Answer #1

Assumptions:-

Radius fo the earth   or  

It completes one rotation per stellar day is or  

Part-a

Angular speed will be  

Part-b

At the given point the radius will be  

Now the linear speed at this point will be

by plugging all the values we get

Part-c

The angular speed at all points on the Earth's surface will remain same therefore the angular speed at equator will be

Part-d

The linear velocity at equator will be

A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 42.5 m/s (about 95 mi/h). Before being caught, the baseball travels a horizontal distance of 17.6 m and rotates through an angle of 48.1 rad. The baseball has a radius of 3.67 cm and is rotating about an axis as it travels, much like the earth does. What is the tangential speed of a point on the "equator" of the baseball?

As the object rotates through a small angle Δθ in the short time Δt, the point P moves a distance Δs = r Δθ along the arc of its circular path. Thereforev = Δs Δt = rΔθ Δt .This becomes v = rω, whereω = dθ dt .Therefore, the tangential speed of the point P is v = rω = (80 m)(1 rad/s) =  m/s. FINALIZE Use the simulation to examine the relationship between angular rate of rotation and linear speed....
