I don’t think there is much sentiment at all in the USA to use metric. We love our own system.

yeah, so how many US gallons to an imperial gallon?

what other country in the world has a 25c coin?(Canada does not count)

In the USA it’s hot out if it’s 100 degrees. You are tall if you stand 6 feet. You buy a quart of milk. What could be more quaint?

in Norway water boils at 100 degrees and freezes at zero.... and you're tall at 2 metres

HA our logic beat yours

"what quarters ? -_- im not suppose to be on this ship im not from this time and i saw you put the pencil in my pocket >_> "
Spock is it possible he’s telling the truth. Is he from another time?
I don’t know, Captain, I can do the Vulcan mind meld and find out.
Do it. (Spock reads the stranger’s mind.) What did you find out, Spock?
He DID steal your pencil, Captain.
Security, take him to the brig.

is being taken away "funny how he managed not to tell the captain im not from this time -_-....ive had just about enough of this time period "waits till im out of the main deck and flips one guy dragging me and throws the other against the wall nocking them both unconscious " >_> that was surprisingly easy....oh well" takes there phaser gun and makes my way to the engine room where i appeared first to try and go back

“Just one second, Laddie,” says Scotty, the chief engineer, when he sees a young man stalk into the engine room with a phaser. “I think I’d put that weapon down.” Scotty has a phaser of his own that is aimed at the young man.

Let me expound on what I said before:

Are you metric in Australia?

The quarter is still about the handiest coin we have. I’m too tired to look up what an imperial gallon is.

At 0 degrees, it is very cold, way below freezing.

Our system makes more sense than yours, metric people. Repent!

Wait. I will have our sociology department determine what time you belong to. Then we will go back into time by letting ourselves be captured by the sun’s gravitational pull, and centrifugal force will slingshot us into the past. However, there is no way to guarantee that we will get you precisely back to the moment you left. It is possible we will wind up permanently back in the days when dinosaurs walked the earth. This could be fun.

actually I misled you


earths circumference is 24000 miles = 40000 kilometres
diameter is 8000 miles = 12000 kilometres

radius = 6000 kilometres

or as BP says 6,378,000 metres

so rotational velocity = 40000km/8.77 (old)hours

so we get 40000*1000 metres/60*60*8.77 sec = 1267m/s




previously it was 40,000,000 metres/ (3600 * 24)sec = 463m/s



now we have our 2 velocities




(thank you aksel)

f1 = (m * 1267 * 1267) / 6,378,000 = 0.251*Mass metres/second/second


f2 = (m * 463 * 463) / 6,378,000 = 0.033Mass metres/second/second


assume a mass of 100kg

f1=25.1 newtons
f2 = 3.3 newtons

given gravity is 9.8 newtons INCLUDING the 3.3 newtons

we get new gravity = 9.8 newtons +3.3 newtons -25.1newtons = -12 newtons

therefore we will fly off the planet at the equator at a velocity of 12 metres per second :D:D:D

this will not happen at the north pole or in Norway:D
Dude, if you're gonna teach physics, you gotta refresh some things...

Gravity IS NOT 9.8 newtons. This is the average acceleration DUE to gravity (wich is in m/s², not NEWTON), and other forces...

Gravity is a force!!! It is ALWAYS calculated between two masses. Do not mix acceleration with force!!!

Since the masses don't change, the gravity doesn't change either. Only the centrifugal force changes when turning faster or slower.

The average acceleration (9.8 m/s²) is an average value that is due to gravity + centrifugal force + air resistance.

okso how do we calculate the effective weight of a 100 kg person at the north pole compared to at the equator and how will thise values change when we speed up the rotation of the earth?

as Doctor Who would say, 'my results may have been less correct but they were more interesting':D

See my first post.

Weight = not mass, but a force. The only force that changes is the centrifugal force (gravity force keeps the same cuz the masses don't change). So speeding op rotation = bigger force away from earth. That's all.

Difference with northpole is lower rotation speed due to r being smaller. Just recalculate :)

HAven't got the time right now, but I'll do in this weekend. :)

And yes, you're right about the interesting part :D

Laddie, we&#8217;re a peaceful society&#8212;we aren&#8217;t looking to shoot anybody.
(Call comes over the intercom) Scotty, the people on the planet below won&#8217;t hand over the dilithium crystals we asked for. Do we have any photon torpedoes we could fire at them?
Aye, Captain, they&#8217;ll be ready when you need them. (Turning back to the intruder) Is there anything you can do besides shoot things?
