Chapter 8: Q.10 (page 198)

A golfer starts with the club over her head and swings it to reach maximum speed as it contacts the ball. Halfway through her swing, when the golf club is parallel to the ground, does the acceleration vector of the club head point (a) straight down, (b) parallel to the ground, approximately toward the golfer鈥檚 shoulders, (c) approximately toward the golfer鈥檚 feet, or (d) toward a point above the golfer鈥檚 head? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration vector of the club head point approximately toward the golfer's feet.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A golfer begins with the club over her head and swings it at full speed as it makes contact with the ball. When the golf club is parallel to the ground halfway through her swing.

02

Explanation

The golf club head will have two components of acceleration because it is moving in a non-uniform circular motion. One towards the circle's centre (centripetal acceleration). One tangential to the circle from the golf club head's location (tangential acceleration). Because the centripetal acceleration is pointing towards the guy and the tangential acceleration is pointing downwards (the golf club is speeding up), the resultant of both vectors will point towards the person's feet.

Two wires are tied to the 300 g sphere shown in FIGURE P8.46. The sphere revolves in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 7.5 m/s. What is the tension in each of the wires?

Elm Street has a pronounced dip at the bottom of a steep hill before going back uphill on the other side. Your science teacher has asked everyone in the class to measure the radius of curvature of the dip. Some of your classmates are using surveying equipment, but you decide to base your measurement on what you鈥檝e learned in physics. To do so, you sit on a spring scale, drive through the dip at different speeds, and for each speed record the scale鈥檚 reading as you pass through the bottom of the dip. Your data are as follows:

A 500 g steel block rotates on a steel table while attached to a 2.0-m-long massless rod. Compressed air fed through the rod is ejected from a nozzle on the back of the block, exerting a thrust force of 3.5 N. The nozzle is 70o颅 from the radial line, as shown in FIGURE P8.62. The block starts from rest.
a. What is the block鈥檚 angular velocity after 10 rev?
b. What is the tension in the rod after 10 rev?

While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find the motion somewhat unpleasant. To take your mind off your stomach, you wonder about the motion of the ride. You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 15m, and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes 25s.

a. What are your speed and the magnitude of your acceleration?

b. What is the ratio of your weight at the top of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?

c. What is the ratio of your weight at the bottom of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?

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 蝇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 蝇min

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