Suppose the ice caps at the South and North poles melted due to the global warming and the water was distributed uniformly over

the earth's oceans. Would the earth angular velocity increase, decrease, or remain the same? Would each day get shorted or longer as compared to the current days? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Earth rotates about its axis once a day. Instead, the rate of rotation varies by up to a millisecond per day. The speed of the Earth’s rotation will increase if its mass is brought closer to its axis of rotation, that is net movement of mass. Conversely, the speed of the Earth’s rotation will decrease if its mass is moved away from the rotation axis.

Yes the days would be longer. Since the ice that was at the South Pole is now distributed around the world, there is a change in the distribution of mass.

A compact car has a mass of 1380 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that
astraxan [27]

Answer:

A) k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}

B) \omega'\approx84\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, m=1380\ kg

A)

frequency of spring oscillation, f=1.6\ Hz

We knkow the formula for spring oscillation frequency:

\omega=2\pi.f

\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{m} } =2\pi.f

\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{1380} } =2\times \pi\times 1.6

k_{eq}=139469.3537\ N.m^{-1}

Now as we know that the springs are in parallel and their stiffness constant gets added up in parallel.

<u>So, the stiffness of each spring is (as they are identical):</u>

k=\frac{k_{eq}}{4}

k=\frac{139469.3537}{4}

k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}

B)

given that 4 passengers of mass 70 kg each are in the car, then the oscillation frequency:

\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{(m+70\times 4)} }

\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{139469.3537}{(1380+280)} }

\omega'\approx84\ Hz
