A marble on a hemisphereA marble of mass m is at rest at the apex of a hemisphere of radius R. It moves slightly andbegins sliding down the side of the hemisphere. At what angle û does the marble lose contactwith the surface of the hemisphere?R(This problem is from Douglas Giancoli's text, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 2nd ed.(1989).Note: if you solve this problem correctly, you should discover that the angle is independent ofthe mass, gravitational constant, and the radius of the hemisphere – which, if you think aboutit, should be the case.

When an object is moving in circular path of radius R there will be a centripetal acceleration which…

In a judo foot-sweepmove, you sweep your opponent’sleft foot out from under him whilepulling on his gi (uniform) towardthat side. As a result, your opponentrotates around his right footand onto the mat. Figure 10-44shows a simplified diagram ofyour opponent as you face him,with his left foot swept out. Therotational axis is through point O.The gravitational force on himeffectively acts at his center ofmass, which is a horizontal distanced = 28 cm from point O.Hismass is 70 kg, and his rotational inertiaabout point O is 65 kg m2.What is the magnitude of his initialangular acceleration about point O if your pull on his gi is (a) negligibleand (b) horizontal with a magnitude of 300 N and applied atheight h = 1.4 m?
The space shuttle is located in "deep space," where the effects of gravity can be neglected. It has a mass of 170 Mg a center of mass at G, and a radius of gyration (kc) = 15 m about the z axis. It is originally traveling forward at v=3 km/s when the pilot turns on the engine at A, creating a thrust T=600(1-e) kN, where t is in seconds. (Figure 1) Figure e-3 km/s G 1 of 1 2m P
A skateboard of mass m rests on the top of a hemispheric dome of radius R. After giving the skateboard a small kick, imparting an initial speed of vo, it begins rolling down the dome. Let the angle 0 indicate the location of the skateboard as it rolls down the surface of the dome. R 1. Eventually, the skateboard will lose contact with the dome. Given m, R, vo, and g, find the angle 0. at which the skateboard loses contact. Express your answer symbolically (i.e. without numbers). Check your work. Suppose you choose m = 1.5 kg, vo = g = 9.81 m/s. In this case, your answer should evaluate to 0. = 34.2°. 4.5 m/s, R = 4.3 m, and 2. Given m, R, and g, determine the range of speeds for which it is impossible to remain in contact with the wall at all.

An air puck of mass ml is tied to a string and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius R 5 1.0 m on a frietionless horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the center of the table, and a mass of m2 is tied to it. The suspended mass remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves. Verify that ml =0.25 kg on the table top has v= 6.3 m/s when R 1 meter and m2 1 kg

•60 In Fig. 13-50, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m= 125 kg. move in the same circular orbit of radius r= 7.87 x 106 m around Earth but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision Earth course. (a) Find the total mechanical en- ergy EA + ER of the two satellites + Earth system before the collision. (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tan- gled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision. (c) Just after the collision, is the wreckage falling directly toward Earth's center or or- biting around Earth? Figure 13-50 Problem 60.
An approximately spherical exoplanet in a faraway galaxy happens to have a mass that is only (3/5) times our Earth’s mass. Curiously enough, any object abandoned near its surface will fall with the same vertical acceleration as it would on our Earth (that is, the exoplanet's g is equal to our terrestrial g). (a) What must be the average radius of such an exoplanet for this strange coincidence to be true? (b) If you weighed 650 N on the Earth, how much would you weigh on this exoplanet? 1
