Chapter 5, Problem 11P
* Rolling is a combination of linear and circular motion. In order to study rolling motion, we perform the following experiment. We mark three points A. B, and C on a bicycle wheel and observe how these points move while the bicycle is pushed forward 2 cm, a distance much smaller than the radius of the wheel. Figure P5.11 shows a long-exposure photo of the experiment. The camera (i.e., the observer) is standing still on the ground. A is the point where the wheel is initially touching the ground. B is the point at the wheel’s axis, and C is the point on the top of the wheel, directly above point A (a) Determine the displacements of points A. B. and C as observed by the stationary observer. (Hint: Use similar tangles.) (b) Using your answers from part (a), determine the speed of the points A, B, and C with respect to the ground for the bicycle that is moving at constant speed v How would the answers to part (b) change if the observer were moving in the same direction as the bicycle but (c) with the same speed as the bicycle or (d) twice as fast as the bicycle?

Below are a number of situations involving circular motion. In each case, identify the source of the force needed to keep the objects in question moving in their circular paths.
Question c
The physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch what's happening, you'll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to "lift off" from the ground.
A.
A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass m at the top of a leg of length L.
Find an expression for the person's maximum walking speed vmax
Express your answer in terms of the variables L and appropriate constants.
b.)Evaluate your expression for the maximum walking speed of a 70 kg person with a typical leg length of 70 cm . Give your answer in m/s.
c.) Give your answer in mph.
