Chapter 6: Q6.3-9CQ (page 219)

As a skater forms a circle, what force is responsible for making her turn? Use a free body diagram in your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Centripetal force is responsible for the circular motion of the skater.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of centripetal force

The centripetal force causes a body to follow a curved path. It always moves in the opposite direction of the body, towards the fixed point of the path's instantaneous centre of curvature.

The mass of the Skater is:m

The velocity of the skater is:v

The radius of the circle formed is:r

The weight of the skater is:W=mg

The centripetal force is =Fc

02

Free body diagram

The free鈥揵ody diagram when the skater forms a circle is shown below:

The expression for centripetal force is given as:

Fc=mv2r

A centripetal force is force that is necessary to keep the skater in a circular motion. The centripetal force is always acting towards the centre of the radius of curvature.

Newton鈥檚 laws of motion and gravity were among the first to convincingly demonstrate the underlying simplicity and unity in nature. Many other examples have since been discovered, and we now expect to find such underlying order in complex situations. Is there proof that such order will always be found in new explorations?

Is there a real force that throws water from clothes during the spin cycle of a washing machine? Explain how the water is removed.

A mother pushes her child on a swing so that his speed is9.00m/s at the lowest point of this path. The swing is suspended 2.00 mabove the child鈥檚 center of mass.

(a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the child at the low point?

(b) What is the magnitude of the force the child exerts on the seat if his mass is 18.0 kg?

(c) What is unreasonable about these results?

(d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent?
