Without looking it up, I'll go out on a limb here and state my guess. (Then somebody else can come along and show that my guess was all wet.)
I think angular velocity and acceleration are both right-hand-rule guys, with vectors formed by (R) cross (rotation direction). If true, and rotation is from west to east (counterclock viewed from above the north pole), then the angular velocity vector points into the south pole and out of the north pole.
Correction:
You have stated the true method for the answer above, but got the opposite answer. Since the earth rotates in a counter-clockwise direction viewed from the north pole, the angular velocity vector would point from the center of the earth to the north pole. It's magnitude would be the angular velocity of the earth's spin.
-J
I think that's exactly what I said ... " ... out of the north pole".
Ah I see, my apologies. I think where I was confused was where you stated "into the south pole..." Instead you can state that it would originate from the center and point towards the north pole. You can rewrite it and delete our discussion :)
What else can I help you with?
How many types of earth rotation?
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
Why speed changes on earth rotation from latitude?
The circumference around the Earth at different latitudes varies, from 40,075 km at the equator, to 26,291 km at 49° latitude, to 0km at the axis of rotation (i.e. the North and South poles). Thus, as the Earth spins around it's axis, different latitudes will cover different distances within the same time frame. And since speed (and velocity) are calculated by dividing distance by time, the speed (and velocity) will therefore decrease as you approach the poles.
What is the joints of the rotation of the limits?
The joints of rotation of a limit are the points where the function changes direction or behavior. These points are typically where the function is not differentiable or where there is a cusp, corner, or vertical tangent. Joints of rotation are important for understanding the behavior of a function near its limits.
How do you calculate the velocity of a moving object from two points on a position time graph?
First, note that velocity is a vector quantity. This means it has a magnitude (the speed) as well as a direction. The magnitude of the velocity is the difference in position divided by difference in time. Hopefully, the direction should be evident from the graph.
How are baselines used to locate points on earths surface?
The Equator
What direction does the angular velocity vector of the Earth's rotation point toward?
The Earth's angular velocity vector due to its axial rotation points towards the north pole.
Where does the angular velocity vector of the Earth rotation points?
Up out of the north pole. (And down into the south pole.)
How we find the Direction of angular velocity of a rotating wheel?
The direction of angular velocity in a rotating wheel can be found using the right-hand rule. If you curl your fingers in the direction the wheel is rotating, then your thumb points in the direction of the angular velocity vector. This rule helps determine whether the angular velocity is clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the rotation.
Using the linear velocity of the points on the outside of gear 2 found in step b and the radius of gear 2find the gears angular velocity?
The linear velocity of the points on the outside of gear 2 can be converted to angular velocity by dividing by the radius of gear 2. This relationship is given by the formula: angular velocity = linear velocity / radius. By plugging in the values for linear velocity and radius, you can calculate the angular velocity of gear 2.
What is the direction of angular acceleration?
Angular acceleration is a vector quantity that points along the axis of rotation according to the right-hand rule. This means if you curl the fingers of your right hand in the direction of rotation, your thumb points in the direction of angular acceleration.
When a body move in a circle it has angular velocity then the direction of angular acceleratun will be?
The direction of angular acceleration is perpendicular to both the velocity and the radius of curvature of the circular path. This means it points towards the center of the circle.
What is the right-hand rule for angular displacement?
The right-hand rule for angular displacement states that if you align your fingers in the direction of rotation, your thumb points in the direction of the angular displacement vector. This rule helps determine the direction of rotation or angular displacement in a given scenario.
How many types of earth rotation?
It is anticlockwise when viewed from the north. This applies to both its daily rotation and its revolution around the Sun. The angular momentum vector in both cases points to the north.
Do all places on the earth have the same average speed?
Assuming the question is asking about the Earth's rotation, it depends upon how you measure speed. If you measure angular velocity, then yes, every point on earth rotates at the same speed. If you measure linear velocity, then no, points near the equator rotate faster than points near the poles. Still in linear velocity, points at higher altitude rotate slightly faster then points at the bottom of the deep ocean.
What is the direction of angular momentum?
Angular momentum of a rotating particle is defined as the moment of the linear momentum of the particle about that axis.It is perpendicular to the plane of rotation and parallel to the axis of rotation.
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
How the earth movements affect climate?
earths axis is little tilted which makes its rotation different at different points of time. this change in rotation and the significant difference of distant between the earth and the sun affects the climate
