A pail of water is rotated in a vertical circle of radius 1.00 m. (a) What two external forces act on the water in the pail? (b) Which of the two forces is most important in causing the water to move in a circle? (c) What is the pail’s minimum speed at the top of the circle if no water is to spill out? (d) If the pail with the speed found in part (c) were to suddenly disappear at the top of the circle, describe the subsequent motion of the water. Would it differ from the motion of a projectile?

- A space station, in the form of a wheel 120 m in diameter, rotates to provide an artificial gravity of 3.00 m/s2 for persons who walk around on the inner wall of the outer rim. Find the rate of the wheels rotation in revolutions per minute that will produce this effect.arrow_forwardThe accompanying figure shows a frictionless channel in the shape of a segment of a circle with center at "O". The channel has been anchored to a frictionless horizontal tabletop. You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r." Consider the following distinct forces: A downward force of gravity. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O. A force in the direction of motion. A force pointing from O to q. Which of the above forces is (are) acting on the ball when it is within the frictionless channel at position "q"?arrow_forwardSuppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (even at the top of the circle!). If your arm is 0.65 m long (from shoulder to fist) and the distance from the handle to the surface of the water is 17 cm, what minimum speed is required?arrow_forward
- A spherical raindrop of mass 0.0128 g and radius 1.45 mm falls from a cloud that is at a height of 1139 m above the ground. Assume the drag coefficient for the raindrop is 0.60 and the density of the air is 1.3 kg/m3. What is the raindrop's terminal speed? And what would the raindrop's speed just before landing on the ground if therewere no drag force (no air resistance)?arrow_forwardIn a grand prix race of mass m= 600 kg as it travels on a fast track on a circular arc of radius r = 100 m because of the shape of the car and the wings on it. The passing air exerts a negative lift FL downward on the car. If the coefficient of static friction between the tire and the track is 0.75 and if the car is on the verge of sliding out of the turn when its speed is 28.6 m/s, what is the magnitude of the negative lift acting downward on the car?arrow_forwardWhat is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 29 km/h and the ms between tires and track is 0.32?arrow_forward
- A ball on a string is spun in a circle over someone's head. If the ball has a mass of 0.75 kg, spins at a steady speed of 3.0 m/s, and sweeps out a circle with a radius of 0.50 m, what will be the force the person's hand must exert on the string to bend the ball's path into a circle?arrow_forwardA bucket of mass 2.00 kg is whirled in a vertical circle of radius 1.10 m. At the lowest point of its motion the tension in the rope supporting the bucket is 25.0 N.(a) Find the speed of the bucket.(b) How fast must the bucket move at the top of the circle so that the rope does not go slack?arrow_forwardA physics major is working to pay her college tuition by performing in a traveling carnival. She rides a motorcycle inside a hollow, transparent plastic sphere. After gaining sufficient speed, she travels in a vertical circle with radius 13.0 m. She has mass 70.0 kg, and her motorcycle has mass 40.0 kg. (a) What minimum speed must she have at the top of the circle for the motorcycle tires to remain in contact with the sphere? (b) At the bottom of the circle, her speed is twice the value calculated in part (a). What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the motorcycle by the sphere at this point?arrow_forward
- A car of mass 622 kg is driving around a curve with a circular arc of radius 20 m. If the car drives at a speed of 12 m/s, what is the minimum value of the coefficient of friction between the car's tires and the road that will keep the car on the road?arrow_forwardAn airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 460 km/h. If the wings of the plane are tilted 26° to the horizontal, what is the radius of the circle (in m) in which the plane is flying? (See the figure.) Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an "aerodynamic lift" that is perpendicular to the wing surface.arrow_forwardAn automobile moves on a level horizontal road in a circle of radius 30 m. (i.e. the road is flat, not banked) The coefficient of friction between tires and road is 0.50. The maximum speed with which this car can round this curve, and the direction of the frictional force is: (note: you may use g = 10 m/s/s) 10 m/s; radially inward 10 m/s; radially outward 12 m/s; radially inward 12 m/s; radially outward 14 m/s; radially inward 14 m/s; radially outward Not enough information is given.arrow_forward
