Suppose a girl gets a 0.25 m length of string where she attaches one end to the ceiling and the other end to a toy plane. If the toy plane weighs 0.5 kg, find the maximum speed of the plane and the angle that it makes with the vertical if the maximum tension in the string before it snaps is 10 N.

A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure OQ5.6. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) Is there a point where the bob has no acceleration? If so, which point? (d) Is there a point where the bob has both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? Figure OQ5.6
Review. The mass of a car is 1 500 kg. The shape of the cars body is such that its aerodynamic drag coefficient is D = 0.330 and its frontal area is 2.50 m2. Assuming the drag force is proportional to 2 and ignoring other sources of friction, calculate the power required to maintain a speed of 100 km/h as the car climbs a long hill sloping at 3.20.
When a body slides down an inclined plane, does the work of friction depend on the body’s initial speed? Answer the same question for a body sliding down a curved surface.
A 40.0-kg child swings in a swing supported by two chains, each 3.00 m long. The tension in each chain at the lowest point is 350 N. Find (a) the childs speed at the lowest point and (b) the force exerted by the seat on the child at the lowest point. (Ignore the mass of the seat.)
A small particle of mass m is pulled to the top of a friction less half-cylinder (of radius R) by a light cord that passes over the top of the cylinder as illustrated in Figure P7.15. (a) Assuming the particle moves at a constant speed, show that F = mg cos . Note: If the particle moves at constant speed, the component of its acceleration tangent to the cylinder must be zero at all times. (b) By directly integrating W=Fdr, find the work done in moving the particle at constant speed from the bottom to the top of the hall-cylinder. Figure P7.15
To get in shape, you head to the local gym to exercise by lifting weights. Using a lat machine (Fig. P5.48), you notice that the wire connected to the bar is run around three different pulleys and is connected to a vertical stack of weights on the other end. The weights move up and down as you pull down on the bar. Suppose you set the machine so that the weight to be lifted is 120.0 lb. When you pull down on the bar, exerting a constant force, the acceleration experienced by the weights is 0.250 m/s2. What tension must exist in the wire connecting the bar and weights under these conditions? Assume the pulleys are massless and frictionless. FIGURE P5.48
Tarzan plans to cross a gorge by swinging in an arc from a hanging vine. If his arms are capable of exerting a force of 1350 N on the rope, what is the maximum speed he can tolerate at the lowest point of his swing? His mass is 78 kg and the vine is 5.2 m long.
To make a pendulum, a 410 g ball is attached to one end of a string that has a length of 1.8 m and negligible mass. (The other end of the string is fixed.) The ball is pulled to one side until the string makes an angle of 20° with the vertical; then (with the string taut) the ball is released from rest. Find (a) the speed of the ball when the string makes an angle of 14° with the vertical and (b) the maximum speed of the ball. (c) What is the angle between the string and the vertical when the speed of the ball is one-third its maximum value?
A boy weighing 455 N swings on a 2-m long swing. If his horizontal speed at the lowest point is 3 m/s. What total force must the ropes holding the swing be able to withstand?
When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical mass less spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0 cm. The body and spring are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and rotated about the held end of the spring at 2.0 rev/s. How far is the spring stretched?
A ball with m=0.1 kg swings from point 1 to point 3. Assuming that point 3 is 2 m above the lowest point 2. If the tension force on the string at point 2 is T=10 N, What his the length of the string? Assume the mass of string is ignorable.
