A space station, in the form of a wheel 120 m in diameter, rotates to provide an artificial gravity of 3.00 m/s2 for persons who walk around on the inner wall of the outer rim. Find the rate of the wheels rotation in revolutions per minute that will produce this effect.
The Moon and Earth rotate about their common center of mass, which is located about 4700 km from the center of Earth. (This is 1690 km below the sufrace.) (a) Calculate the acceleration due to the Moon’s gravity at that point. (b) Calculate the centripetal accelereation of he center of Earth a sit rotates about that point once each lunar month (bout 27.3 d) and compare it with the acceleration found in part (a). Comment on whether or not they are equal and why they should or should not be.
If global warming continues, its likely that some ice from the polar ice caps of the Earth will melt and the water will be distributed closer to the equator. If this occurs, would the length of the day (one rotation) (a) increase, (b) decrease, or (c) remain the same?
At its peak, a tornado is 60.0 m in diameter and carries 500 km/h winds. What is its angular velocity in revolutions per second?
Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute. Figure P7.62
Calculate the angular velocity of the orbital motion of Earth around the Sun.
Artificial gravity is produced in a space station by rotating it, so it is a noninertial reference frame. The rotation means that there must be a centripetal force exerted on the occupants: this centripetal force is exerted by the walls of the station. The space station in Arthur C. Clarkes 2001: A Space Odyssey is in the shape of a four-spoked wheel with a diameter of 155 m. If the space station rotates at a rate of 2.40 revolutions per minute, what is the magnitude of the artificial gravitational acceleration provided to a space tourist walking on the inner wall of the station?
Review. Assume a certain liquid, with density 1 230 kg/m3, exerts no friction force on spherical objects. A ball of mass 2.10 kg and radius 9.00 cm is dropped from rest into a deep tank of this liquid from a height of 3.30 m above the surface. (a) Find the speed at which the hall enters the liquid. (b) Evaluate the magnitudes of the two forces that are exerted on the ball as it moves through the liquid. (c) Explain why the ball moves down only a limited distance into the liquid and calculate this distance. (d) With what speed will the ball pop up out of the liquid? (c) How does the time interval tdown, during which the ball moves from the surface down to its lowest point, compare with the lime interval tup for the return trip between the same two points? (f) What If? Now modify the model to suppose the liquid exerts a small friction force on the ball, opposite in direction to its motion. In this case, how do the time intervals tdown and tup compare? Explain your answer with a conceptual argument rather than a numerical calculation.
A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are sueful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earth’s rotation). Calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for Earth in Appendis D.
An office door is given a sharp push and swings open against a pneumatic device that slows the door down and then reverses its motion. At the moment the door is open the widest, (a) does the doorknob have a centripetal acceleration? (b) Does it have a tangential acceleration?
A door in a hospital has a pneumatic closer that pulls the door shut such that the doorknob moves with constant speed over most of its path. In this part of its motion, (a) does the doorknob experience a centripetal acceleration? (b) Does it experience a tangential acceleration?
An Earth satellite has its apogee at 2500 km above the surface of Earth and perigee at 500 km above the surface of Earth. At apogee its speed is 730 m/s. What is its speed at perigee? Earth’s radius is 6370 km (see below).
