The Earth’s radius is 6378.1 kilometers. If you were standing at the equator, you are essentially undergoing uniform circular mo

tion with the radius of your circular motion being equal to the radius of the Earth. You are an evil mad scientist and have come up with the simultaneously awesome and terrifying plan to increase the speed of the Earth’s rotation until people at the Earth’s equator experience a centripetal (radial) acceleration with a magnitude equal to g, (9.81 m/s2 ), effectively making them experience weightlessness. If you succeed in your dastardly plan, what would be the new period of the Earth’s rotation?
a. 2.7 minutes b. 84 minutes c. 48 minutes d. 76 minutes

Answer:

b. 84 minutes

Explanation:

a_c=g = Centripetal acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

r = Radius of Earth = 6378.1 km

v = Velocity

Centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{a_cr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{9.81\times 6378100}\\\Rightarrow v=7910.06706\ m/s

Time period is given by

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v60}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{2\pi 6378.1\times 10^3}{7910.06706\times 60}\\\Rightarrow T=84.43835\ minutes

The time period of Earth’s rotation would be 84.43835 minutes

Answer:

D.-4.798m/s

Explanation:

Greetings !

Given values

u= 4ms \\ a = 0.21ms {}^{2}  \\ t = 3.8sec

Solve for V of the given expression

Firstly, recall the velocity-time equation

v = u + at

plug in known values to the equation

v = (4) + (0.21)(3.8)

solve for final velocity

v = 4.792ms

Hope it helps!

A falcon can descend with a speed 250 km/h. If a falcon flies at this speed for 2.0 s and then flies a 100 m in 2.5 s, what is t
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

v= s/t

Explanation:

250 km/ h =69.44m/s

S1=2 times 69.44 ≈ 139m

Next 2.5 seconds:

S2 = 100m

Average speed:

v=139m+100m/2s+2.5s = 239/4.5s = 53.2 m/s=192km/h
