- Notes from Class
- What is the Mass of the Earth?
- What is the mass of the sun?
- Where do I put a statellite?
- Geosynchronous
- Asynchoronous
- Lagrangian
- What is the weight difference at the equator?
- How long would a day be if Thomas of Ecuador was weightless?
Is this due tomorrow, or is this something we are going to be doing in class?
ReplyDeleteConsidering that we have no clue what a Geosynchronous is, I would assume that it is not due tomorrow.
Deletegeosynchronous is a satellite orbiting in the same direction as the rotation of the earth. as in, both of them are rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.
ReplyDeleteAdding to that, I think it also means that they move at the same rotational velocity.

Can someone explain the weight problems?
ReplyDeleteSomehow we have to use the equations
DeleteSum of the Forces = Fg + Fn = Fc
and
Sum of the forces = Fg + Fn = 0
This was my understanding of it, and from here it's FBD and substitution.
The Thomas and Nuk Nuk problem is another case of maximums and minimums. At the North Pole, Fc would be the lowest, while the equator would give the highest Fc.
DeleteJust another way of visualizing the problem.

ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what "chapter four problems to be graded" on the calendar means

It hasn't been properly updated from last year's calendar. This year Mr. Crane is combining chapters 4 and 5 more or less, instead of doing them separately. So, last year they had problem sets to do at this time but since we aren't focusing on that we don't.
