A rocket-powered hockey puck has a thrust of and a total mass of . It is released from rest on a frictionless table, from the edge of a drop. The front of the rocket is pointed directly toward the edge. How far does the puck land from the base of the table?
A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a -high, ramp, sail across a -wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as he starts up the ramp. He is going at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires (coefficient ) is not negligible. Does he survive, or does he become crocodile food? Justify your answer by calculating the distance he travels through the air after leaving the end of the ramp.
shows two balls of equal mass moving in vertical circles. Is the tension in string greater than, less than, or equal to the tension in string if the balls travel over the top of the circle (a) with equal speed and (b) with equal angular velocity?
Two wires are tied to the 2.0 kg sphere shown in FIGURE P8.45. The sphere revolves in a horizontal circle at constant speed.
a. For what speed is the tension the same in both wires?
b. What is the tension?
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 , and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes .
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?
