The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in

rad/s) of the earth as it (a) spins on its axis and (b) orbits the sun. In each case, take the positive direction for the angular displacement to be the direction of the earth's motion.

Answer:

Given that

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days)

a)

When earth spins on its axis

We know that earth take 1 day to complete one revolution around its own axis.

T= 1 day = 24 hr = 24 x 3600 s

T=86400 s

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/86400

ω=7.27 x 10⁻5 rad/s

b)

When earth revolve around earth

T =365 1/4 days = 365.25 days

T= 365.24 x 86400 s

T=31557600

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/31557600

ω=1.99 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s

Answer:

(a) 7.27\times 10^{- 5}\ rad/s

(b) 1.99\times 10^{- 7}\ rad/s

Solution:

As per the question:

The time period of the Earth's spin on its axis, T = 1 day

1 day = 24\times 60\times 60 = 86400\ s

Now,

(a) The Earth's average angular velocity is given by:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{86400} = 7.27\times 10^{- 5}\ rad/s

(b) Time period for orbiting the sun, T':

T' = 365 \frac{1}{4} = 365.25\ days

T' = 365.25\times 24\times 60\times 60 = 3.1557\times 10^{7}\ s

Angular velocity, \omega':

\omega' = \frac{2\pi}{T'} = \frac{2\pi}{3.1557\times 10^{7}} = 1.99\times 10^{- 7}\ rad/s

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

A point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.

                         

Explanation:

We can find the distance with the following equation since the acceleration is cero (the disk rotates at a constant rate):

d = v*t

Where:

v: is the tangential speed of the disk

t: is the time = 30 s  

The tangential speed can be found as follows:

v = \omega*r

Where:

ω: is the angular speed = 100 rpm

r: is the radius = 50 cm = 0.50 m

v = \omega*r = 100 \frac{rev}{min}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}*\frac{1 min}{60 s}*0.50 m = 5.24 m/s    

Now, the distance traveled by the disk is:

d = v*t = 5.24 m/s*30 s = 157.2 m

Therefore, a point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.

I hope it helps you!

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  • 59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

<u>1. 18 mph 327º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

  • Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

  • Vector notation:

       15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j

<u>2. 4 mph 60º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

  • Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

  • Vector notation:

       2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j

<u>3. Addition:</u>

You add the corresponding components:

15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

  • \sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23

<u>4. Direction:</u>

Use the tangent ratio:

  • tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73

Find the inverse:

  • arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º
