I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
1 answer:
If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula
Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.
In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle .
Vector A is in the 4th quadrant
So:
So:
So:
= -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °
= 313 °

<h2>Answer:</h2>
Torque = <em>2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm</em>
Energy = <em>3.54 x 10³³ J</em>
Average power = <em>1.02 x 10²⁸ W</em>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>(a) Torque (τ) is the rotational effect of a given force.
It is given by
τ = I x α -------------(i)
Where;
I = rotational inertia of the object
α = angular acceleration of the object.
In this case, the object is the Earth. Therefore,
I = 9.71 x 10³⁷ kg m²
α = ω / t
Where;
ω = angular velocity of earth = 2π rad / day
<em>Since </em>
<em>1 day = 24 hours and 1 hour = 3600seconds</em>
<em>1 day = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400seconds</em>
<em>=> ω = 2π rad / 86400seconds</em>
<em>=> ω = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s</em>
<em />
t = 4 days = 4 x 24 x 3600 seconds = 345600 seconds
=> α = ω / t
=> α = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ / 345600
=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵) / (3.456 x 10⁵)
=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵⁻⁵) / (3.456)
=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻¹⁰) / (3.456)
=> α = 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰ rad/s²
Now substitute the values of I and α into equation (i)
τ = 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰
τ = 9.71 x 10²⁷ x 2.11
τ = 20.5 x 10²⁷ Nm
τ = 2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm
(ii) The energy (rotational energy) E is given by;
E = x I x ω
E = x 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 7.29 × 10⁻⁵
E = 35.4 x 10³² J
E = 3.54 x 10³³ J
(iii) The average power P, is given by;
P = E / t
P = 3.54 x 10³³ / 345600
P = 1.02 x 10²⁸ W
