Chapter 4: Q.3. (page 104)

Tarzan swings through the jungle by hanging from a vine.

a. Immediately after stepping off a branch to swing over to another tree, is Tarzan's accelerationa鈫�zero or not zero? If not zero, which way does it point? Explain.

b. Answer the same question at the lowest point in Tarzan's swing.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. It points along the trajectory of theT .

b. The net acceleration is along the vine that means at the lowest point of the trajectory, the acceleration points up.

Step by step solution

01

Step.1.

The net acceleration of particle in circular motion will never be zero and the net acceleration always in a direction in which the net force acts.

02

Part.(a)

The acceleration of T will never be zero even through the velocity at the extreme point is zero. The change in the direction of velocity gives the acceleration and it points along the trajectory of the T.

03

Part.b.

At the lowest point in T's swing, the acceleration is not zero. The net acceleration is along the net force acting on it. In swinging, the tension in the vine is greater than the weight of T. The net acceleration is along the vine that means at the lowest point of the trajectory, the acceleration points up.

You鈥檝e been assigned the task of using a shaft encoder a device that measures the angle of a shaft or axle and provides a signal to a computer to analyze the rotation of an engine crankshaft under certain conditions. The table lists the crankshaft鈥檚 angles over a 0.6sinterval.

Is the crankshaft rotating with uniform circular motion? If so, what is its angular velocity in rpm? If not, is the angular acceleration positive or negative?

A cannon on a train car fires a projectile to the right with speed v0, relative to the train, from a barrel elevated at angle u. The cannon fires just as the train, which had been cruising to the right along a level track with speedvtrain, begins to accelerate with acceleration a, which can be either positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down). Find an expression for the angle at which the projectile should be fired so that it lands as far as possible from the cannon. You can ignore the small height of the cannon above the track.

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an 30掳angle above the horizontal.

a. How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth?

b. For how much more time was the ball in flight?

27. I An old-fashioned single-play vinyl record rotates on a turntable at 45rpm. What are (a) the angular velocity inrad/s and (b) the period of the motion?
