<span>It takes 6.78 seconds for the coin to hit the bottom of the well. We can use the equation h = 0.5gt^2, where h is the height of the coin, g is the gravitational constant of 9.8m/s^2, and t is the time is takes for the coin to hit the bottom of the well. Solve for t to obtain 6.87 seconds.</span>

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours. What is the earth's angular speed? What is the speed of a point
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

a) w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s

b) v1 = 463.1 m/s

c) v1 = 440.433 m/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The radius of the earth,  R = 6.37 * 10 ^6 m

- The time period for 1 revolution T = 24 hrs

Find:

What is the earth's angular speed?

What is the speed of a point on the equator?

What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 1/5 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator?

Solution:

- The angular speed w of the earth can be related with the Time period T of the earth revolution by:

                                  w = 2π / T

                                  w = 2π / 24*3600

                                  w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s

- The speed of the point on the equator v1 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.

                                 v1 = R*w

                                 v1 = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*(7.27 * 10^-5)

                                 v1 = 463.1 m/s

- The angle θ subtended by a point on earth's surface 1/5 th between the equator and the pole wrt equator is.

                                 π/2  ........... s

                                 x     ............ 1/5 s

                                 x = π/2*5 = 18°    

- The radius of the earth R' at point where θ = 18° from the equator is:

                                R' = R*cos(18)

                                R' = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*cos(18)

                                R' = 6058230.0088 m

- The speed of the point where θ = 18° from the equator v2 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.

                              v2 = R'*w

                              v2 = (6058230.0088)*(7.27 * 10^-5)

                              v2 = 440.433 m/s

A space probe lands on a newly discovered planet. A small canister is released from the probe and falls a distance of 3 m in 0.5
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

24m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 3m

Time of fall = 0.5sec

Required

Acceleration due to gravity

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

3 = 0+1/2g(0.5)²

3 = 1/2(0.25)g

3 = 0.125g

g = 3/0.125

g = 24

Hence the value for the acceleration of gravity on this new planet is 24m/s²

__________ carries carcinogens into the lungs
larisa [96]
Tobacco smoking is an unhealthy habit which can cause cancer due to the presence of more than 5000 chemicals, some of which are carcinogens (a chemical that causes cancer). It is the smoke itself, that carries carcinogens to the lungs and can eventually lead to the development of diseases such as lung cancer.
