Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, so that objects onits surface execute uniform circular motion about the axis with aperiod of 24 hours. Consider only the effect of this rotation onthe person on the surface. (Ignore Earth's orbital motion about theSun.)
(a) What is the speed and what is the magnitude of the accelerationof a person standing on the equator?
v = m/s
a = m/s2
Express the magnitude of this acceleration as a percentage ofg.
%
(b) What is the direction of the acceleration vector?
away from the center of Earth
directly at the center of Earth
(c) What is the speed and what is the magnitude of the accelerationof a person standing on the surface at 35°N latitude?
v = m/s
a = m/s2
(d) What is the angle between the direction of the acceleration ofthe person at 35°N and the direction of the acceleration of theperson at the equator if both persons are at the samelongitude?

106 m/s is projected along the axis midway between the deflection plates of a cathode-ray tube. The uniform electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 1.34
