Document Summary

5. 3 the earth has a radius of 6. 4 106 m ad completes one revolution about its axis in 24 h. (a) find the speed of a point on the equator. (b) find the speed of new york city. T = 24h = 86, 400 s (a) we want to nd the tangential speed of a point at the equator. = 465 m/s (b) new york city has a latitude of 40. 7 so the radius of its orbit will not be the full radius of the earth (see the gure for problem 5. 9 below). The radius of its orbit will be: r = re cos 40. 7 = 4. 85 106 m. vny = 5. 6 consider the motion of the hand of a mechanical clock. T = 60 min = 3600 s r = 0. 060 m. We want to nd the centripetal acceleration, ac. Use equations 5. 5 and 5. 1. (cid:18) 2 r (cid:19)2.
