What is the average speed in mi/h of a person at the equator as a result of the Earths rotation? (Take the radius of the Earth to be RE = 4000 mi.)
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
The earth orbits the sun once a year (3.16 107 seconds) in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.5-10¹¹m. a) Assuming the earth travels at a constant speed, determine that speed. (Hint: Average speed distance / time. Distance around a circle is called the circumference of the circle.) VEarth = m/s b) Determine the size of the centripetal acceleration of the earth. m ac = c) Determine the size of the net centripetal force needed to keep the earth orbiting the sun. What is its direction? Fret N
