Chapter 6: Q9Q (page 139)

Figure 6-16 shows the overhead view of the path of an amusement-park ride that travels at constant speed through five circular arcs of radii,R0,2R0and3R0. Rank the arcs according to the magnitude of the centripetal force on a rider traveling in the arcs, greatest first.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rank of the arcs according to the magnitude of the centripetal force on the rider traveling in the arcs isR4>R2=R3>R1=R5 .

Step by step solution

01

The given data

a) The rider is riding at a constant speed.

b) Arc radii from the figure for arcs 1 to 5 are:

R1=3R0R2=2R0R3=2R0R4=R0R5=3R0

02

Understanding the concept of the centripetal force

Using the concept of centripetal acceleration with the radius of the arc, we can get the required values of the accelerations for constant speed and variable radii.

Formula:

The centripetal force due to circular motion,

F=mv2r (1)

03

Calculation of the magnitude of the centripetal force to rank the arcs

From the relation of the acceleration to the radius of the arc of equation (1), we can get thatFc is inversely proportional to the radius of the curve R .

Thus the rank of the arcs according to the magnitude of the centripetal force isR4>R2=R3>R1=R5 .

A car weighing 10.7kNand traveling at 13.4 m/swithout negative lift attempts to round an unbanked curve with a radius of 61.0 m. (a) What magnitude of the frictional force on the tires is required to keep the car on its circular path? (b) If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.350, is the attempt at taking the curve successful?

A ski that is placed on snow will stick to the snow. However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding. Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a gentle 200 mslope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61 swith standard skis to 42 swith the new skis. Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis. Assuming a 3.0掳slope, compute the coefficient of kinetic friction for (c) the standard skis and (d) the new skis.

A police officer in hot pursuit drives her car through a circular turn of radius 300mwith a constant speed of 80.0km/h. Her mass is55.0kg. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the officer on the car seat? (Hint: Consider both horizontal and vertical forces)

(b) Write an expression for the magnituderequired to put the chest on the verge of moving as a function of the angle 胃.

A 68kgcrate is dragged across a floor by pulling on a rope attached to the crate and inclined 15掳above the horizontal. (a) If the coefficient of static friction is 0.50, what minimum force magnitude is required from the rope to start the crate moving? (b) If 渭k=0.35 , what is the magnitude of the initial acceleration of the crate?
