You purchase the new Tesla Roadster and decide to take it out for a spin on theNewmarket Race Track. After getting to a top speed of 410. km/hr, suddenly atree falls down on the road blocking your path. You slam on your brakes to avoidhitting the fallen tree and thus, come to a complete stop. You were at a distanceof 30.0 m away from the tree when you hit the brakes. Assuming that theRoadster does not skid, what is the minimum deceleration needed to avoidhitting the fallen tree?
In 2005 astronomers announced the discovery of a large black hole in the galaxy Markarian 766 having clumps of matter orbiting around once every 27 hours and moving at 30,000 km/s. How far are these clumps from the center of the black hole? What is the mass of this black hole, assuming circular orbits? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun's mass.
Suppose a 1 800-kg car passesover a bump in a roadway thatfollows the arc of a circle ofradius 20.4 m, as in FigureP7.65. (a) What force doesthe road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point ofthe bump if the car travels at 8.94 m/s? (b) What is the maximumspeed the car can have without losing contact with theroad as it passes this highest point?
Check Your Understanding The U.S. Air Force uses “10gs” (an acceleration equal to 109.8m/s2 ) as the maximum acceleration a human can withstand (but only tot several seconds) aid survive. How much time must the Enterprise spend accelerating if the humans on board are to experience an average at most 10gs of acceleration? (Assume the inertial dampeners are offline.)
A nonrotating frame of reference placed at the center of the Sun is very nearly an inertial one. Why is it not exactly an Inertial frame?
Check Your Understanding Galaxies are not single objects. How does the gravitiational force of one galaxy exerted on the “closer” stars of the other galaxy compare to those farther away? What effect would this have on the shape of the galaxies themselves?
A Molniya orbit is a highly eccentric orbit of a communication satellite so as to provide continuous communications coverage for Scandinavian countries and adjacent Russia. The orbit is positioned so that these countries have the satellite in view for extended periods in time (see below). If a satellite in such an orbit has an apogee at 40,000.0 km as measured from the center of Earth and a velocity of 3.0 km/s, what would be its velocity at perigee measured at 200.0 km altitude?
Repeat the preceding problem, but including a drag force due to air of fdrag=bv .
A 30.O-g ball at the end of a stung is swung in a vertical circle with a radius of 25.0 m. The rotational velocity Is 200.0 cm/s. Find the tension in the string: (a) at the top of the circle, (b) at the bottom of the circle, and (c) at a distance of 12.5 cm from the center of the circle (r=12.5cm).
A 45.5lbs ball with an initial velocity of 236m/s is rolling on the rough surface slope and continues to accelerate at .896m/s^2, the slope has kinetic friction of 285N. How long would it take for the ball to stop? A 62.3kg astronaut throws a 2.20 lbs package with an acceleration of 0.98m/s squared. If the astronaut was pushed back with a distance of 3.25m, how much farther is the package from the starting position? How long has it been since the astronaut pushed the package?
A fullback is running a sweep around the left side of the line. As he rounds the turn, he is momentarily moving in circular motion, sweeping out a quarter-circle with a radius of 4.17 meters. If the 83.5-kg fullback makes the turn with a speed of 5.21 m/s, then what is his acceleration, the net force, the angle of lean (measured to the vertical), and the total contact force with the ground? PSYW a = ____________ Fnet = ____________ Fgrav = ____________ Fnorm = ____________ Ffrict = ____________ Fcontact = ____________ Angle of Lean = ____________
A stuntman whose mass is 70 kg swings from the end of a4.0-m-long rope along the arc of a vertical circle. Assuming hestarts from rest when the rope is horizontal, find the tensionsin the rope that are required to make him follow his circularpath (a) at the beginning of his motion, (b) at a height of1.5 m above the bottom of the circular arc, and (c) at the bottomof the arc.
