Chapter 5, Problem 2P
* You swing a rock tied to a string in a vertical circle. (a) Determine the direction of the acceleration of the rock as it passes the lowest point in its swing. Construct a consistent force diagram for the rock as it passes that point. How does the force that the string exerts on the rock compare to the force that Earth exerts on the rock? Explain. (b) Repeat this analysis as best you can for the rock as it passes the highest point in the swing. (c) If the string is tied around your finger, when do you feel a stronger pull—when the rock is at the bottom of the swing or at the top? Explain.

- 5. A coin is placed on a stereo record revolving at 45 rpm. (a) In what direction must the coin accelerate to remain on the record? (b) Determine the acceleration rate of the coin when it is placed 5.0, 10, and 15 cm outward from the center of the record. (c) What type of force is the “centripetal force” (causing this acceleration)? (d) Determine the minimum value of the static coefficient of friction for which the coin would not slide at any of these locations. Explain the reasoning behind this result.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are correct? Select all correct. Question 6 options: Centripetal acceleration is the result of the sum of other forces. If an object is moving at a constant speed in a circle, then every external force must point towards the center of the circle. If the speed of an object is constant, then its acceleration must be zero. The centripetal acceleration is the same whether the object moves clockwise or counter-clockwise.arrow_forwardProblem: A block is resting on a ramp as shown in the figure below. You can change the inclination angle θ by raising one end of the ramp. The block has a mass mb=6.5 kg. At the interface between the ramp and the block, the coefficient of static friction is μs=0.4, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.28. I managed to calculate that: slip angle is θ= 21.8 degrees acceleration is 1.09 m/s^2. I am trying to find: 1. how long does it take from the time it slips to travel a distance d=0.95 m down the ramp?arrow_forward
- Under good conditions, a car can travel at a maximum speed of vmax around a particular unbanked curve. In the aftermath of an ice storm, however, driving at that same speed will cause the car to slide off the road. Which of the statements below best describes why this is true? a. The friction force is no longer strong enough to balance the centripetal force and give the car zero acceleration. b. The friction force is needed to do negative work on the car to reduce the car’s kinetic energy. c. The friction force no longer provides a strong enough unbalanced force to change the car’s velocity quickly enough to stay on the curve. d. The car “floats” on the ice reducing the gravitational force which is what keeps the car on the road. e. [All of the above.]arrow_forward1.Explain in your own words about how gravitational force works between two isolated objects and use this understanding to explain how a satellite can remain at the same place above the surface of the rotating earth.2. In an experiment to study Hooke’s law for solid material, the extension for three different wires A, B and C were obtained for various applied force as shown in TABLE Q3b.a.Consider all the extensions were within the elastic limit.

(b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed? (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?arrow_forward
- Assume that friction does not do work on the rolling object and that air resistance is negligible. Use Ei = Ef to express v2 in terms g, L, delta, and the ratio I/MR2. Suppose an object starts from rest and moves a distance L with a constant acceleration a. Recall the kinematic formula that relates its final velocity v2 to the acceleration a and L. You are home! Combine the previous two results to get a formula for the acceleration of an object that rolls without slipping down an incline. You should express a in terms of g, delta, and the ratio I/MR2.arrow_forwardWhy are NASCAR tracks banked, angled up, on the curves? a) A banked track provides a normal force to supplement friction as a radial force. b) Banking reduces the amount of static friction necessary between the tires and the track at a particular speed. c) A banked curve allows cars to safely drive faster than an unbanked curve. d) All of the above is correct Please explain answerarrow_forwardIn an effort to rev up his class, Mr. H does a demonstration with a bucket of water tied to a 1.3-meter long string.
