In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron (mass )orbits a proton at a distance of . The proton pulls on the electron with an electric force of. How many revolutions per second does the electron make?
A projectile with initial velocity experiences the variable force , where is in .
a. What is the projectile鈥檚 speed at s?
b. At what instant of time is the projectile moving parallel to theaxis?
In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 5.0-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will 鈥渟tick鈥 to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. A sign next to the entrance says 鈥淣o children under 30 kg allowed.鈥 What is the minimum angular speed, in rpm, for which the ride is safe?
A small bead slides around a horizontal circle at height y inside the cone shown in FIGURE CP8.69. Find an expression for the bead鈥檚 speed in terms of a, h, y, and g.
