Multiple ChoiceSuppose a 1,800-kg car passes over a bump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 20m. Whatforce does the road exert on the car as the car moves over the top of the bump if the car moves at a constant 9 m/s?1610views14rank3comments
Textbook Question(II) At what minimum speed must a roller coaster be traveling so that passengers upside down at the top of a circle (Fig. 5–45) do not fall out? Assume a radius of curvature of 7.6 m. <IMAGE>213views
Textbook Question(II) A proposed space station consists of a circular tube that will rotate about its center (like a tubular bicycle tire), Fig. 5–47. The circle formed by the tube has a diameter of about 1.1 km. What must be the rotation speed (revolutions per day) if an effect nearly equal to gravity at the surface of the Earth, 0.90 g, is to be felt by astronauts walking inside? Which part of the tube do they walk on? <IMAGE>142views
Textbook Question(II) A pilot performs an evasive maneuver by diving vertically at a constant 310 m/s. If he can withstand an acceleration of 9.0 g’s without blacking out, at what altitude must he begin to pull his plane out of the dive (moving in a vertical circular path) to avoid crashing into the sea?167views
Textbook QuestionThe physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch what's happening, you'll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to 'lift off' from the ground. a. A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass m at the top of a leg of length L. Find an expression for the person's maximum walking speed vₘₐₓ.355views
Textbook QuestionSuppose you swing a ball of mass m in a vertical circle on a string of length L. As you probably know from experience, there is a minimum angular velocity ωₘᵢₙ you must maintain if you want the ball to complete the full circle without the string going slack at the top. a. Find an expression for ωₘᵢₙ.509views
Textbook QuestionIn an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 16-m-diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane, as shown in FIGURE P8.51. b. What is the longest rotation period of the wheel that will prevent the riders from falling off at the top?890views
Textbook QuestionA heavy ball with a weight of 100 N (m = 10.2 kg) is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.5-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.5 m/s as it passes through the lowest point. What is the tension in the rope at that point?333views
Textbook QuestionA 500 g ball moves in a vertical circle on a 102-cm-long string. If the speed at the top is 4.0 m/s, then the speed at the bottom will be 7.5 m/s. (You'll learn how to show this in Chapter 10.) (b) What is the tension in the string when the ball is at the top?644views
Textbook QuestionA 500 g ball moves in a vertical circle on a 102-cm-long string. If the speed at the top is 4.0 m/s, then the speed at the bottom will be 7.5 m/s. (You'll learn how to show this in Chapter 10.) (a) What is the gravitational force acting on the ball?278views
Textbook QuestionThe normal force equals the magnitude of the gravitational force as a roller-coaster car crosses the top of a 40-m-diameter loop-the-loop. What is the car's speed at the top?687views
Textbook QuestionThe weight of passengers on a roller coaster increases by 50% as the car goes through a dip with a 30 m radius of curvature. What is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip?731views
Textbook QuestionA car drives over the top of a hill that has a radius of 50 m. What maximum speed can the car have at the top without flying off the road?1325views1rank
Textbook QuestionA Ferris wheel (Fig. 6–35), 22.0 m in diameter, rotates once every 12.5 s. What is the ratio of a person’s apparent weight to her real weight at(b) the bottom? <IMAGE>175views
