An early major objection to the idea that the earth rotates on its axis was that it would have
to turn so fast that people would be thrown off into space. Show the error in this logic by
calculating:
a. the speed of a 100 kg person standing at the equator. (The radius of the earth is
about 6400 km).
b. the net force necessary to keep the person in this motion.
c. how the normal force acting on the person compares to their weight.
d. From your answers to these questions, explain why people do not fly off into
space. What would happen to the size of the normal force if the earth spun faster?

The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.00 m apart. as you sit in the chair, your head is 2.00 m from the nearer mirror. looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (the mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) how far away does the back of your head appear to be?
