Question

A roller coaster makes a vertical loop (without stopping) in which it is upside down at the top. Will your sunglasses fall out of your pocket?

You would need more information.

Yes.

According to Newton's Second Law, the angular acceleration experienced by an object is directly proportional to which of the following?

Choices A and B above are both valid.

The net applied torque.

Its moment of inertia.

The object's size.

Astronauts orbiting the earth in the space shuttle experience a force of gravity which is

nonsense! Orbiting astronauts do not experience any gravitational pull from the earth.

a fraction smaller than the F_grav experienced on Earth's surface

several times greater than the F_grav experienced on Earth's surface

a fraction greater than the F_grav experienced on Earth's surface

several times smaller than the F_grav experienced on Earth's surface

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
