Why do you feel thrown to the outside when a car in which you are riding goes around a curve, even though there is no force acting on you in that direction? simple explanation
Estimate the speed at which the drag on a 150-g steel ball becomes equal to about 1% of its weight. (The density of steel is about 7900 kg/m3, and C for a sphere is about equal to 0.5.) Take the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3.
The speed is m/s.

- If you release a ball while inside a freely falling elevator, the ball remains in front of you rather than falling to the floor because the ball, the elevator, and you all experience the same downward gravitational acceleration. What happens if you repeal this experiment with a helium-filled balloon?arrow_forwardAn amusement park ride consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up against the wall when the floor drops away (Fig. P5.60). The coefficient of static friction between person and wall is s, and the radius of the cylinder is R. (a) Show that the maximum period of revolution necessary to keep the person from falling is T=(42Rs/g)1/2. (b) If the rate of revolution of the cylinder is made to be somewhat larger, what happens to the magnitude of each one of the forces acting on the person? What happens in the motion of the person? (c) If the rate of revolution of the cylinder is instead made to be somewhat smaller, what happens to the magnitude of each one of the forces acting on the person? What happens in the motion of the person?arrow_forwardA person stands on a spring scale in an elevator car as shown in Figure 5.5. Which of these sourcesthe Earth, spring scale, elevator car. and cableexert an external force if the system consists of: a. Only the person? b. The person and the spring scale? c. The person, the spring scale, and the elevator car? FIGURE 5.5arrow_forward
- The gravitational force on the basketball in Figure 4.6 is ignored. When gravity is taken into account, what is the direction of the net external force on the basketball—above horizontal, below horizontal, or still horizontal? Figure 4.6 The same force exerted on systems of different masses produces different accelerations. (a) A basketball player pushes on a basketball to make a pass. (The effect of gravity on the ball is ignored.) (b) The same player exerts an identical force on a stalled SUV and produces a far smaller acceleration (even if friction is negligible). (c) The free-body diagrams are identical, permitting direct comparison of the two situations. A series of patterns for the free-body diagram will emerge as you do more problems.arrow_forwardThe observer in the accelerating elevator of Example 5.8 would claim that the weight of the fish is T, the scale reading, but this answer is obviously wrong. Why does this observation differ from that of a person outside the elevator, at rest with respect to the Earth?arrow_forwardReview. The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.21 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 18.0 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 170 ms. The ball starts from rest, (a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the hall?arrow_forward
- A pilot of weight w=170 lb in a jet aircraft executes a loop-the loop, as shown in Figure 4. In this maneuver, the aircraft moves in a vertical circle of radius 2.70 km at a constant speed of 225 m/s. Determine the ratio of the forces exerted by the seat on the pilot at the bottom and at the top of the loop. FIG 4arrow_forward2) What is the direction of the gravitational force of the earth acting on the skier (A,B,C,D,E,F)?arrow_forward1a. In an effort to extend AIT TV coverage in Ghana and West Africa without the help of any television platform in the country or anywhere in the world; AIT put into the orbit a satellite. Assuming the distance between the orbit where the satellite is located and the earth at sea level is 100000 metres; prove that, the speed, the acceleration and the period of the satellite can be determined with the help of the following constants.Mearth = 5.98 x 1024 kg,Rearth = 6.37 x 106 m)G=6.673 ᵡ 10-11Nm2/Kg2 b. The AIT satellite described in question 1a is a LEO satellite, assuming AIT wants to switch the LEO satellite to Geostationary; where in space (distance) must the satellite be placed with reference to the surface of the earth to orbit the earth in 24 hours. The constants in question 1a hold.arrow_forward
- A 0.150-Kg ball on the end of a 1.10-m-long cord is swung in a vertical circle. a-) Determine the minimum speed the ball must have at the top of its arc so that the ball continues moving in a circle. b-) Calculate the tension in the cord at the bottom of the arc, assuming the ball is moving at twice the speed of part (a)arrow_forwardmm.2 Humpback whales sometimes catch fish by swimming rapidly in a circle, blowing a curtain of bubbles that confuses a school of fish and traps it in a small area, where the whales can easily catch and eat them. Suppose a 25,000- kg humpback whale swims at 2.3 m/s in a circle of radius 8.6 m . What centripetal force must the whale generate?arrow_forwardWhile at the carnival you go on a ride called “The Centripetal Monster”. This ride consists of a circularroom 3 meters in radius, which spins. You stand against the wall of the room as it spins. Once the ridereaches its maximum speed the floor drops away and you stick to the wall!(a) Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting upon you.(b) Assuming that the coefficient of static friction between you and the wall is 0.8, with what velocity mustthe room spin at so that you don’t fall?(c) What is your acceleration?arrow_forward
