From the information given in the drawing, it's not possible
to tell whether the displacements are equal, because we
don't know what the vectors represent.

If the vectors are distances, then the displacements are not
equal, because the distance between the start and end points
are not equal.

If the vectors are speeds, then they don't tell us anything about
the distance between the start and end points, so we can't calculate
the displacements.

Answer:

The displacements are not equal. Their direction is the same but their length is not because A is longer than B.

Can't really plot a graph here for question 1.

2a) The car speeds up from A to B. The car travels at a constant speed from B to C. The car slows down to a stop from C to D.

b) From the graph, at 10 seconds, the car is moving at 20 m/s.

Why does the earth bulge at the equator?

sattari [20]

centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wavelength as the rate of change of the speed of the wave over the frequency. Mathematically this is
