Chapter 5, Problem 63P
An astronaut is training in an earthbound centrifuge that consists of a small chamber whirled horizontally at the end of a 5.1-m-long shaft. The astronaut places a notebook on the vertical wall of the chamber and it stays in place. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.62, what’s the minimum rate at which the centrifuge must be revolving?

A space exploration program proposes to make artificial gravity on a space station that looks like a circular ring with a 500 m diameter by having the space station rotate. At what angular frequency would the space station have to rotate so that someone standing on a scale in the outer ring of the space station would have an apparent weight the same as they would on Earth?
A 1.80 kg toy race car is slowing down while travelling around a circular horizontal track. If the track has a diameter of 1.51 m and the coefficient of rolling friction between the track and the race car is 0.260, what is the magnitude of angular acceleration?
two 1500 kg masses connected by a 10,000 m long massless rod orbit the earth so that the road is directed radially toward the center of the earth. the acceleration due to gravity at the lower mass is 7.547 m/s^2 and the value at the higher mass is 7.526 m/s^2 . how far from the center of the rod is the center of gravity of the system?

- A point on a rotating turntable 20.0 cm from the center accelerates from rest to a final speed of 0.700 m/s in 1.75 s.

A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.arrow_forwardUnlike a roller coaster, the seats in a Ferris wheel swivel so that the rider is always seated upright.
