Unreasonable Results A mother pushes her child on a swing so that his speed is 9.00 m/s at the lowest point of his path. The swing is suspended 2.00 m above the child's center of mass. (a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the child at the low point? (b) What is the magnitude of the force the child exerts on the seat if his mass is 18.0 kg? (c) What is unreasonable about these results? (d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent?
Why is the following situation impossible? A softball pitcher has a strange technique: she begins with her hand at rest at the highest point she can reach and then quickly rotates her arm backward so that the ball moves through a half-circle path. She releases the ball when her hand reaches the bottom of the path. The pitcher maintains a component of force on the 0.180-kg ball of constant magnitude 12.0 N in the direction of motion around the complete path. As the ball arrives at the bottom of the path, it leaves her hand with a speed of 25.0 m/s.
A small block of mass ?m is placed halfway up on the inside of a frictionless, circular loop of radius ?,r, as shown. The size of the block is very small compared to the radius of the loop. Determine an expression for the minimum downward speed ?minvmin with which the block must be released in order to guarantee that it will make a full circle.
I only need help with e) thank you! In the figure below, a runaway truck with failed brakes is moving downgrade at 36 m/s just before the driver steers the truck up a frictionless emergency escape ramp with an inclination of theta = 15°. The truck’s mass is 1.5 x 104 kg. (a) What minimum length L of the ramp must the ramp have if the truck is to stop at the top of the ramp at height h? (b) Does the minimum length L increase, decrease, or remain the same if the truck’s mass is decreased? Why? (c) If its speed is decreased? Why? (d) What is the velocity of the truck when its at ¾ the length of the ramp? (e) Now suppose that dirt landed on the ramp and made it into a frictional surface and the truck starts to slide down the ramp. Suppose the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the truck is (mu) sub k and the Normal force is N = mgcos(theta)/4 . From the top the truck starts to slide down the incline, find the speed of the truck when it reaches the bottom of the ramp.
Flying Circus of Physics Brake or turn? The figure depicts an overhead view of a car's path as the car travels toward a wall. Assume that the driver begins to brake the car when the distance to the wall is d=109 m, and take the car's mass as m=1430 kg, its initial speed as v0=39.0 m/s, and the coefficient of static friction as μS=0.500. Assume that the car's weight is distributed evenly on the four wheels, even during braking. (a) What magnitude of frictional force is needed (between tires and road) to stop the car just as it reaches the wall? (b) What is the maximum possible static friction fS, max? (c) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the (sliding) tires and the road is μk=0.410, at what speed will the car hit the wall? To avoid the crash, a driver could elect to turn the car so that it just barely misses the wall, as shown in the figure. (d) What magnitude of frictional force would be required to keep the car in a circular path of radius d and at the given speed v0?…
A roller coaster cart is moving over the top of a circular hill that has a diameter of 56 m. What is the fastest safe speed that the roller cart can go over the top of the hill? (that is, at what speed will the cart begin to lose contact with the track?). Assume a coefficient of friction of 0.7.
5. A swing ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung in a circle by 11.5-m cables attached to a vertical rotating pole, as the drawing shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 162 kg, the angle θ = 61°. Find the speed of the chair.m/s
A 480g falcon can reach high speeds near the ground after vertically diving from heights approaching 200m after starting with a zero (vertical) speed. Like all other flyers, falcons do happen to generate drag, particularly during high-speed diving. Estimate the average drag generated after reaching a speed of 55m/s while vertically diving over the same height – and with the same weight above. (Herethere is no wing flapping for propulsion).
You are riding a dirt bike around a vertical loop that is in a spherical cage. In order for the dirt bike to maintain good traction, you want the normal force of the loop on the dirt bike to be at least twice the weight of the dirt bike when you are at the bottom of the cage. If the sphyrical cage has a radius of 7m, what is your speed at the bottom of the sphyrical cage? Construct the free body diagram of the dirt bike when it is at the top of the loop.
In the hammer throw, an athlete spins a heavy mass in a circle at the end of a cable before releasing it for distance as shown in (Figure 1). For male athletes, the "hammer" is a mass of 7.3 kg at the end of a 1.2 m cable, which is typically a 3.0-mm-diameter steel cable. A world-class thrower can get the hammer up to a speed of 29 m/s. If an athlete swings the mass in a horizontal circle centered on the handle he uses to hold the cable. (a) What is the tension in the cable? Neglect the gravity. (b) How much does the cable stretch? Young modulus for steel is 20×1010N/m220×1010N/m2.

A small child is about to go on a carnival ride that will undergo uniform circular motion by spinning about the center pole, as indicated in the figure below. The combined mass of the child and the seat is 27.9 kg, L = 7.9 meters, and R = 2.5 meters. Once the ride gets up to its constant "cruising" speed, the chain forms an angle theta with the vertical which equals 23.5 degrees. What is the speed of the child at this time? What is the tension in the chain at this time?
