4) Use your free body diagram and the idea of centripetal acceleration to identify the mistake in each student's statement: Student 1: "The Moon is in space. Therefore, there cannot be any forces on the moon. That is why the moon stays up in the sky instead of crashing into the Earth." Student 2: "There should be two forces on the Moon: a gravity force toward the Earth and a centrifugal force pointing away from the Earth. Because these two forces are balanced the Moon does not crash into the Earth. Student 3: "There should only be one force on the Moon- the force of gravity toward the Earth. However, because the Moon is so far away, the force of gravity is too weak to move that much mass, that is why the Moon does not crash into the Earth."

The centripetal force of an object of mass is given by F(r)=mv^2 / r, where v is the speed of rotation and r is the distance from the center of rotation. Need help in explaing what concepts are being used and why it is important. Thank you Answer the following: Draw a graph or figure to represent this situation. Describe how the concepts from this module can be applied in this case. Find the rate of change of centripetal force with respect to the distance from the center of rotation. Provide another example of a scenario that involves the same concept.

True or False: An object moving at a constant speed in a circle has a zero acceleration. Explain your answer An object is revolving in a vertical circle. Draw a free-body diagram and apply the dynamics of circular motion to write equations at at the top of the circle, and At the bottom of the circle. The ball is swung in the horizontal direction. What force must a person exert on a string attached to the 0.5 kg ball to make it revolve in a horizontal circle of radius 3.0 m. The ball makes 120 rpm.

You roll a marble along the inside surface of a crochet ring so that it moves in a circular path. In the image are two views of this situation: an overhead view and a horizontal view looking along the surface of the table. a. In both of these views, label all forces acting on the marble. b. What force or forces provide the centripetal force on the marble in this situation?
Based on the data below: 1. How did the change in radius, while keeping everything constant, affect the stopper as it was spinning? 2. How did the increase in mass (number of stoppers), while keeping everything constant, affect the stopper as it was spinning? 3. How did the change in hanging mass (m2), while keeping everything constant, affect the stopper as it was spinning? 4. What are the implications of the percent error calculations between the calculated centripetal forces and the hanged masses for the following: i) TABLE A ii) TABLE B iii) TABLE C
Radius= 25 cm. Fig (a) If the stopper moves in a horizontal circle, but the string is not perpendicular to the pipe, can you figure out the radius? Fig (b) 25 cm Radius Analysis 1. Why does increasing the tension force decrease the period of revolution? 2. If the stopper moves as shown in the figure (b) above, is the centripetal force still equal to the tension force? Draw a free body diagram to help you see. Is it less than or more than the tension force?
