Chapter 5, Problem 10MCQ
If you put a penny on the center of a rotating turntable, it does not slip. However, if you place the penny near the edge, it is likely to slip off. Which answer below explains this observation?
a. The penny moves faster at the edge and hence needs a greater force to keep it moving.
b. The edge is more slippery since the grooves are farther apart.
c. The radial acceleration is greater at the edge and the friction force is not enough to keep the penny in place.
d. The outward force responsible for slipping is greater at the edge than at the middle.

The barrel is spun up and the floor drops away. Riders feel as if they are pinned to the wall by a force something like the gravitational force. This is a fictitious force sensed and used by the riders to explain events in the rotating frame of reference of the barrel. Explain in an inertial frame of reference (Earth is nearly one) what pins the riders to the wall, and identify all of the real forces acting on them.arrow_forwardHelicopters have a small propeller on their tail to keep them from rotating in the opposite direction of their main lifting blades.

- A student pushes a hollow ball with a small amount of force causing it to roll quickly across the room. The student then pushes a solid ball with the same amount of force. Which statement demonstrates an understanding of force and its effects on an object? A. The force on both balls was the same; therefore each ball pushes back with the same amount of force. B. The hollow ball pushes back with a greater force than the solid ball, because the solid ball moved faster and further. C.
