Chapter 6, Problem 6.64AP
A student builds and calibrates an accelerometer and uses it to determine the speed of her car around a certain unbanked highway curve. The accelerometer is a plumb bob with a protractor that she attaches to the roof of her car. A friend riding in the car with the student observes that the plumb bob hangs at an angle of 15.0° from the vertical when the car has a speed of 23.0 m/s. (a) What is the centripetal acceleration of the car rounding the curve? (b) What is the radius of the curve? (c) What is the speed of the car if the plumb bob deflection is 9.00° while rounding the same curve?

- You are working as an expert witness for the defense of a container ship captain whose ship ran into a reef surrounding a Caribbean island. The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information has been presented, and attorneys on both sides have stipulated that the information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.50 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef, and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107 kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water and…arrow_forwardThe 1.0 kg block in the figure is tied to the wall with a rope.

The force of tension in each strand pulls at the junction. The net force at the junction is zero. In other words, the resultant of all three force vectors is zero at the junction. The gravitational force on the spider makes it exert a downward force of 0.15 N on the junction. The two sloping strands are perpendicular to each other. We have chosen the x and y axes to be along those strands as shown. The force of the right strand on the junction has magnitude Tx force of the left strand on the junction has unknown magnitude T,y. a) Calculate Ty. b) Calculate the angle between the x axis and the horizontal direction. Hint: The SI unit of force is the newton, which is abbreviated as N. You must consider three force vectors. The x components of all three vectors must add to zero, and the y components must also add to zero. Note that the coordinate system is "rotated" which is Tx Ty 0.127 Ν. The a…arrow_forward

- The 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.
