Because of the centrifugal force the Earth isn't a sphere, If Earth stops it will turn into a sphere again and the oceans will distribute evently.. aka go to the poles. When the planet changes shape from an oval to a sphere the equator will shrink and the poles will expand (aka raise in sea level)

Yes but one thing to consider is the change of gravity due to increase in sea level. Are we still measuring gravity at the surface if the surface moves?

Our atmosphere would get thicker as well since the centrifugal force is no longer there to push the atmosphere out.

You bring up a pretty good point. Theres a good chance the surface pressure would increase as well.

The extra energy from the rotation is in direct relation to the centrifugal force.

If the Earth stopped spinning you'd feel more gravity on the surface. Think about this for a second. Centripetal force negates some of the gravity we have from Earth's mass. If that centripetal force stops the only thing left will be Gravity because of mass.

Is the Acceleration in M/S2 correct?

The Transmission ratio is the 2nd number. 154Nm*2/.25m = 1232N 154Nm * 2 since 1:2 tranny doubles the torque / the leverage of the tire. No?

Homework Statement Find the Acceleration of a vehicle at 3k rpm and 5k rpm. At 3k the engine produces 65hp. At 5k it produces 155hp. Car weight is 1000kg. The wheels are 50cm in diameter. The engine is connected to the wheel via 2:1 ratio transmission. Neglect any losses. Homework...

alright so here is what i got. position after the .05m (between plates) is Xf = 0ms + 0t + .5At^2 slow beam.. Xfs = .5a(.0005s^2) fast beam Xff = .5a(.00005s^2) Next velocity at the end Slow beam Vfs = a*.0005s Fast beam Vff = a*.00005sNext, X2-X1 = .02m so .02m = (.5a(.0005s^2) +...

Thank you for the feedback sir. So i got that. 5cm = .05 m Since their initial velocity is in the Y direction during the acceleration towards X will not change the Y, I do this to find their times. Fast = .05m / 1000m/s = .00005s Slow = .05m / 100m/s = .0005s Then i don't know where to plug...

Homework Statement You are trying to separate 2 types of ions (fast and slow). The fast ones travel at 1000m/s and the slow ones travel at 100m/s. At the beginning you have 2 plates. One has + and the other one has negative charge. The size of the plates is 5cm and they are 3 cm apart...

8-2+4 is ur answer Please explain how are you getting 8? It will tell us what your confusion is. displacement: final position - initial position Nothing in between matters. You are at your house and you are going to get coffee from starbucks. You want the displacement from your house to...

Ahh that makes sense. i get it now :) Thank you all for your responses. I appreciate the help a ton. This forum is definitely going in the favorites. :)

hhmm so what goes where? I'm just starting physics. Its actually my 4th day in the class and we have like 3 formulas that are all for constant acceleration. The funny thing is what is on our homework is much more advanced vs what we're learning in class.
