A person is standing on the South Pole. Their speed is zero (relative to the earth's axis) because they are not moving around due to the earths rotation (like standing in the middle of a merry-go round).

That person walks 100 meters North. What is their new speed due to earth's rotation?
Assume the person's circle that they are now moving is determined by the diameter of the daily circle at this location- which is 200 meters. (Note: a circle's circumference is given by diameter times pi; or 3.14 time a circle's diameter).

Give final answer with correct units and show how you calculated and arrived at this answer.

Amass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by 5cm and released. the system then oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a period of 1s. if that same mass–spring system is displaced from equilibrium by 10cm instead, what will its period be in this case? a mass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by and released. the system then oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a period of . if that same mass–spring system is displaced from equilibrium by instead, what will its period be in this case? a) 0.5sb) 2sc) 1sd) 1.4s
