The earth takes 24h to rotate once about its axis. How much time does the sun takes to shift by `1^(@)` when viewed from the earth?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Time taken for `360^@` shift =24h
Time taken for `1^@` shift =`24//360h=4 `min

On account of the earth rotating about its axis

If the earth stops rotating about its axis, then the magnitude of gravity

Suppose the earth stops rotating about its axis what will be its effect on the weight of a body.

If the earth has no rotational motion, the weight of a person on the equation is W. Detrmine the speed with which the earth would have to rotate about its axis so that the person at the equator will weight (3)/(4) W. Radius of the earth is 6400 km and g = 10 m//s^(2) .

If the speed of rotation of earth about its axis increases, then the weight of the body at the equator will

Assertion : If the earth stops rotating about its axis, the value of the weight of the body at equator will decrease. Reason : The centripetal force does not act on the body at the equator.

A satellite having time period same as that of the earth's rotation about its own axis is orbiting the earth at a height 8R above the surface of earth. Where R is radius of earth. What will be the time period of another satellite at a height 3.5 R from the surface of earth ?

Statement I: If the earth suddenly stops rotating about its axis, then the acceleration due to gravity will become the same at all the places. Statement II: The value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of rotation of the earth.

The angular velocity of the earth's rotation about its axis is omega . An object weighed by a spring balance gives the same reading at the equator as at height h above the poles. The value of h will be
