- As their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is impossible for a car moving in a circular path? Assume that the car is never at rest. (a) The car has tangential acceleration but no centripetal acceleration. (b) The car has centripetal acceleration but no tangential acceleration. (c) The car has both centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration.arrow_forwardA car, with mass m, is racing around a circular track with some velocity v. If the car suddenly had its mass doubled and velocity tripled, what would happen to the centripetal acceleration needed for the car to continue circular motion?

He swings a weight of mass m = 0.5 kg that is tiedto a string, and it undergoes counterclockwise circular motion with aradius r = 2 m. The mass does a revolution once every 3 seconds.a) Draw the velocity and acceleration vectors of mass m at points p1,p2, and p3.b) What is the velocity?c) What is the centripetal force?d) What is the magnitude of the tension force in the string?arrow_forwardIn a uniform circular motion, which of the following physical quantity remains constant everywhere on the circular path?

(a) The earth, rotating around the sun (b) A bicycle being ridden around a corner on a banked velodrome (c) A person sitting in a car travelling around a bend In a popular amusement park ride, people stand on a circular platform which sits inside a vertical cylinder. As the cylinder and platform spin about a vertical axis, the riders feel as if they are pushed against the inside wall of the cylinder. Once the rotation rate becomes sufficiently high, the “floor” of the ride drops, leaving those inside effectively pinned to the wall. Draw force diagrams for the following cases. Is your force diagram consistent with the requirements for circular motion? Justify your answer. (a) The platform and the cylinder are spinning slowly. The people inside are standing on the floor. (b) The platform and the cylinder are…arrow_forward

How fast can the car go while remaining in its circular path?)arrow_forward
- The Moon's orbit around the Earth can be considered circular due to the low eccentricity of its orbit. Considering only the Moon's movement around the Earth (and disregarding the Moon's rotation around its own axis), knowing that the Moon takes 27 days to complete one revolution around the Earth, that the Earth-Moon distance is 384400 km and that the magnitude of its velocity is constant during the orbit, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of the Moon? a) Acceleration is zero because velocity is constant. b) a=1,62m/s^2 c) a=9,78m/s^2 d) a=4,44×10^−4m/s^2 e) a=3,4×10^−2m/s^2 f) None of the other alternatives. g) a=2,79×10−^3m/s^2 h) a=7,06×10^−5m/s^2arrow_forwardEach of the space shuttle's main engines is fed liquid hydrogen by a high pressure pump.
