Answer:
a) τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m
b) E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J
c) P = 3.25511*10^21 W
Explanation:
Given:
- The radius of earth r = 6.3781×10^6 m
- The angular speed of earth w = 7.27*10^-5 rad/s
- The time taken to reach above speed t = 5 yrs = 1.57784760 * 10^8 s
- The mass of earth m = 5.972 × 10^24 kg
- The inertia of sphere I = 2/5 * m* r^2
Solution:
- The angular acceleration of the earth from rest to w is given by α:
α = w / t
α = (7.27*10^-5) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)
α = 4.60754*10^-13 rad/s^2
- The required torque τ is given by:
τ = I*α
τ = 2/5 * m* r^2 * α
τ = 2/5 *(5.972 × 10^24) * (6.3781×10^6)^2 * (4.60754*10^-13)
τ = 4.47746 * 10^25 N-m
- The power required P to turn the earth to the speed w is:
P = τ*w
P = (4.47746 * 10^25)*(7.27*10^-5)
P = 3.25511*10^21 W
- The energy E required is :
E = P / t
E = (3.25511*10^21) / (1.57784760 * 10^8)
E = 2.06301 * 10^13 J
The correct answer is C , because the space is vacuum and his body can explode and for this reason, the astronaut need a special costum to be protected. It's the same on the moon, because there is no atmosphere
land forms are made by water wind and Tectonic plate movements under the earth.
Answer:
The angular momentum of the solid sphere is 0.667 kgm²/s
Explanation:
Given;
radius of the solid sphere, r = 0.15 m
mass of the sphere, m = 13 kg
angular speed of the sphere, ω = 5.70 rad/s
The angular momentum of the solid sphere is given;
L = Iω
Where;
I is the moment of inertia of the solid sphere
ω is the angular speed of the solid sphere
The moment of inertia of solid sphere is given by;
I = ²/₅mr²
I = ²/₅ x (13 x 0.15²)
I = 0.117 kg.m²
The angular momentum of the solid sphere is calculated as;
L = Iω
L = 0.117 x 5.7
L = 0.667 kgm²/s
Therefore, the angular momentum of the solid sphere is 0.667 kgm²/s
