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.
Modem roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown here. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. (a) What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g ? (b) How high above the top of the loop must the roller coaster start from rest, assuming negligible friction? (c) If it actually starts 5.00 m higher than your answer to (b), how much energy did it lose to friction? Its mass is 1.50103kg .
A race car is moving around a circular track at a constant speed of 65 m/s. It continues moving in this manner at this speed for 15 minutes. During this time, what is the direction of the net force exerted on the race car?
As a skater forms a circle, what force is responsible for making his turn? Use a free-body diagram in your answer.
Suppose a car is moving along a flat piece of road. Moreover, let us suppose that we know the coefficient of friction within the axles and wheel bearings of the car to be ?=0.015μ=0.015 . If the car let's off the accelerator (gas pedal) and starts rolling, and you measure that it takes the car 800 meters to roll to a stop (without using the breaks), how fast was the car moving the moment the driver removed her/his foot from the pedal? Give your answer in units of m/s, however do not include the units explicitly in your answer. If you include units, the answer will be counted wrong.
An object of mass m has these three forces acting on it (there is no normal force, "no surface"). F1 = 1 N, F2 = 10 N, and F3 = 4 N. When answering the questions below, assume the x-direction is to the right, and the y-direction is straight upwards. What is the magnitude of the net force, in newtons? What is the angle θ, in degrees, of the net force, measured from the +x-axis? Enter an angle between -180° and 180°. What is the magnitude, |a| of the acceleration, in meters per square second, if the block has a mass of 8.9 kg?
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.
