As their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.
The Moon's mass is 7.35 1022 kg, and it moves in a nearly circular orbit with radius 3.84 108 m. The period of its motion is 27.3 days. Use this, information to determine the Moon's (a) orbital speed and (b) its acceleration.
Which of the following is impossible for a car moving in a circular path? Assume that the car is never at rest. (a) The car has tangential acceleration but no centripetal acceleration. (b) The car has centripetal acceleration but no tangential acceleration. (c) The car has both centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration.
A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle of radius 0.300 m. The plane of the circle is 1.20 m above the ground. The string breaks and the ball lands 2.00 m (horizontally) away from the point on the ground directly beneath the balls location when the string breaks. Find the radial acceleration of the ball during its circular motion.
Review. A highway curve forms a section of a circle. A car goes around the curve as shown in the helicopter view of Figure P1.48. Its dashboard compass shows that the car is initially heading due east. After it travels d = 840 m. it is heading = 3.5.0south of east. Kind the radius of curvature of its path. Suggestion: You may find it useful to learn a geometric theorem staled in Appendix B.3.
A hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 15.2 m at a constant speed of 5.4 m/s. Find its centripetal acceleration. Answer in units of m/s 2 . It continues to fly along the same horizontal arc but increases its speed at the rate of 1.61 m/s 2. Find the magnitude of acceleration under these new conditions. Answer in units of m/s2
