Consider two vehicles A and B that are identical except their masses are different: one has mass ma and the other has mass mg > ma. Suppose that they are approaching an intersection at which they will make a turn of radius R. Which of the following is true regarding the maximum safe speed they can drive at to make the turn? Car A needs to drive at a different speed than car B. Car A needs to drive more quickly than car B. Car A needs to drive at the same speed as car B. Car A needs to drive more slowly than car B.

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall.

A car of mass M = 1300 kg traveling at 65.0 km/hour enters a banked turn covered with ice. The road is banked at an angle θ, and there is no friction between the road and the car's tires as shown in (Figure 1). Use g = 9.80 m/s2 throughout this problem. What is the radius r of the turn if θ = 20.0 (assuming the car continues in uniform circular motion around the turn)? Now, suppose that the curve is level (θ=0) and that the ice has melted, so that there is a coefficient of static friction μ between the road and the car's tires as shown in (Figure 2). What is μmin, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road required to prevent the car from slipping? Assume that the car's speed is still 65.0 km/hour and that the radius of the curve is 91.4 m.

You go where no one has gone before and discover an interesting planet of radius r. When you arrive, you clearly want to do some experiments to learn more about this world. You begin with some simple kinematics and measure the time t for an object thrown directly up with velocity vi to return to your hand. With this information, you find that the acceleration due to gravity gi s much lower than on Earth. a)Find the mass of the planet mpin terms of vi, t, r, and any necessary constants. b) You decide to orbit the planet in your spacecraft at a distance Rabove the surface of the planet. Find the time required to complete one orbit in terms of R, r, vi, t, and any necessary constants. c) FInd the escape velocity ve–the initial velocity necessary for an object to barely escape the gravitational pull of the planet. Express your answer in terms of vi, r, t,and any necessary constants.
How would this lab change if you used a heavier object? A lighter object? Explain your rationale for each situation. The acceleration due to gravity is a well-understood physics quantity, with respect to the surface of the Earth. It is determined with knowledge of the mass of the planet, as well as the distance from the center of the planet to a known location. As a global average, it is assumed the acceleration due to gravity is 9.805 m/s2, with slight fluctuations around the poles due to the fact the Earth is not a perfect sphere. However, this acceleration is not constant on other planets, due to their different size and mass. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the acceleration due to gravity of a falling object.
