Short Answer

Expert verified

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : given information

Mass of the particle m=1.7 x 10-27 kg

Circular trajectory = r=ccoskt2ı^+csinkt2ȷ^

c= 5 m

k= 8 x 104rad/sec2

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Explanation

We can write an equation of particle motion is given as,

r=ccoskt2ı^+csinkt2ȷ^

Where,
c =radius of the circular path

So we can say radius of the path is 5 m

03

Part(b) Step 1 : given information

Mass of the particle m=1.7 x 10-27 kg

Circular trajectory r=ccoskt2ı^+csinkt2ȷ^

c= 5 m

k= 8 x 104rad/sec2

04

Part(b) Step2: Explanation

Velocity is calculated as

v=drdt=ddtccoskt2i^+csinkt2j^=2kct-sinkt2i^+coskt2j^

Substitute the value we get

v=2×(8×104rad/s2)×(5m)×(3s)[-sin(8×104rad/s2)×(3s)2)i+cos(8×104rad/s2)×(3s)2)j]v=2.4×106m/s

05

Part(c) Step 1 : given information

Part(c) Step 1 : given information

Mass of the particle m=1.7 x 10-27 kg

Circular trajectory = r=ccoskt2ı^+csinkt2ȷ^

c= 5 m

k= 8 x 104rad/sec2

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

Force is calculated as

F=ma

Lets find acceleration

a=v=drdt=dvdt=ddt2kct-sinkt2i^+coskt2j^=2kcddtt-sinkt2i^+coskt2j^=2kc-sinkt2i^+coskt2j^+2kt2-coskt2i^-sinkt2j^kt2=8×104×32=7.2×105sinkt2=-0.36andcoskt2=-0.93

a=2×(8×104rad/sec2)×(5m)(-0.36i^-0.93j^)+2×7.2×105(0.93i^+0.36j^)=8×105×2×7.2×105(0.93i^+0.36j^)=1.15×1012(0.93i^+0.36j^)m/s2

Now substitute values we get

F=ma=(1.7×10-27kg)×(1.15×1012(0.93i^+0.36j^)m/sec2)=1.96×10-15(0.93i^+0.36j^)N=1.82×10-15i^+0.71×10-15j^N

The physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch
what’s happening, you’ll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the
ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to “lift off” from the ground.
a. A person’s center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass m at the top of a leg of length L. Find an expression for the person’s maximum walking speed vmax.
b. Evaluate your expression for the maximum walking speed of a 70 kg person with a typical leg length of 70 cm. Give your answer in both m/s and mph, then comment, based on your
experience, as to whether this is a reasonable result. A “normal” walking speed is about 3 mph.

A 1500kg car drives around a flat 200-m-diameter circular track at 25m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force on the car? What causes this force?

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.0-m-high, 20°ramp, sail across a 10-m-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 11m/sat that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires (coefficient 0.02) 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.

A 60 g ball is tied to the end of a 50-cm-long string and swung in a vertical circle. The center of the circle, as shown in FIGURE P8.57, is 150 cm above the floor. The ball is swung at the
minimum speed necessary to make it over the top without the string going slack. If the string is released at the instant the ball is at the top of the loop, how far to the right does the ball hit the ground?

Ramon and Sally are observing a toy car speed up as it goes around a circular track. Ramon says, “The car’s speeding up, so there must be a net force parallel to the track.” “I don’t think so,” replies Sally. “It’s moving in a circle, and that requires centripetal acceleration. The net force has to point to the center of the circle.” Do you agree with Ramon, Sally, or neither? Explain.
