A toy rocket engine is securely fastened to a large puck that can glide with negligible friction over a horizontal surface, taken as the xy plane. The 4.00-kg puck has a velocity of 3.00im/s at one instant. Eight seconds later, its velocity is (8i+10j)m/s. Assuming the rocket engine exerts a constant horizontal force, find (a) the components of the force and (b) its magnitude.
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 m. If the coefficient of static friction between crate and truck is 0.600, how fast can the truck be moving without the crate sliding?
A 30.O-g ball at the end of a stung is swung in a vertical circle with a radius of 25.0 m. The rotational velocity Is 200.0 cm/s. Find the tension in the string: (a) at the top of the circle, (b) at the bottom of the circle, and (c) at a distance of 12.5 cm from the center of the circle (r=12.5cm).
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.
A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.40 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper tuning rate of one complete revolution every 6.00 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place when it is to the right of the center of the ride, without sliding? The directions of the three forces and the acceleration must be identified. Make a free-body diagram. Please use the blue vector to specify forces and the pink vector for acceleration. Assume that the center of rotation is to the left. DO NOT forget to label each vectors with none, mg, T, a, or FN
A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.40 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper tuning rate of one complete revolution every 6.00 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place when it is to the right of the center of the ride, without sliding? The three forces acting on the cat must be identified. Which forces act on the cat? Gravitational force Static frictional force Tension Kinetic frictional force Normal force
During a hammer thrower’s practice swings, the 16-lb head A of the hammer revolves at a constant speed v in a horizontal circle as shown. If p=3 ft and theta = 60 degrees, determine (a) the tension in wire BC, (b) the speed of the hammer’s head.
An airplane moves 125 m/s as it travels around a vertical circular loop which has a 0.9-km radius. What is the magnitude of the resultant force on the 70-kg pilot of this plane at the bottom of this loop? (note: not asking for the normal force)
A 1.92 kg mass is sliding across a horizontal surface an initial velocity of 12.9 m/s i. If the object then comes to a stop over a time of 2.56 seconds, what must the coefficient of kinetic be? Assume that only friction, the normal force, and the force due to gravity are acting on the mass. Enter a number rounded to 3 decimal places.
A 3,000-kg truck leaves a freeway on a circular exit of radius 50 m at a speed of 15 m/s. What minimum coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is required to keep the truck on the exit ramp without sliding?
A stuntman whose mass is 70 kg swings from the end of a4.0-m-long rope along the arc of a vertical circle. Assuming hestarts from rest when the rope is horizontal, find the tensionsin the rope that are required to make him follow his circularpath (a) at the beginning of his motion, (b) at a height of1.5 m above the bottom of the circular arc, and (c) at the bottomof the arc.
A 3.00x10^6 - kg ant rides the second hand of an enormous vertical wall clock. The ant smoothly sweeps a circle of radius 50.0m. What is the magnitude of the upward force felt by the ant due to the second hand when it is exactly at 6 AM?
