A car travels down a straight country road that leads over hills and through valleys. On one particular stretch of road, the carencounters a hill that can be approximated as the top of a circle with a radius rh = 113 m. Later, the car comes to a dip with aradius of curvature ra = 75 m. Assume that the car maintains a constant speed of v = 27 m/s as it goes over the hill and throughthe dip.Figure not to scale.The actual weight of the driver, as measured on a flat stretchof road, is 750 N. What is the apparent weight of the driver atthe top of the hill?What is the apparent weight of the driver at the bottom ofthe dip?Wh =Wa =NN

The figure shows two possible paths for negotiating an unbanked turn on a horizontal portion of a race course. Path A-A follows the centerline of the road and has a radius of curvature PA = 81 m, while path B-B uses the width of the road to good advantage in increasing the radius of curvature to PB = 189 m. If the drivers limit their speeds in their curves so that the lateral acceleration does not exceed 0.68g, determine the maximum speed for each path. 189 m Answers: (VA)max= (VB)max= i i 81 m m/s m/s
In the movie Kill Bill the character Gogo Yubari fights with a meteor hammer, which is a bladed metal sphere on the end of a chain. Let’s assume Gogo is spinning the meteor hammer in a vertical spin, as shown below, with a radius of motion as 1 m. She spins the weapon at 18 m/s. Gogo then lets out more chain, increasing the radius to 1.62 m. What is the new velocity of her weapon?

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 35 m. The runner starts the race at a constant speed. If she completes the 200 m dash in 22.6 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of her centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) as she runs the curved portion of the track?
A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has an 8.00-m radius, at how many revolutions per minute are the riders subjected to a centripetal acceleration equal to that of gravity?

A scooter, starting from rest, accelerates at 2.72m/s^2 on a circular track with a 205m diameter. What is the elapsed time, in seconds, at which the centripetal acceleration of the scooter has the same magnitude as its tangential acceleration?
An accelerometer C is mounted to the side of the roller-coaster car and records a total acceleration of 3.3g as the empty car passes the bottommost position of the track as shown. If the speed of the car at this position is 195 km/h and is decreasing at the rate of 22 km/h every second, determine the radius of curvature p of the track at the position shown. Answer: p-i I ! m 0.73 m
A particle traveling in a circular path of radius 300 m has an instantaneous velocity of 30 m/s and its velocity is increasing at a constant rate of 4 m/s2. What is the magnitude of its total acceleration at this instant?
When a fighter pilot makes a very quick turn, he experiences a centripetal acceleration. When this acceleration is greater than about 4 × g the pilot will usually lose consciousness (“black out”). Consider a pilot flying at a speed of 950 m/s who wants to make a very sharp turn. What is the minimum radius of curvature that he can take without blacking out?
