Midterm exam Question 1 The earth is round because of gravitational force that squeezes the earth into a circular shape. Though the earth is spherical, it is not a perfect sphere. The earth bulges at the equator and flattens at the poles, making it an imperfect sphere. Bulging at the equator is caused by centrifugal force, while centripetal force causes flattening at the poles. The imperfect sphere shape of the earth is called an oblate spheroid. Question 2 Initial velocity u, = 2m/s Acceleration a, = 1 m/s/s Final speed v, = 5m/s Substitute these values using the first equation of motion V = u + at, t = time t = v-u/a t = 5-2/1 T=t = 3 seconds (b) How far did it go? To get the distance, use the third equation of motion, v = u2 + 2ad D = V2– u2/2a D = (5)2 – (2)2/2 X 1 D = 10.5 m Question 3 Newton’s law of attraction states that the force of attraction between two objects is directly proportional to the product of the masses…
