What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair. the latitude of corvallis is 44.4˚.?

1 answer:

8 0

You can start with the equations you know

a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2

Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds
Latitude = 44.4 degrees

If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r.

r=Rcos(44.4)
r=6378.1cos(44.4)
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m

Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above...

a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9
a= .0241 m/s^2

What is electromagnetic indiction

lora16 [44]

Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction.

Two identical satellites are in orbit about the earth. One orbit has a radius r and the other 2r. The centripetal force on the s

velikii [3]

Answer:

the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

Explanation:

Mass of satellite, m

orbit radius of first, r1 = r

orbit radius of second, r2 = 2r

Centripetal force is given by

$F= \frac{mv^{2}}{r}$
