The reason why there is a difference between free-fall acceleration is a centrifugal force.
I attached a diagram that shows how this force aligns with the force of gravity.
From the diagram we can see that:

Where g' is the free-fall acceleration when there is no centrifugal force, r is the radius of the planet, and w is angular frequency of planet's rotation.

is the latitude.
We can calculate g' and wr^2 from the given conditions in the problem.

Our final equation is:

Colatitude is:

The answer is:
Answer:
14 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the book is a free fall motion, so it is an uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. Therefore we can find the final velocity by using the equation:

where
u = 0 is the initial speed
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration
d = 10.0 m is the distance covered by the book
Substituting data, we find

Answer:
All the competitors will move with the same velocity.
Explanation:
Here, the situations for each competitor are identical. Thus, they will exert the same force and hence, their velocities at each instants will be identical.
Answer:
9.8m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of the ball thrown after leaving my hand is 9.8m/s². This will be the acceleration due to gravity on the body.
- Acceleration due to gravity is caused by the pull of the earth on a massive object.
- The value of this acceleration is 9.8m/s².
- As the ball nears the surface, it comes near zero.
Answer:
147 J
Explanation:
The energy transferred to potential energy is :
U = m * g * h = (5 kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) * (3 m) = 147 J
