Consider a tall building located on the Earth's equator. As the Earth rotates, a person on the top floor of the building moves faster than someone on the ground with respect to an inertial reference frame because the person on the ground is closer to the Earth's axis. Consequently, if an object is dropped from the top floor to the ground a distance h below, it lands east of the point vertically below where it was dropped.
(a)
How far to the east will the object land? Express your answer in terms of h, g, and the angular speed ω of the Earth. Ignore air resistance and assume the free-fall acceleration is constant over this range of heights.
Δx =
Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.
(b)
Evaluate the eastward displacement (in cm) for
h = 52.5 m.
