1. When you take a sharp right turn while driving, you might find yourself pressed against the car door if you are moving fast. This is because a) the door is exerting a rightward force on you, b) centrifugal force is pushing you into the door, c) both a and b or d) neither a nor b. 2. When an object is moving in a uniform circular motion which of the following points towards the center of the circle (may be more than one): a) the object's velocity, b) the object's acceleration and/or c) the net force on the object.

An ordinary workshop grindstone has a radius of 7.50 cm and rotates at 6500 rev/min. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at its edge in meters per second squared and convert it to multiples of g.
If centripetal force is directed toward the center, why do you feel that you are ‘thrown' away from the center as a car goes around a curve? Explain.
Objects moving along a circular path have a centripetal acceleration provided by a net force directed towards the center. Identify the force(s) providing the centripetal acceleration in each of these cases: (a) a planet in circular orbit around its sun; (b) a car going around an unbanked, circular turn; (c) a rock tied to a string and swung in a vertical circle, as it passes through its highest point; and (d) a dry sock in a clothes dryer as it spins in a horizontal circle.
An object executes circular motion with constant speed whenever a net force of constant magnitude acts perpendicular to the velocity. What happens to the speed if the force is not perpendicular to the velocity?
A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has an 8.00 m radius, at how many revolutions per minute will the riders be subjected to a centripetal acceleration whose magnitude is 1.50 times that due to gravity?
A car of mass m follows a truck of mass 2m around a circular turn. Both vehicles move at speed v. (a) What is the ratio of the trucks net centripetal force to the cars net centripetal force? (b) At what new speed vtruck will the net centripetal force acting on the truck equal the net centripetal force acting on the car still moving at the original speed v?
An object executes circular motion with constant speed whenever a net force of constant magnitude acts perpendicular to the velocity. What happens to the speed if the force is not perpendicular to the velocity?
A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road that can be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 62.0 m. While on the curve, the speed of the car is 15.0 m/s at the instant the briefcase starts to slide across the backseat toward the side of the car. (a) What force causes the centripetal acceleration of the briefcase when it is stationary relative to the car? Under what condition does the briefcase begin to move relative to the car? (b) What is the coefficient of static friction between the briefcase and seat surface?

Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth's rotation to once per 28.0 h by exerting an opposing force at and parallel to the equator. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.00107 N (a little greater than a Saturn V rocket's thrust). How long must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.) Explicitly show how you follow the steps found in Problem-Solving Strategy for Rotational Dynamics.
