- 1. Neglecting the latitudinal variation in the radius of the earth, derive a formula for the angle a between the gravitational acceleration vector go and the effective gravity Jeff at the surface of the earth as a function of latitude o. [Draw a labelled diagram showing the Earth with go, Jeff and the centrifugal acceleration at latitude ø. Be careful to identify all dependence on o.] At what latitude is the angle a a maximum and what is its maximum value? Next, derive a formula relating Jeff ² to go and , and use it to prove that ef≈ go for any o. Find the ratio of the maximum centrifugal acceleration to go.

If the maximum speed of the raft to avoid airborne(and the fatal accident) is 22.7 miles/hr, what is the radius of the second hump(drop) as an arch, in unit of meter?arrow_forwardA roller-coaster car has a mass of 1120 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill of radius 21 m, its speed is not changing. (a) At the top of the hill, what is the normal force (using the negative sign for the downward direction) FN on the car from the track if the car's speed is v = 7.6 m/s? (b) What is EN if v = 19 m/s? Use g=9.81 m/s².arrow_forward

The radius of the circle is, r, meters and the stopper has a mass of, m, grams. The stopper has period of, T, seconds, which results in a tension, 6.3 N. If the radius of the swing was changed by a factor of 2.4, what would be the resulting tension?
