Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The angular speed about the polar axis of a point on earth鈥檚 surface at latitude 400N is 7.310-5rads.
  2. The linear speed of the point v is3.5102ms .
  3. The angular speed for a point at the equator is7.310-5rads
  4. Linear speed v for a point at the equator v is, 4.6102ms.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

The polar axis of a point on Earth鈥檚 surface at latitude 400N

02

Concept and Formula used for the given question

By using formulas for linear speed vand angular speed 蝇, we can find thelinear speed vand angular speed 蝇 of earth at latitude and at equator. The formulas are given below.

  1. The linear speed visv=r
  2. The angular speed of earth is=2T

Where, T istheperiod of earth.

(a) Calculation for the angular speed v about the polar axis of a point on the Earth’s surface latitude 40° N.

The linear speed of a point on the earth鈥檚 surface depends on its distance from the axis of rotation. For linear speed, we have

v=r

where, r is the radius of its orbit.

A point on earth at latitude of 400 moves along a circular path of radius

r=Rcos400

Where, R is earth鈥檚 radius andR=6.4106m

On the other hand,r=Rat the equator.

We know that earth makes one rotation per day and

1d=24hrs=246060s=8.64104s

So, the angular speed of the earth is given by,

=28.64104s=7.310-5rads

Hence the angular speed is, 7.310-5rads

Step 3: (b) Calculation for the linear speed v of the point

At the latitude of 400, the linear speed is

v=rv=Rcos400

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

v=7.310-5rads6.4106尘脳cos400v=3.5102ms

Hence the value of linear speed is, 3.5102ms.

Step 3: (c) Calculation for the role="math" localid="1660897430122"

We know that at all points on the earth, the value of angular speed is the same. Hence,at equator, the value of is

=7.310-5rads

Hence the value of is, 7.310-5rads.

Step 3: (d) Calculation for the v for a point at the equator

The latitude at the equator is 00. Hence, the speed is given by

v=rv=R

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1660897847675" v=7.310-5rads6.4106mv=4.6102ms

Hence the value of v is, 4.6102ms.

The body in Fig. 10-39is pivoted at O, and two forces act on it as shown. If r1= 1.30m ,r2= 2.15m , F1=4.20N , F2 = 4.90N , 2=175.0o , and 2=60.0o, what is the net torque about the pivot?

The masses and coordinates of four particles are as follows:50g,x=2.0cm,y=2.0cm;25g,x=0cm,y=4.0cm;25g,x=-3.0cm,y=-3.0cm;30g,x=-2.0,y=4.0cm.

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of200蟺谤补诲/s. Suppose that one such flywheel is a solid, uniform cylinder with a mass of 500kg and a radius of 1.0m. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the flywheel after charging? (b) If the truck uses an average power of 8.0kW, for how many minutes can it operate between chargings?

At 7:14A.M. on June 30,1908, a huge explosion 1 occurred above remote central Siberia, at latitude 61Nand longitude 102E; the fireball thus created was the brightest flash seen by anyone before nuclear weapons. The Tunguska Event, which according to one chance witness 鈥渃overed an enormous part of the sky,鈥 was probably the explosion of a stony asteroid about140m wide. (a) Considering only Earth鈥檚 rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above Helsinki at longitude 25E. This would have obliterated the city. (b) If the asteroid had, instead, been a metallic asteroid, it could have reached Earth鈥檚 surface. How much later would such an asteroid have had to arrive to put the impact in the Atlantic Ocean at longitude20W ? (The resulting tsunamis would have wiped out coastal civilization on both sides of the Atlantic.)
