Question

Definition Definition Force on a body along the radial direction. Centripetal force is responsible for the circular motion of a body. The magnitude of centripetal force is given by F C = m v 2 r m = mass of the body in the circular motion v = tangential velocity of the body r = radius of the circular path

Suppose a mass is moving in a circular path on a frictionless table as shown in figure. In the Earth's frame of reference, there is no centrifugal force pulling the mass away from the centre of rotation, yet there is a very real force stretching the string attaching the mass to the nail. Using concepts related to centripetal force and Newton's third law, explain what force stretches the string, identifying its physical origin. Figure 6.35 A mass attached to a nail on a frictionless table moves in a circular path. The force stretching the string is real and not fictional. What is the physical origin of the force on the string?
Unreasonable Result A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00% of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the mountain. (b) Compare the mountain's mass with that of Earth. (c) What is unreasonable about these results? (d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent? (Note that accurate gravitational measurements can easily detect the effect of nearby mountains and variations in local geology.)
Perhaps you’ve noticed that the rockets used to put satellites and spacecraft into orbit are usually launched from pads near the equator. Why is this so? Is the fact that rockets are usually launched to the east also important? Why?

Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one's birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 4.20 kg baby by a 100 kg father 0.200 m away at birth (he is assisting, so he is close to the child) (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.291011 m away. How does the force of Jupiter on the baby compare to the force of the father on the baby? Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 20 km in length and 8 km in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. The purpose of the rotation is to simulate gravity for the inhabitants. Explain this concept for producing an effective imitation of gravity.
. As a spacecraft approaches a planet, the rocket engines on it are fired (turned on) to slow it down so it will go into orbit around the planet. The spacecraft’s mass is 2.000 kg, and the thrust (force) of the rocket engines is 400 N. If its speed must be decreased by 1,000 m/s, how long must the engines be fired? (Ignore the change in the mass as the fuel is burned.)
