Why does the gravitational field strength increase with latitude

1 answer:

4 0

The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re

spayn [35]

The magnitude of the electric field can be calculated using the equation

$E = \frac{F}{q}$ , where F is the Force acting on the proton and q is the charge of the proton.

We know that the charge of the proton is $q = 1.6 x 10^{-19} C$

We have to calculate the Force first.

We know that F = ma from Newton's 2nd law, where m is the mass of the proton and a is the acceleration.

We know that the mass of the proton $m = (1.67) X 10^{-27} kg$

So it turns out that we have to calculate acceleration before anything else.

In order to calculate the acceleration, we make use of the following data from the question:

Initial Velocity of the proton $V_{i} = 0$

Distance traveled $D = 1.70 cm$ = 0.017 m

Time taken for the travel between the plates $t = (1.48) X 10^{-6} s$

Acceleration a = ?

Using the equation, $D = V_{i}t + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ , we get

Knowing that initial velocity is 0, the equation reduces to $D = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Rearranging the equation so as to make a the subject of the formula, we have

$a = \frac{2D}{t^{2} }$

Plugging in the numbers and simplifying gives us a = 1.5 x $10^{10} m/s^{2}$

We can now calculate the Force using F = ma

Plugging in the known values, we get F = 2.5 x $10^{-17} N$

Using this, we can calculate E through the equation $E = \frac{F}{q}$

Plugging the numbers and simplifying gets us E = 156.25 N/C

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the capacitor is 156.25 N/C

B) To calculate the Final Velocity of the proton, we can make use of the equation

$V_{f} = V_{i} + at$

Plugging the numbers in and simplifying gets us $V_{f} = (2.22) * 10^{4} m/s$
