Do you feel yourself thrown to either side when you negotiate a curve that is ideally banked for your car’s speed? What is the direction of the force exerted on you by the car seat?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The direction of the force exerted is on either side of the curve.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Force

A force is an influence that can alter an object's motion. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. Intuitively, the force can be described as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

When a car turns around a banked curve of ideal banking θ, the slope of the road helps the passengers negotiate the curve. The greater the angle of the slope θ, the faster can take the curve and negotiate a force on either side.

02

Determine the direction of the Force

If we turn towards the left, the force is towards the right and this is just because that vertical force acting on the car is zero and only the normal force has a horizontal component that negotiates the curve in a direction on either side of the curve.

Microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 6rev/min. What is this in revolutions per second? What is the angular velocity in radians per second?

Suppose a child is riding on a merry-go-round at a distance about halfway between its center and edge. She has a lunch box resting on wax paper, so that there is very little friction between it and the merry-go-round. Which path shown in Figure will the lunch box take when she lets go? The lunch box leaves a trail in the dust on the merry-go-round. Is that trail straight, curved to the left, or curved to the right? Explain your answer.

What is the ideal banking angle for a gentle turn of \(1.20{\rm{ km}}\) radius on a highway with a \(105{\rm{ km}}/{\rm{h}}\) speed limit (about \(65{\rm{ mi}}/{\rm{h}}\)), assuming everyone travels at the limit?

Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in Figure. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is \({\bf{15}}.{\bf{0}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}\) and the downward acceleration of the car is \({\bf{1}}.{\bf{50g}}\)?.

Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites

(a) Calculate the speed of a satellite in an orbit900 km above Earth’s surface.

(b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite’s orbit at an angle of90°relative to Earth. What is the velocity of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it?

(c) Given the rivet is 3.00 mmin size, how long will its collision with the satellite last?

(d) If its mass is0.500 g, what is the average force it exerts on the satellite? (e) How much energy in joules is generated by the collision? (The satellite’s velocity does not change appreciably, because its mass is much greater than the rivet’s.)
