A car initially traveling eastward turns north by traveling in a circular path at uniform speed as shown in Figure P7.15. The length of the arc ABC is 235 m, and the car completes the turn in 36.0 s. (a) Determine the cars speed. (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration when the car is at point B? Figure P7.15
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
Two planets in circular orbits around a star have speed of v and 2v . (a) What is the ratio of the orbital radii of the planets? (b) What is the ratio of their periods?
Two birds begin next to each other and then fly through the air at the same elevation above level ground at 22.5 m/s. One flies northeast, and the other flies northwest. After flying for 10.5 s, what is the distance between them? Ignore the curvature of the Earth.
(a) Calculate Earth's average speed relative to the Sun. (b) What is its average velocity over a period of one year?
A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of 30 m. If he completes the 200 m dash in 23.2 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of his centripetal acceleration as he runs the curved portion of the track?
Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
A car initially traveling eastward turns north by traveling in a circular path at uniform speed as shown in Figure P6.3. The length of the arc ABC is 235 m, and the car completes the turn in 36.0 s. (a) What is the acceleration when the car is at B located at an angle of 35.0? Express your answer in terms of the unit vectors i and j. Determine (b) the cars average speed and (c) its average acceleration during the 36.0-s interval. Figure P6.3
