Step by step solution

01

Given data

The ball of mass 2kg moving in the xy plane at constant speed in a circle of radius 6.5m, with the centre of the circle at the origin 0,0,0m. You can't see what's making it move in a circle. At time t=0 the ball is at location and has velocity0,40,0m/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 direction of the vector p⇀.

(a)

The ball is at x = 6.5 in the negative direction of the x - axis.

The diagram is shown in the figure below where the speed is in the positive direction of the y -axis.

The direction of the momentum will be in the positive direction of the y -axis and from figure 5.75 , the direction which represents the +y -direction is.

As the velocity is given by v⇶Ä=0,40,0m/s, therefore, the momentum p⇶Äis in +y -direction.

04

Find magnitude and direction of (d|p⇀|dt)ρ the parallel component of dp⇀/dt .

(b)

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 two parts that we are taken about are the parallel rate of change of the momentumdp⇶Ädt and the perpendicular rate of change of the momentumdp⇶Ädt.

So, the change of momentum required,

dp⇶Ädt=dp⇶Ädt+dp⇶Ädt

The parallel rate of change of the momentum changes the speed of the object and as we are given the speed is constant, therefore, the parallel rate is zero and it is equal to the rate change of the magnitude of the momentum

dp⇶Ädt=dp⇶Ädtp^=0

So, the direction the rate change of the magnitude of the momentum is zero and it represents by direction from figure 5.75 .

05

Find magnitude and direction of , |p⇀|dp⇀/dtthe perpendicular component of dp⇀/dt .

(c)

The shift in direction caused by the perpendicular rate of change of momentum is referred to as the rate change.

The magnitude of the perpendicular rate change equals the rate change of the direction of the momentum and at speeds much less than the speed of light is given by

dp^dt=P⇶Ädp^dt=mv2R

The magnitude of speed for the ball,

v=x2+y2+z2=02+402+02=40m/s

Now put the values for m, νand R to get P⇶Ädp^dt

role="math" localid="1656908330163" P⇶Ädp^dt=mv2R=2kg40m/s26.5m=492kg.m/s2

The direction changes in the +y -direction, from figure 5.75 , this direction which represents the +y -direction is .

06

Find the direction of F⇀net .

(d)

The ball's motion is circular, and it has the potential to repeat the period.

As a result, the ball's motion and momentum are tangential, and the direction of change in momentum is toward the circle's centre.

Hence, the direction of the net force is toward the centre of the circle in the positive direction of the X - axis as shown in the figure in part (a) which represents in figure 5.75 by, C .

07

Find the vector of F⇀net .

(e)

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

F⇶Änet=dp⇶Ädt=p⇶Ädp^dt=492N

As this change in direction is in +y direction, hence the force is in one direction.

The y component of the forceFy=492N.

Also, there is no force component in z-direction, therefore,Fz=0.

The force vector in the three directions is given by

F⇶Ä=Fxi^+Fyj^+Fzk^

Now put the values for localid="1656910231380" Fx,FyandFz) to get the vector of the tension force

F⇶Ä=Fxi^+Fyj^+Fzk^=0i^+492j^+0k^N=492j^NF⇶Änet=0,492,0N

08

Find the other force.

(f)

We are given two forces act on the ball F1and F2at time t = 0 when the net force is F⇶Änet=0,492,0N.

Where F1=196,-369,0N

The sum of two vectors can be expressed as any vector, so, write the exerted force F⇶Änetas the sum of two other forces: F⇶Ä1and F⇶Ä2

F⇶Änet=F⇶Ä1+F⇶Ä2F⇶Ä2=F⇶Änet-F⇶Ä1

Now put the values for F⇶Änet and F⇶Ä1 to get F⇶Ä2

F⇶Ä2=F⇶Änet-F⇶Ä1=0,492,0N-196,-369,0N=-196,861,0N

The other force is -196,861,0N

Most popular questions from this chapter

(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?

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 Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride. Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal as the wheel turns. The wheel has a radiusand rotates at a constant rate, going around once in a timeT. At the bottom of the ride, what are the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the seat on a rider of mass m? Include a diagram of the forces on the rider.

The angle between the gravitational force on a planet by a star and the momentum of the planet is 61at a particular instant. At this instant the magnitude of the planet’s momentum is 3.1×1029kgm/s, and the magnitude of the gravitational force on the planet is 1.8×1023N. (a) What is the parallel component of the force on the planet by the star? (b) What will be the magnitude of the planet’s momentum after 8h?
