Question

For this problem, look up a necessary astronomical values to at least 3 significant figures What would linear tangential speed, due to the Earth's rotation, if you were located on the Earth's be your equator? Show your work. [How would you find the linear speed of someone located in Honolulu or Seattle WA, or Anchorage AK? What is the linear speed of someone standing at the North Pole?] While located on the equator, what is the magnitude and direction of your centripetal acceleration (the acceleration needed to keep you moving in a circle on the Earth as it rotates)? Convert your final answer to goes. (1 gee = 9.80 m/s^2_ Show your work. Suppose that you have a mass of 75.00 kg. While located on the equator, what must be the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on you, in order to create your centripetal acceleration? Name the two physical forces whose vector addition creates this net force, and give the magnitude and direction of each. Show your work. [Suppose you were to stand on a bathroom scale on the equator. Due to the rotation of the Earth, how much less than your true weight would the scale read?]

Explanation / Answer

a) linea rspped v = r*w

w is the angular spped of earth about itsd axis

b) centripetal acceleration a = v^2/r

direction to wards the cente of an earth

c) N-mg =- ma

N = m(g-a)

a = centripetal acceleratio

force is acting towards the center
