The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants. Mass of the Earth: 5.97 × 10^24 kg (assume a uniform mass distribution) Radius of the Earth: 6371 km Distance of Earth from Sun: 149,600,000 km
(i)Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to rotation about its axis, in joules.
(ii)What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the Sun, in joules?
Answer:
(i) KE= 2.56e29 J
(ii) KE= 2.65e33 J
Explanation:
i) Treating the Earth as a solid sphere, its moment of inertia about its axis is
I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.97e24kg * (6.371e6m)²
I = 9.69e37 kg·m²
About its axis,
ω = 2π rads/day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s
ω= 7.27e-5 rad/s,
so its rotational kinetic energy
KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 9.69e37kg·m² * (7.27e-5rad/s)²
KE= 2.56e29 J
(ii) About the sun,
I = mR²
I= 5.97e24kg * (1.496e11m)²
I= 1.336e47 kg·m²
and the angular velocity
ω = 2π rad/yr * 1yr/365.25day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s
ω= 1.99e-7 rad/s
so
KE = ½ * 1.336e47kg·m² * (1.99e-7rad/s)²
KE= 2.65e33 J
consider the motion along the horizontal direction :
v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s
X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m
a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²
t = time taken to land = ?
using the kinematics equation
X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²
t = 2/3
consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction
v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s
Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h
a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²
t = time taken to land = 2/3
using the kinematics equation
Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²
h = 2.2 m
C 2.2 m
Answer:
16.4287
Explanation:
The force and displacement are related by Hooke's law:
F = kΔx
The period of oscillation of a spring/mass system is:
T = 2π√(m/k)
First, find the value of k:
F = kΔx
78 N = k (98 m)
k = 0.796 N/m
Next, find the mass of the unknown weight.
F = kΔx
m (9.8 m/s²) = (0.796 N/m) (67 m)
m = 5.44 kg
Finally, find the period.
T = 2π√(m/k)
T = 2π√(5.44 kg / 0.796 N/m)
T = 16.4287 s
The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain
