A carnival ride spins people around in a circle that has a radius of 5 m. The carnival ride can make 20 revolutions per minute. One day, little Timmy is riding the ride when suddenly he slips out of his harness and flies off (don't worry, he lands in cotton candy and is perfectly fine)! How fast was little Timmy initially moving when he slipped out of his harness? 13.67 8.55 16.47 10.47

A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P6.48. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical. (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead slay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circles rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a). (d) For any period or loop size, is there always an angle at which the bead can stand still relative to the loop? (e) Are there ever more than two angles? Arnold Arons suggested the idea for this problem. Figure P6.48
A point on a rotating turntable 20.0 cm from the center accelerates from rest to a final speed of 0.700 m/s in 1.75 s. At t = 1.25 s, find the magnitude and direction of (a) the radial acceleration, (b) the tangential acceleration, and (c) the total acceleration of the point.
A cyclist rides a bicycle with a wheel radius of 0.500 m across campus. A piece of plastic on the front rim makes a clicking sound every time it passes through the fork. If the cyclist counts 320 clicks between her apartment and the cafeteria, how far has she traveled? (a) 0.50 km (b) 0.80 km (c) 1.0 km (d) 1.5 km (e) 1.8 km
The motion of spinning a hula hoop around one's hips can bemodeled as a hoop rotating around an axis not through the center, but offset from the center by an amount h, where h is lessthan R, the radius of the hoop. Suppose Maria spins a hula hoopwith a mass of 0.75 kg and a radius of 0.62 m around her waist.The rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the hoop, butapproximately 0.40 m from the center of the hoop. a. What isthe rotational inertia of the hoop in this case? b. If the hula hoopis rotating with an angular speed of 13.7 rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy?
In circular motion, a tangential acceleration can change the magnitude of the velocity but not its direction. Explain your answer.
A bicycle wheel with radius 0.3 m rotates from rest to 3 rev/s in 5 s. What is the magnitude and direction of the total acceleration vector at the edge of the wheel at 1.0 s?
Keratinocytes are the most common cells in the skins outer layer. As these approximately circular cells migrate across a wound during the healing process, they roll in a way that reduces the frictional forces impeding their motion. (a) Given a cell body diameter of 1.00 105 m (10 m), what minimum angular speed would be required to produce the observed linear speed of 1.67 107 m/s (10 m/min)? (b) How many complete revolutions would be required for the cell to roll a distance of 5.00 103 m? (Because of slipping as the cells roll, averages of observed angular speeds and the number of complete revolutions are about three times these minimum values.)
