Why is the following situation impossible? You are in the high-speed package delivery business. Your competitor in the next building gains the right-of-way to build an evacuated tunnel just above the ground all the way around the Earth. By firing packages into this tunnel at just the rightspeed, your competitor is able to send the packages into orbit around the Earth in this tunnel so that they arrive on the exact opposite side of the Earth in a very short time interval. You come up with a competing idea. Figuring that the distance through the Earth is shorter than the distance around the Earth, you obtain permits to build an evacuated tunnel through the center of the Earth (as shown). By simply dropping packages into this tunnel, they fall downward and arrive at the other end of your tunnel, which is in a building right next to the other end of your competitor’s tunnel.Because your packages arrive on the other side of the Earth in a shorter time interval, you win the competition and…

- Review. Why is the following situation impassible? You are in the high-speed package delivers business. Your competitor in the next building gains the right-of-way to build an evacuated tunnel just above the ground all the way around the Earth. By firing packages into this tunnel at just the right speed, your competitor is able to send the packages into orbit around the Earth in this tunnel so that they arrive on the exact opposite side of the Earth in a very short time interval. You come up with a competing idea. Figuring that the distance through the Earth is shorter than the distance around the Earth, you obtain permits to build an evacuated tunnel through the center of the Earth (Fig. P15.50). By simply dropping packages into this tunnel, they fall downward and arrive at the other end of your tunnel, which is in a building right next to the other end of your competitors tunnel. Because your packages arrive on the other side of the Earth in a shorter time interval, you win the competition and your business flourishes. Note: An object at a distance r from the center of the Earth is pulled toward the center of the Earth only by the mass within the sphere of radius r (the reddish region in Fig. P15.50). Assume the Earth has uniform density. Figure P15.50arrow_forwardConsider a person along with a frame of reference in each of the following situations.

- You are watching an old, rickety bridge being detonated, making way for a newer, safer, design. You see the bridge detonate first and you hear the sound of the explosion four seconds later. How far away from the bridge were you standing? Assume the speed of sound is 345 m/s and constant (that is, vf = vi).arrow_forwardAs the captain of the scientific team sent to Planet Physics, one of your tasks is to measure g�. You have a long, thin wire labeled 1.54 g/mg/m and a 1.24 kgkg weight. You have your accurate space cadet chronometer but, unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten a meter stick. Undeterred, you first find the midpoint of the wire by folding it in half. You then attach one end of the wire to the wall of your laboratory, stretch it horizontally to pass over a pulley at the midpoint of the wire, then tie the 1.24 kgkg weight to the end hanging over the pulley. By vibrating the wire, and measuring time with your chronometer, you find that the wire's second harmonic frequency is 200 HzHz. Next, with the 1.24 kgkg weight still tied to one end of the wire, you attach the other end to the ceiling to make a pendulum. You find that the pendulum requires 316 ss to complete 200 oscillations. Pulling out your trusty calculator, you get to work.What value of g will you report back to…arrow_forwardDuring a simple pendulum laboratory whose length was varying its value in centimeters and with an angle of approximately 10 degrees, the following information was obtained about its period of oscillation: Using the information provided and using a graphical model determine and / or perform: c) The experimental value of the gravitational constant. d) If the period of oscillation is P-269s, what is the value of the length of the chord?arrow_forward
