Chapter 6, Problem 77GP
A hockey puck of mass m is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the center of a table, as shown in Figure 6-73. The hockey puck moves in a circle of radius r. Tied to the other end of the string, and hanging vertically beneath the table is a mass M. Assuming the tabletop is perfectly smooth, what speed must the hockey puck have if the mass M is to remain at rest?

- A road heading due east passes over a small hill. You drive a car of mass m at constant speed v over the top of the hill, where the shape of the roadway is well approximated as an arc of a circle with radius R. Sensors have been placed on the road surface there to measure the downward force that cars exert on the surface at various speeds. The table gives values of this force versus speed for your car: Treat the car as a particle. (a) Plot the values in such a way that they are well fitted by a straight line. You might need to raise the speed, the force, or both to some power. (b) Use your graph from part (a) to calculate m and R.

A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z- position of 2.1 x 10° m through the center of a planet with radius 7.7 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 46.5 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 6 s?arrow_forwardPlanets A and B have masses MA and MB , respectively, where MA>MB , and radii RA and RB , respectively. The centers of the planets are separated by a distance D. A spaceship of mass m uses its engines to fly through the two-planet system a distance r from the center of Planet A along the dashed line shown. Point P is on the dotted line and on the line connecting the centers of the two planets. On the axis attached, sketch a graph of the gravitational potential energy Ug of the two planet–spaceship system as a function of position y along the dashed line shown in the original figure. On the horizontal axis, point y<P is above point P in the figure.

- A very long way from the planet Mars (at R= c0), a martian flying saucer has run out of fuel and its kinetic energy is zero. If you assume that only the gravitational force of Mars were to act on it (i.e., neglect the forces from the sun and other solar system objects), the spacecraft would eventually crash back to the surface of Mars. The mass of Now find the flying saucer's speed when its distance from the center of Mars is R= aRm where the coefficient a > 1. Express the speed in terms of Um and a. • View Available Hint(s) Mars is Mm and its radius is Rm.
