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.

• A train travelling with a speed of 15m/s relative to Earth. A passenger standing at the rear of the train pitches s baseball with a speed of 15m/s relative to the train off the back end, in the direction opposite the motion of the train. (a) what is the velocity of the baseball relative to Earth? ( b) What is the velocity of the baseball relative to the Earth if thrown in the opposite direction at the same speed?
In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon, Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel’s length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration tolerable or deadly to the astronauts? A modern version of such gun-launched spacecraft (although without passengers) has been proposed. In this modern version, called the SHARP (Super High Altitude Research Project) gun, ignition of methane and air shoves a piston along the gun’s tube, compressing hydrogen gas that then launches a rocket. During this launch, the rocket moves 3.5 km and reaches a speed of 7.0 km/s. Once launched, the rocket can be fired to gain additional speed. (c) In g units, what would be the average acceleration of the rocket…

The Boring Company has proposed transporting people between Los Angeles and San Francisco, a distance of 540 km, through an undergroun... 2.5 m/s2 until reaching a speed of 330 m/s. Later they would brake at 1.5 m/s2 . A launch of one pod per minute would transport 240 passengers per hour, roughly equivalent to one jet plane per hour. (a) What would be the trip time in minutes from Los Angeles to San Francisco? (b)How far apart would two adjacent pods be on the constant-speed segment of the journey?
