Ramon and Sally are observing a toy car speed up as it goes around a circular track. Ramon says, 鈥淭he car鈥檚 speeding up, so there must be a net force parallel to the track.鈥 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think so,鈥 replies Sally. 鈥淚t鈥檚 moving in a circle, and that requires centripetal acceleration. The net force has to point to the center of the circle.鈥 Do you agree with Ramon, Sally, or neither? Explain.
What is free-fall acceleration toward the sun at the distance of the earth鈥檚 orbit? Astronomical data are inside the back cover of the book .
Mass on the frictionless table of FIGURE EX8.13 is connected by a string through a hole in the table to a hanging mass . With what speed must rotate in a circle of radius if is to remain hanging at rest?

FIGURE EX8.13
A asteroid is heading directly toward the center of the earth at a steady . To save the planet, astronauts strap a giant rocket to the asteroid perpendicular to its direction of travel. The rocket generates of thrust. The rocket is fired when the asteroid is away from earth. You can ignore the earth鈥檚 gravitational force on the asteroid and their rotation about the sun.
a. If the mission fails, how many hours is it until the asteroid impacts the earth?
b. The radius of the earth is . By what minimum angle must the asteroid be deflected to just miss the earth?
c. What is the actual angle of deflection if the rocket fires at full thrust for before running out of fuel?
