(a)

To determine

ToShow: The period T of Earth’s rotation about its axis is related to its radius by T=br2 .

(b)

To determine

ToShow: That the fractional change in the period ΔT is given approximately by ΔT/T=2Δr/r

(c)

To determine

Tocalculate: The radius in kilometers that r need to increase for the period to change by 0.25 d/y

(COLLAB Gauss's Law for Mass) Journey through the Center of the Earth. A 1024.kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z- position of 2 x 106 m through the center of a planet with radius 8.6 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 38.1 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at timet = 9 s?
Calculate the moment of interim Icm of the disk(without the point mass) with respect to the central axis of the disk, in terms of M and R. Icm=?
A neutron star is the remnant of a large star that exploded in a supernovaat the end of its life. Suppose the star’s radius decreases by a factor of6 × 10−5 during this process, and its mass decreases by a factor of eight.If the star rotates once per 20 days during its life, how fast would itsremnant neutron star rotate? Assume the star is always a solid, uniformsphere. (It is not, but this exercise still gives a reasonable answer).
