Our usual frame of reference is the surface of the Earth, which is actually a non-inertial reference frame since the Earth is spinning! In other words we are constantly accelerating, since we travel in a circle around Earth's rotation axis. For the questions below assume the Earth is spherical with a radius of 3959 miles and the latitude of Los Angeles is approximately 34°. a) How much lighter will a scale read a 70 kg70 kg person's weight standing at...

The earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, which are charged particles from outer space. Find the force on one such cosmic ray—a proton that is instantaneously moving vertically downward at v = 1.40×107 m/s at a point outside the atmosphere over New York, where the magnetic field dips 74.0° below the horizontal and has a horizontal component of approximately 2.00×10−5 T. Give the equation used for finding the magnitude of the magnetic force on a particle in terms of...
