(a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of an object on Earth’s equator due to the rotation of Earth? (b) What would Earth’s rotation period have to be for objects on the equator to have a centripetal acceleration of magnitude 9.8 m/s2?
You are investigating an accident that occurred early on a
foggy morning in Oxfordshire. A 2015 Prius Hatchback traveling
due north collided in a highway intersection with a 2012 Nissan
Pathfinder that was traveling due east. After the collision, the
wreckage of the two vehicles was locked together and skidded
across the level ground until it struck a tree. You measure that
the tree is 11 m from the point of impact. The line from the
point of impact to the tree is in a direction 39° north of east.
From experience, you estimate that the coefficient of kinetic
friction between the ground and the wreckage is 0.45. Shortly
before the collision, a police officer with a laser speed gun
measured the speed of the Prius to be 80 km/h and,
according to a witness, the Prius driver made no attempt to slow
down. Four people with a total mass of 230 kg were in the
Nissan. The only person in the Prius was the 80 kg driver. The
Nissan with its passengers had a mass of 2362 kg, and the
Prius with its…
