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

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? (Hint: what is the radius of the circle in which the point moves?)

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 transparent oil with index of refraction 1.28 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The thickness of the oil slick is 1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Index of refraction = 1.28

Wave length = 500 nm

Order m = 1

We need to calculate the thickness of oil slick

Using formula of thickness

2nt= m\lambda

Where, n = Index of refraction

t = thickness

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

2\times1.28 \times t=1\times\times500\times10^{-9}

t = \dfrac{1\times\times500\times10^{-9}}{2\times1.28 }

t=1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

Hence, The thickness of the oil slick is 1.95\times10^{-7}\ m

The mass of a planet is 3.7 x 1024 kg. If the planet has a radius of 9.2 x 106 m what is the acceleration of gravity for a perso
nalin [4]

Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg

Radius of a planet, R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}

g=2.91\ m/s^2

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
