While driving fast around a sharp right turn, you find yourself pressing against the car door. What is happening?
(a) Centrifugal force is pushing you into the door.
(b) The door is exerting a rightward force on you.
(c) Both of the above.
(d) Neither of the above.
A car at the Indianapolis 500 accelerates uniformly from the pit area, going from rest to 270 km/h in a semicircular arc with a radius of 220 m. Determine the tangential and radial acceleration of the car when it is halfway through the arc, assuming constant tangential acceleration. If the curve were flat, what coefficient of static friction would be necessary between the tires and the road to provide this acceleration with no slipping or skidding?
A coin is placed 13.0 cm from the axis of a rotating turntable of variable speed. When the speed of the turn-table is slowly increased, the coin remains fixed on the turntable until a rate of 38.0 rpm (revolutions per minute) is reached, at which point the coin slides off. What is the coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable?
The mass of the 鈥減lanet鈥 Pluto was not known until it was discovered to have a moon. Explain how this enabled an estimate of Pluto鈥檚 mass.
In the International Space Station which orbits Earth, astronauts experience apparent weightlessness because
(a) the station is so far away from the center of the Earth.
(b) the station is kept in orbit by a centrifugal force that counteracts the Earth's gravity.
(c) the astronauts and the station are in free fall towards the center of the Earth.
(d) there is no gravity in space.
(e) the station's high speed nullifies the effects of gravity.
