Which has less angular speed, hour hand of clock or the angular speed of earth on its own axis?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Angular speed of earth is less
For earth angular speed
`omega_(e)=(2pi)/(24xx3600)" rad/s"`
`omega_(h)=(2pi)/(12xx3600)" rad/s"`
`therefore (omega_(e))/(omega_(h))=(1)/(2)`
`therefore 2omega_(e)=omega_(h)`
`therefore omega_(e)ltomega_(h)`

A satellite moves eastwards very near the surface of the Earth in equitorial plane with speed (v_(0)) . Another satellite moves at the same height with the same speed in the equatorial plane but westwards. If R =radius of the Earth and omega be its angular speed of the Earth about its own axis. Then find the approximate difference in the two time period as observed on the earth.

(a) A child stands at the centre of a turntable with his two arms outstretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of 40 rev/min. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to 2/5 times the initial value ? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction. (b) Show that the child’s new kinetic energy of rotation is more than the initial kinetic energy of rotation. How do you account for this increase in kinetic energy?

(a) A child stands at the centre of a turntable with his two arms outstretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of 40 rev/min. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to (2)/(5) times the initial value? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction. (b) Show that the child.s new kinetic energy of rotation is more than the initial kinetic energy of rotation. How do you account for this increase in kinetic energy?
