Assume that the Earth is a sphere and that the force of gravity (mg) points precisely toward the center of the Earth. Taking into account the rotation of the Earth about its axis, calculate the angle between the direction of a plumb line and the direction of the Earth’s radius as a function of latitude. What is this deviation angle at a latitude of 45?

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.
