You swing a bucket full of water in a vertical circle at the end of a rope. The mass of the bucket plus the water is 3.5kg.The center of mass of the bucket plus the water moves in a circle of radius. At the instant that the bucket is at the top of the circle, the speed of the bucket is 4 m/s. What is the tension in the rope at this instant?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tension in the rope at this instant is 8.78N.

Step by step solution

01

Given

The mass of the bucket plus the water is. m=3.5kgThe center of mass of the bucket plus the water moves in a circle of radiusR=1.3m .The speed of the bucket is v=4m/s

02

Definition of force.

A force is a push or pull on an object is because of the interaction of the thing with another object. Every time two things interact, a force is exerted on each of them .The acted force may be of attraction or of repulsion .The two items no longer feel the force after the interaction ends

03

Find the tension in the rope at this instant.

The net force on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum and can be written as the sum of two components.

The parallel rate of change of momentumdp⇶Ädt and the perpendicular rate of change of momentumdp⇶Ädt are the two elements that we are concerned with.

Fnet=dp⇶Ädt=dp⇶Ädtll+dp⇶Ädt

In this case, the force acting on the object is in +y or -y direction, therefore, there is no parallel force and equals zero.

dp⇶Ädt=0

As a result, the rate change is the direction change owing to the perpendicular rate of change.

The net force exerted on the object equals the rate change of the momentum and the magnitude of the perpendicular rate change at speeds much less than the speed of light is given by

Fnet=dp⇶Ädt=mv2R

Also, the object is under two forces, the tension forceFTof the string and its weight, so the net force of both forces is

Fnet=FT+mg

Therefore,

FT+mg=mv2RFT=mv2R-mg

Now put the values for m, v, g , and R to get the tension force

Fr=mv2R-mg=3.5kg4m/s21.3m-3.5kg9.8m/s2=8.78N

Thus, the tension in the rope at this instant is 8.78N.

A comet orbits a star in an elliptical orbit, as shown in Figure 5.41. The momentum of the comet at locationis shown in the diagram. At the instant the comet passes each location labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F, answer the following questions about the net force on the comet and the rate of change of the momentum of the comet:

In the 1970 sthe astronomer Vera Rubin made observations of distant galaxies that she interpreted as indicating that perhaps 90%of the mass in a galaxy is invisible to us ("dark matter"). She measured the speed with which stars orbit the center of a galaxy, as a function of the distance of the stars from the center. The orbital speed was determined by measuring the Doppler shift of the light from the stars, an effect that makes light shift toward the red end of the spectrum ("red shift") if the star has a velocity component away from us, and makes light shift toward the blue end of the spectrum if the star has a velocity component toward us.

She found that for stars farther out from the center of the galaxy, the orbital speed of the star hardly changes with distance from the center of the galaxy, as is indicated in Figure 5.79. The visible components of the galaxy (stars, and illuminated clouds of dust) are most dense at the center of the galaxy and thin out rapidly as you move away from the center, so most of the visible mass is near the center. (a) Predict the speed v ofa star going around the center of a galaxy in a circular orbit, as a function of the star's distance r from the center of the galaxy,assumingthat almost all of the galaxy's mass M is concentrated at the center.

(b) Construct a logical argument as to why Rubin concluded that much of the mass of a galaxy is not visible to us. Reason from principles discussed in this chapter, and your analysis of part (a). Explain your reasoning. You need to address the following issues: (i) Rubin's observations are not consistent with your prediction in (a). (ii) Most of the visible matter is in the center of the galaxy. (iii) Your prediction in (a) assumed that most of the mass is at the center.

This issue has not yet been resolved, and is still a current topic of astrophysics research. Here is a discussion by Rubin of her work: ''Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies '' by Vera C. Rubin, Scientific American, June 1983 (96-108). You can find several graphs of the rotation curves for spiral galaxies on page 101 of this article.

A ball of mass 450 g hangs from a spring whose stiffness is 110N/m. A string is attached to the ball and you are pulling the string to the right, so that the ball hangs motionless, as shown in Figure. In this situation the spring is stretched, and its length is15 cm. What would be the relaxed length of the spring, if it were detached from the ball and laid on a table?

(a) Many communication satellites are placed in a circular orbit around the Earth at a radius where the period (the time to go around the Earth once) is\(24\;{\rm{h}}\). If the satellite is above some point on the equator, it stays above that point as the Earth rotates, so that as viewed from the rotating Earth the satellite appears to be motionless. That is why you see dish antennas pointing at a fixed point in space. Calculate the radius of the orbit of such a "synchronous" satellite. Explain your calculation in detail.

(b) Electromagnetic radiation including light and radio waves travels at a speed of\(3 \times {10^8}\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\). If a phone call is routed through a synchronous satellite to someone not very far from you on the ground, what is the minimum delay between saying something and getting a response? Explain. Include in your explanation a diagram of the situation.

(c) Some human-made satellites are placed in "near-Earth" orbit, just high enough to be above almost all of the atmosphere. Calculate how long it takes for such a satellite to go around the Earth once, and explain any approximations you make.

(d) Calculate the orbital speed for a near-Earth orbit, which must be provided by the launch rocket. (The advantages of near-Earth communications satellites include making the signal delay unnoticeable, but with the disadvantage of having to track the satellites actively and having to use many satellites to ensure that at least one is always visible over a particular region.)

(e) When the first two astronauts landed on the Moon, a third astronaut remained in an orbiter in circular orbit near the Moon's surface. During half of every complete orbit, the orbiter was behind the Moon and out of radio contact with the Earth. On each orbit, how long was the time when radio contact was lost?
