A 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.
A Formula One race car with mass 750.0 kg is speeding through a course in Monaco and enters a circular turn at 220.0 km/h in the counterclockwise direction about the origin of the circle. At another part of the course, the car enters a second circular turn at 180 km/h also in the counterclockwise direction. If the radius of curvature of the first turn is 130.0 m and that of the second is 100.0 m, compare the angular momenta of the race car in each turn taken about the origin of the circular turn.
In 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?
Olympic ice skaters are able to spin at about 5 rev/s. (a) What is their angular velocity in radians per second? (b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the skater's nose if it is 0.120 m from the axis of rotation? (c) An exceptional skater named Dick Button was able to spin much faster in the 1950s than anyone since—at about 9 rev/s. What was the centripetal acceleration of the tip of his nose, assuming it is at 0.120 m radius? (d) Comment on the magnitudes of the accelerations found. It is reputed that Button ruptured small blood vessels during his spins.
In circular motion, a tangential acceleration can change the magnitude of the velocity but not its direction. Explain your answer.
Human centrifuges are used to train military pilots and astronauts in preparation for high-g maneuvers. A trained, fit person wearing a g-suit can withstand accelerations up to about 9g (88.2 m/s2) without losing consciousness, (a) If a human centrifuge has a radius of 4.50 m, what angular speed results in a centripetal acceleration of 9g? (b) What linear speed would a person in the centrifuge have at this acceleration?
At its peak, a tornado is 60.0 m in diameter and carries 500 km/h winds. What is its angular velocity in revolutions per second?
Keratinocytes are the most common cells in the skins outer layer. As these approximately circular cells migrate across a wound during the healing process, they roll in a way that reduces the frictional forces impeding their motion. (a) Given a cell body diameter of 1.00 105 m (10 m), what minimum angular speed would be required to produce the observed linear speed of 1.67 107 m/s (10 m/min)? (b) How many complete revolutions would be required for the cell to roll a distance of 5.00 103 m? (Because of slipping as the cells roll, averages of observed angular speeds and the number of complete revolutions are about three times these minimum values.)
The dung beetle is known as one of the strongest animals for its size, often forming balls of dung up to 10 times their own mass and rolling them to locations where they can be buried and stored as food. A typical dung ball formed by the species K. nigroaeneus has a radius of 2.00 cm and is rolled by the beetle at 6.25 cm/s. (a) What is the rolling balls angular speed? (b) How many full rotations are required if the beetle rolls the ball a distance of 1.00 m?
One method of pitching a softball is called the wind-mill delivery method, in which the pitchers arm rotates through approximately 360 in a vertical plane before the 198-gram ball is released at the lowest point of the circular motion. An experienced pitcher can throw a ball with a speed of 98.0 mi/h. Assume the angular acceleration is uniform throughout the pitching motion and take the distance between the softball and the shoulder joint to be 74.2 cm. (a) Determine the angular speed of the arm in rev/s at the instant of release, (b) Find the value of the angular acceleration in rev/s2 and the radial and tangential acceleration of the ball just before it is released, (c) Determine the force exerted on the ball by the pitchers hand (both radial and tangential components) just before it is released.
