Step by step solution

01

Given Infromation (Part a)

A 100gbead slides along a frictionless wire with the parabolic shape y=2m-1x2.

02

Explanation (Part a) 

According to the information, the equation for parabolic shape is :

y=2m1x2

Differentiating on both sides:

dydt=2(2x)dxdt

Consider

dydt=Vy,dxdt=Vx

Where, Vyis the velocity in ydirection

Vx is the velocity inxdirection

Therefore,

Vy=4x×Vx

Again differentiating on both sides:

dvydt=4x×dvxdt+4×dxdtvx

Consider

dvydt=ay,dvxdt=ax

Where,

ayis the acceleration in ydirection

axis the acceleration inxdirection

Hence, the expression foray=4m-1(vx2+xax)
03

Final Answer  (part a)

An expression foray=4m-1vx2+xax.

04

Given Infromation (Part b)

A 100g bead slides along a frictionless wire with the parabolic shape y=2m-1x2.

05

Explanation (Part b)

According to the information,

mis the mass of the bead slides=0.1kg

role="math" localid="1648350378763" Vxis the velocity in x direction =2.3

Vyis the velocity in ydirection=0

Here,

ay=4ax×x+4×vx2

Substituting above values:

ay=4(0)×ax+4(2.3)2

=21.16m/s2

06

Calculate the net force on the bead

Let's find the net force on the bead

F=may

where,F=net force

m=mass

role="math" localid="1648350883060" ay=acceleration in the yaxis

Therefore,

role="math" localid="1648350944319" =0.1×21.16

=2.116N

x=y2

Differentiating on both sides with t

dudt=122vyy

ax=1222yaxvy22yy

at=(0,0)

ax=0

Fnetx=0

Therefore,

Fnetx,Fnety=(0,2.116N)

The component form of the force is F=(2.12N)j^

07

Final Answer

The component form of the force isF=(2.12N)j^

A 5.0gcoin is placed 15cmfrom the center of a turntable. The coin has static and kinetic coefficients of friction with the turntable surface of μs=0.80and μk=0.50.The turntable very slowly speeds up to 60rpm.Does the coin slide off?

In the absence of air resistance, a projectile that lands at the CALC elevation from which it was launched achieves maximum range when launched at a 45o angle. Suppose a projectile of mass m is launched with speed v0 into a headwind that exerts a constant, horizontal retarding force Fwind=-Fwindi^

a. Find an expression for the angle at which the range is maximum.
b. By what percentage is the maximum range of a 0.50kg ball reduced if Fwind = 0.60 N ?

If a vertical cylinder of water (or any other liquid) rotates about its axis, as shown in FIGURE CP8.71, the surface forms a smooth curve. Assuming that the water rotates as a unit (i.e., all the water rotates with the same angular velocity), show that the shape of the surface is a parabola described by the equationz=ω22gr2

Hint: Each particle of water on the surface is subject to only two forces: gravity and the normal force due to the water underneath it. The normal force, as always, acts perpendicular to the surface.

A 4.4-cm-diameter, 24 g plastic ball is attached to a 1.2-m-long string and swung in a vertical circle. The ball’s speed is 6.1 m/s at the point where it is moving straight up. What is the magnitude of the net force on the ball? Air resistance is not negligible.

conical pendulum is formed by attaching a ball of mass m to a string of length L, then allowing the ball to move in a horizontal circle of radius r. FIGURE P8.47 shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name.
a. Find an expression for the tension T in the string.
b. Find an expression for the ball’s angular speed v.
