A small object with mass 0.200 kg moves with constant speed in a vertical circle of radius 0.500 m. It takes the object 0.100 s to complete one revolution. As the object passes through the lowest point of its motion, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object?
Suppose we climb a mountain that is a cone with radius ro= 100 and height h = 4. We start at the bottom of the mountain (on the perimeter of the base of the cone), and our destination is the opposite side of the mountain, halfway up (height h= 2). Our climbing speed starts at V0 = 2 but gets slower at a rate inversely proportional to the distance to the mountain top (so at height z the speed is (h-z)vo/h). Find the minimum time needed to get to the destination.
