The earth rotates once per day about an axis passing through the north and south poles, an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the equator. Assuming the earth is a sphere with a radius of 6.38 x 10 m, determine the speed and centripetal acceleration of a person situated (a) at the equator and (b) at a latitude of 65.0 ° north of the equator
A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle of radius 0.254 m. The plane of the circle is 1.31 m above the ground. The string breaks and the ball lands 2.16 m away from the point on the ground directly beneath the ball’s location when the string breaks. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Find the centripetal acceleration of the ball during its circular motion.

A tennis ball connected to a string of radius 0.80 m is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed of 2.5 m/s. When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, what is the magnitude of its acceleration? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
