Concept explainers
In the space at right sketch the position vectors for point C at the beginning and at the end of a small time interval t.
1. Label the change in angle
What is the distance that point C travels during
2. Use our answer above and the definition of linear speed u., derive an algebraic expression for the linear speed of point C in terms of the angular speed
What does your equation imply about the relative linear speeds for points farther and farther out on the wheel? Is this consistent with your answer to part A?

- A golfer starts with the club over her head and swings it to reach maximum speed as it contacts the ball. Halfway through her swing, when the golf club is parallel to the ground, does the acceleration vector of the club head point (a) straight down, (b) parallel to the ground, approximately toward the golfer's shoulders, (c) approximately toward the golfer's feet, or (d) toward a point above the golfer's head? Explain. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.arrow_forwardI need help with part c, can you write out the sentence with the answer please, thank you.arrow_forward1. The mass m = 178 g in the figure on the right (above) is moving in a circular path of radius 22 cm at a constant speed. It takes 2.6 seconds to make 5 revolutions. How fast is the mass traveling? Approximate pi to 3.14 for this calculation. Present your answer with three significant figures. 2. The mass m = 180g in the figure on the right (above) is moving in a circular path of radius 19 cm at speed 1.250 m/sec. What is the force on the spring? Present your answer with three significant figures.arrow_forward
- Show your work clearly, including a description or drawing of your coordinate system (origin, positive direction).arrow_forwardPlease explain step c how to find the correct formula for tangential accerlation? And please show free body diagram thank youarrow_forwardA ball of mass m moving with velocity v⃗ i strikes a vertical wall as shown in (Figure 1). The angle between the ball's initial velocity vector and the wall is θi as shown on the diagram, which depicts the situation as seen from above. The duration of the collision between the ball and the wall is Δt , and this collision is completely elastic. Friction is negligible, so the ball does not start spinning. In this idealized collision, the force exerted on the ball by the wall is parallel to the x axis.What is the magnitude F of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall?arrow_forward
- add the vectors GRAPHICALLY in 1 2 and 3 and please show your work with encoded solutions and not hand writtenarrow_forwardA golfer hits a golf ball from the ground with an initial speed of 42 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal. The ball hits the ground on the fairway, at a height 1.75 m below its initial height. Please answer all of the following questions regarding this scenario and show your work: 1. How far away does the golf ball hit the ground? 2. What is the velocity of the golf ball the moment before it hits the ground? Give your answer in terms of its speed and the angle it makes with the horizontal.arrow_forward) An object follows as shown below. What is the displacement from the last point to the starting point? Express your answer (a) in unit vector notation, and (b) as a magnitude and direction.arrow_forward
- can you answer d please? (d) Draw the velocity vectors, theta and the resultant velocity vector at this time.arrow_forwardA student has assembled an arrangement of tracks on which a steel ball has the motion represented by the v versus t graph at the right. The ball is released from rest (v = 0 cm/s) at x = 46 cm when t = 0 s. a. At what time (to the nearest second) was the ball at x = 188 cm? Show your work, explaining how you determined your answer from the v versus t graph. b. What was the magnitude of the average velocity of the ball over the entire time interval shown on the graph (i.e., between t = 0 s and t = 20 s)? Show all work.arrow_forwardHello, can you help me with this problem? So far, part A, B, and C is done.arrow_forward
