Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Problem An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter. Solution By vector-component approach, we list down the given in a table as follows: x-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) Given A = 50 m NE m B = 180 m 72° NW m C = 150 m S m m Resultant m Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector is R = With a direction of e = O NW Therefore, the vector needed for him to successfully get back home is Rhome = OSE m EE

1.) Jason Renie set a world record of 77.0 m for motorcycle jump. Assume that he left the take-off ramp at 12.0° to the horizontal and that the take- off and landing heights are the same. Determine his take-off speed (in m/s). 2.) A model of a helicopter rotor has four blades, each 3.40 m long from the central shaft to the blade tip. The model is rotated in a wind tunnel at 550 rev/min. What is the radial acceleration (in m/s²) of the blade tip? 3.) A tourist in Cebu dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap.

Here you are designing a motorcycle stunt where the motorcycle leaves a ramp at an angle θ and lands on another ramp of the same height. You need to know where to place the second ramp. You will make a mathema1cal model to predict the range (i.e., to predict how far the motorcycle will land from the first ramp).
Initial height = 27 m. Initial velocity = 23 m/s. Initial angle = 29 degrees. Find the velocity when it reaches the ground (just before it hits). a) Enter your answers for both the magnitude and direction of the velocity. Enter just the numerical answers below, including units
