Hello there.
<span>
At ground level g is 9.8m/s^2. Suppose the earth started to increase its angular velocity. How long would a day be when people on the equator were just 'thrown off'? Why is the expression 'thrown off' a bad one ?

People would not be thrown off.

Let s = rate of rotation 
<span>Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km </span>
<span>Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. </span>
<span>People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.</span>

A 4.00-kg mass is attached to a very light ideal spring hanging vertically and hangs at rest in the equilibrium position. The sp
Ahat [919]

Answer:

|v| = 8.7 cm/s

Explanation:

given:

mass m = 4 kg

spring constant k = 1 N/cm = 100 N/m

at time t = 0:

amplitude A = 0.02m

unknown: velocity v at position y = 0.01 m

y = A cos(\omega t + \phi)\\v = -\omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

1. Finding Ф from the initial conditions:

-0.02 = 0.02cos(0 + \phi) => \phi = \pi

2. Finding time t at position y = 1 cm:

0.01 =0.02cos(\omega t + \pi)\\ \frac{1}{2}=cos(\omega t + \pi)\\t=(acos(\frac{1}{2})-\pi)\frac{1}{\omega}

3. Find velocity v at time t from equation 2:

v =-0.02\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}sin(acos(\frac{1}{2}))

A rod of mass M = 2.95 kg and length L can rotate about a hinge at its left end and is initially at rest. A putty ball of mass m
madam [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

angular momentum of the putty about the point of rotation

= mvR   where m is mass , v is velocity of the putty and R is perpendicular distance between line of velocity and point of rotation .

= .045 x 4.23 x 2/3 x .95 cos46

= .0837 units

moment of inertia of rod = ml² / 3 , m is mass of rod and l is length

= 2.95 x .95² / 3

I₁ = .8874 units

moment of inertia of rod + putty

I₁ + mr²

m is mass of putty and r is distance where it sticks

I₂  = .8874 + .045 x (2 x .95 / 3)²

I₂ = .905

Applying conservation of angular momentum

angular momentum of putty = final angular momentum of rod+ putty

.0837 = .905 ω

ω is final angular velocity of rod + putty

ω = .092 rad /s .

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45-m-diamete
Margarita [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the semicircle, d = 45 m

Radius of the semicircle, r = 22.5 m      

Speed of greyhound, v = 15 m/s

The greyhound is moving under the action of centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(15)^2}{22.5}

a=10\ m/s^2

We know that, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{10\times g}{9.8}

a=1.02\ g

Hence, this is the required solution.
