II As the earth rotates, what is the speed of (a) a physics student in Miami, Florida, at latitude , and (b) a physics student in Fairbanks, Alaska, at latitude ? Ignore the revolution of the earth around the sun. The radius of the earth is .
A stunt man drives a car at a speed of 20 m/s off a 30-m-high cliff. The road leading to the cliff is inclined upward at an angle of 20°.
a. How far from the base of the cliff does the car land?
b. What is the car’s impact speed?
You’ve been assigned the task of using a shaft encoder a device that measures the angle of a shaft or axle and provides a signal to a computer to analyze the rotation of an engine crankshaft under certain conditions. The table lists the crankshaft’s angles over a interval.
Is the crankshaft rotating with uniform circular motion? If so, what is its angular velocity in rpm? If not, is the angular acceleration positive or negative?
On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle above the horizontal.
a. How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth?
b. For how much more time was the ball in flight?
