Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hun is weighted so that it does not rotate , but it contains gears to count the number of wheel revolutions-- it then calculates the distance traveled . If the wheel has a 1.12 m diameter and goes through 140,000 rotations, how many kilometers should the odometer read?

Circular orbits in Equation 13.10 for conic sections must have eccentricity zero. From this, and using Newton’s second law applied to centripeta acceleration, show that the value of in Equation 13.10 is given by Where is the angular momentum of the orbiting body. The value of is constant and given by this expression regardless of the type of orbit.

Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 28.0 h by exerting an opposing force at and parallel to the equator. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.00X10 N (a little greater than a Saturn V rocket’s thrust). How long must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.) Explicitly show how you follow the steps found in Problem-Solving Strategy for Rotational Dynamics.
