
$
Our final equation is:
$g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(\alpha)$
Colatitude is:
$\alpha_c=90^\circ-\alpha$
The answer is:
$g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(90-9)=g_0-g_0(a-1)sin^2(9)$
