A bolt is threaded onto one end of a thin horizontal rod, and the rod is then rotated horizontally about its other end. An engineer monitors the motion by flashing a strobe lamp onto the rod and bolt, adjusting the strobe rate until the bolt appears to be in the same eight places during each full rotation of the rod (Fig. 6-42). The strobe rate is 2000 flashes per second; the bolt has mass 30 g and is at radius 3.5 cm. What is the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the rod?

- The “mean” orbital radius listed for astronomical objects orbiting the Sun is typically not an integrated average but is calculated such that it gives the correct period when applied to the equation for circular orbits. Given that, what is the mean orbital radius in terms of aphelion and perihelion?arrow_forwardIn Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for the rockets position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t)=(R3/2+3g2Rt)2/3j where R is the radius of the Earth (6.38 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earths surface (9.81 m/s2). a. Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). b. Plot y(t), vy(t), and ay(t). (A spreadsheet program would be helpful.) c. When will the rocket be at y=4R? d. What are vy and ay when y=4R?arrow_forwardA flea is at point on a horizontal turntable, 10.0 cm from the center. The turntable is rotating at 33.3 rev/min in the clockwise direction. The flea jumps straight up to a height of 5.00 cm. At takeoff, it gives itself no horizontal velocity relative to the turntable. The Ilea lands on the turntable at point . Choose the origin of coor-dinates to be at the center of the turntable and the positive xaxis passing through at the moment of takeoff. Then the original position of the flea is 10.0i cm. (a) Kind die position of point when die Ilea lands. (b) Find die position of point when the flea lands.arrow_forward
- The relationship between the number of variables needed to describe a system, n, and the number of degrees of freedom in the system, d, is: O n= d- 1. O n = 3 d. O n= d+ 1. O n= d.arrow_forward*12-116. The automobile is originally at rest s = 0. If it then starts to increase its speed at v = (0.05t²) ft/s² , where t is in seconds, de- termine the magnitudes of its velocity and acceleration at s = 550ft.arrow_forwardIf the speed at x = 1, v(r = 1) = 3 m/s then the speed at x = 0, v(x=0) is:arrow_forward
- The particle m in Figure is moving in a vertical circle of radius R inside atrack. There is no friction. When m is at its lowest position, its speed is v0. (a) What is the minimum value vm of v0 for which m will go completely around the circlewithout losing contact with the track? (b) Suppose v0 is 0.775vm. The particle will move up the track to some point at P at which itwill lose contact with the track and travel along a path shown roughly by the dashed line.Find the angular position θ of point P. Note to expert: bro please explain how to solve this, write little bit of explaination I don't have a clue about mechanics really struggling.arrow_forward6. a) A pail of water is rotated in a vertical circle of radius 1.00 m. What is the range of speed of the pail if no water is to spill out? Assume the pail is upside down at the top of the circle. [Answer in 3 significant figures.]arrow_forwardon december 25, 2004, during a NASA mission to Saturn, the spacecraft Cassini released a probe named Huygens, which landed on the Saturnian moon titan on January 14, 2005. huygens was released from the main spacecraft at a gentle relative speed of 31 cm/s. As Huygens moved away, it rotated at a rate of 7 revolutions per minute.(a) How many revolutions had huygens completed when it was 150m from Cassini? (b) How far did Huygens moved away from cassini during each revolution? give your answer in metersarrow_forward
- Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force along a line joining them. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it can be written as GMm F According to this law, when mass of both objects is doubled, the force r m becomes two times larger compared to original O becomes four times larger compared to original becomes quarter of the original O becomes half compared to originalarrow_forwardA small trolley of mass 2.0 kg resting on a horizontal frictionless turntable is connected by a light spring to the centre of the table. The relaxed length of the spring is 35 cm. When the turntable is rotated at a speed of 300 rev/min, the length of the spring be- comes 40 cm. Find the force constant of the spring.arrow_forwardA small object with mass 0.200 kg moves with constant speed in a vertical circle of radius 0.500 m.
