Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

100%

The centripetal acceleration is always pointed
Forward, in the direction the object is going at each moment
O Outward, directly away from the center of rotation
Backward, in the direction opposite the travel direction at the moment
Inward, towards the center of rotation

Check Your Understanding Assume you are in a spacecraft in orbit about the Sun at Earth’s orbit, but far away from Earth (so that it can be ignored). How could you redirect your tangential velocity to the radial direction such that you could then pass by Mars’s orbit? What would be required to change just the direction of the velocity?
Can tangential acceleration change the speed of a particle undergoing circular motion?
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?
If centripetal force is directed toward the center, why do you feel that you are ‘thrown' away from the center as a car goes around a curve? Explain.
A flea is at point on a horizontal turntable, 10.0 cm from the center. The turntable is rotating at 33.3 rev/min in the clockwise direction. The flea jumps straight up to a height of 5.00 cm. At takeoff, it gives itself no horizontal velocity relative to the turntable. The Ilea lands on the turntable at point . Choose the origin of coor-dinates to be at the center of the turntable and the positive xaxis passing through at the moment of takeoff. Then the original position of the flea is 10.0i cm. (a) Kind die position of point when die Ilea lands. (b) Find die position of point when the flea lands.
