In a race like the Indianapolis 500, a driver circles the track counterclockwise and feels his head pulled toward one shoulder. To relieve his neck muscles from having to hold his head erect, the driver fastens a strap to one wall of the car and the other to his helmet. The length of the strap is adjusted to keep his head vertical. (a) Which shoulder does his head tend to lean toward? (b) What force or forces produce the centripetal acceleration when there is no strap? (c) What force or forces do so when there is a strap?
A crate of eggs is located in the middle of the flatbed of a pickup truck as the truck negotiates a curve in the flat road. The curve may be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 35.0 in. If the coefficient of static friction between crate and truck is 0.600, how fast can the truck be moving without the crate sliding?
Banked curves are designed so that the radial component of the normal force on the car rounding the curve provides the centripetal force required to execute uniform circular motion and safely negotiate the curve. A car rounds a banked curve with banking angle = 22.0 and radius of curvature 150 m. a. If the coefficient of static friction between the cars tires and the road is s = 0.400, what is the range of speeds for which the car can safely negotiate the turn without slipping? b. What is the minimum value of s for which the cars minimum safe speed is zero? Note that friction points up the incline here.
A coin placed 30.0 cm from the center of a rotating, horizontal turntable slips when its speed is 50.0 cm/s. (a) What force causes the centripetal acceleration when the coin is stationary relative to the turntable? (b) What is the coefficient of static friction between coin and turntable?
A car moves at speed v across a bridge made in the shape of a circular arc of radius r. (a) Find an expression for the normal force acting on the car when it is at the top of the arc. (b) At what minimum speed will the normal force become zero (causing the occupants of the car to seem weightless) if r = 30.0 m?
(a) What is the radius of a bobsled turn banked at 75.0° and taken at 30.0 m/s, assuming it is ideally banked? (b) Calculate the centripetal acceleration. (c) Does this acceleration seem large to you?
