Chapter 5: Q4 (page 206)
Tarzan swings back and forth on a vine. At the microscopic level, why is the tension force on Tarzan by the vine greater than it would be if he were hanging motionless?
As the vine stretches more, that pulls up more Tarzan.

An engineer whose mass is holds onto the outer rim of a rotating space station whose radius isand which takes to make one complete rotation. What is the magnitude of the force the engineer has to exert in order to hold on? What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the engineer?
Question: Tarzan swings from a vine. When he is at the bottom of his swing, as shown in Figure 5.63, which is larger in magnitude: the force by the Earth on Tarzan, the force by the vine (a tension force) on Tarzan, or neither (same magnitude)? Explain how you know this.
In each of the following cases identify all objects in the surroundings that exert forces on the system, and draw a free-body diagram for the system. Assume that air resistance is negligible. (a) You hit a baseball with a bat. Choose the baseball as the system, and consider the instant of contact with the bat. (b) You are playing with a yo-yo. Choose the yo-yo as the system. As the yo-yo moves downward, you pull up on the string.
There is no general analytical solution for the motion of a three-body gravitational system. However, there do exist analytical solutions for very special initial conditions. Figure shows three stars, each of mass m. which move in the plane of the page along a circle of radius r. Calculate how long this system takes to make one complete revolution. (In many cases three-body orbits are not stable: any slight perturbation leads to a breakup of the orbit.)
What is the minimum speedthat a roller coaster car must have in order to make it around an inside loop and just barely lose contact with the track at the top of the loop (see Figure 5.76)? The centre of the car moves along a circular arc of radius. Include a carefully labelled force diagram. State briefly what approximations you make. Design a plausible roller coaster loop, including numerical values for vand R.
