Suppose you swing a ball of mass m in a vertical circle on a string of length L. As you probably know from experience, there is a minimum angular velocity Ó¬min you must maintain if you want the ball to complete the full circle without the string going slack at the top.
a. Find an expression for Ó¬min

b. EvaluateÓ¬minin rpm for a 65 g ball tied to a 1.0-m-long string.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The expression Ó¬min=gr

b) The value of Ó¬min = 30 rpm for the given ball.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given Information

mass = m
string length= L.

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Explanation

First draw a free body diagram as below then equate forces

At top point equate vertical force, we get

T=(mv2r)-mg

To avoid slack this force must be greater than or equal to zero

That means

mv2r-mg≥0v2r-g≥0(Cancelingm)v≥rg

Substitute v=Ó¬r

Ӭr≥rgӬ≥gr

So

Ó¬min=gr..............................(1)

03

Part(b) Step 1  : Given information

mass = 65 g ball

Length of string =1.0-m

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Explanation

Substitute the values in equation (1), we get

Ó¬min=gr=9.8m/s21m=3.132rad/sec

Convert into rpm

Ӭ=(3.132rad/s)(12πrad)(60sec1min)=29.908rpm≈30rpm.

Communications satellites are placed in circular orbits where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are called geosynchronous orbits. The altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58×107m(≈22,000miles).

a. What is the period of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

b. Find the value of g at this altitude.

c. What is the weight of a2000kgsatellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

In the absence of air resistance, a projectile that lands at the CALC elevation from which it was launched achieves maximum range when launched at a 45o angle. Suppose a projectile of mass m is launched with speed v0 into a headwind that exerts a constant, horizontal retarding force F→wind=-Fwindi^

a. Find an expression for the angle at which the range is maximum.
b. By what percentage is the maximum range of a 0.50kg ball reduced if Fwind = 0.60 N ?

A 500gmodel rocket is resting horizontally at the top edge of a 40-m-high wall when it is accidentally bumped. The bump pushes it off the edge with a horizontal speed of 0.5m/s and at the same time causes the engine to ignite. When the engine fires, it exerts a constant 20Nhorizontal thrust away from the wall.

a. How far from the base of the wall does the rocket land?

b. Describe the rocket’s trajectory as it travels to the ground
