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

and g = ago at the equator (with 0 < a < 1). find g(9), the freefall acceleration at colatitude 9 as a function of 9.

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)\\&#10;g_0=g'\\&#10;g(0)=ag_0;\ ag_0=g_0-w^2rcos^2(0)\\&#10;ag_0=g_0-w^2r\\&#10;w^2r=g_0(a-1)&#10;
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)

How does a swimmers form affect the kinetic and potential energy’s?
oee [108]

When a swimmer is submerged into the water, the Gravitation energy is transformed into Kinetic Energy instead. Consequently, this also means that when the diver/swimmer chooses to get out of the water and becomes free from the water again, Potential Energy is restored. This is because it allows the swimmer to do further tasks.

Hope :) -Emilie Xo this is right and it helps! Xo

Which is true regarding AC current? The electrons move back and forth. The +/- polarity is constant. It is common in portable de
andre [41]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

AC current stands for alternating current. In an alternating current there is periodically reverse movement of current.

This means electrons move in one direction for a certain time and then they reverse their movement for the same time period and it continues in the back and forth position.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement electrons move back and forth is true regarding AC current.

Rays traveling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a ray travelling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror then the light ray reflect out through the mirrors and passing through the focus.

When a light ray travelling through focus of a concave mirror then after reflection the light ray reflect out through the mirror and  go parallel to principle axis.

Therefore, rays travelling parallel to the principle axis of a  concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus.

It is true.
