Chapter 8: Q.4 (page 198)

Tarzan swings through the jungle on a massless vine. At the lowest point of his swing, is the tension in the vine greater than, less than, or equal to the gravitational force on Tarzan? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There must be a net inward force (toward center of circle) so tension must be greater than the gravitational force acting on Tarzan.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The tension acting on the vine will create a centripetal force acting downward which is said to be as centripetal acceleration. Tarzan swings with the help of centripetal acceleration. The schematic diagram is shown in the figure.

02

Explanation

If the forces are equal at lowest point of his swing, he will continue to move in a straight line. If gravity is greater than tension, he will accelerate downward toward ground. So, tension must be greater than the gravitational force acting on Tarzan.

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:

Speed m/sec

Space scientists have a large test chamber from which all the air can be evacuated and in which they can create a horizontal uniform electric field. The electric field exerts a constant horizontal force on a charged object. A 15gcharged projectile is launched with a speed of 6.0m/s at an angle35掳 above the horizontal. It lands 2.9m in front of the launcher. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile?

The 10 mg bead in FIGURE P8.48 is free to slide on a frictionless wire loop. The loop rotates about a vertical axis with angular velocity 蠅. If 蠅 is less than some critical value 蠅c the bead sits at the bottom of the spinning loop. When 蠅 > 蠅c the bead moves out to some angle 胃

  1. What is 蠅c in rpm for the loop shown in the figure?
  2. At what value of 蠅c in rpm is 胃=30o

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鈥檚 trajectory as it travels to the ground

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.
