Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

The world land speed record is 763.0 mi/h, set on October 15, 1997, by Andy Green in the jet-engine car Thrust SSC. If we subtract 183 mi/h from this speed, Express the resultant speed in meters per second.
The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line isv(t) = ate−5t, where the speed v is measured in meters per second, the time t is measured in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant a is measured in meters per second squared.

Explain why, when defining the length of a rod, it is necessary to specify that the positions of the ends of the rod are to be measured simultaneously.
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .

The height of a cannonball, h, in meters, over time, t, in seconds, as it is shot off a platform can be modelledby the equation ℎ = −4(t + 2)(t − 8). a) How long did it take the cannonball to reach the ground?
The distance S that an object falls varies directly with the square of the time t. If an object falls 16 feet in one second, how long for it to fall 400 feet? The time required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the speed. It takes 1 hr at a speed of 400 km/h to drive a fixed distance. How long will it take to drive the same distance at a speed of 8 km/h?
