You are the technical consultant for an action-adventure film in which a stunt calls for the hero to drop off a 19-m-tall building and land on the ground safely at a final vertical speed of 5 m/s. At the edge of the building's roof, there is a 100-kg drum that is wound with a sufficiently long rope (of negligible mass), has a radius of 0.4 m, and is free to rotate about its cylindrical axis with a moment of inertia I0.  The script calls for the 76-kg stuntman to tie the rope around his waist and walk off the roof. (a) Determine an expression for the stuntman's linear acceleration in terms of his mass m, the drum's radius r, and moment of inertia I0. (b) Determine the required value of the stuntman's acceleration if he is to land safely at a speed of 5 m/s.
Consider a point located on the equator of Earth. Find the angular speed (in rad/s) and the period of this point.
Planet A is located 1.81 x 1010 [m] away from its parent star. What is the radial acceleration of Planet A if it revolves around its parent star at a constant angular speed of 3.97 x 10-6 [rad/s] along a circular orbit?
