Consider a satellite in a circular orbit above Earth’s surface. In Chapter we will learn that the force of gravity changes only the direction of motion of a satellite in circular motion (and keeps it in a circle); it does NOT change the satellite’s speed. Work done on the satellite by the gravitational force is zero. What is your explanation?
A 4.60-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane with an initial speed of v, = 7.80 m/s (see figure below). The block comes to rest after traveling d = 3.00 m along the plane, which is inclined at an angle of 0 = 30.0° to the horizontal. (a) For this motion, determine the change in the block's kinetic energy. (b) For this motion, determine the change in potential energy of the block-Earth system. (c) Determine the friction force exerted on the block (assumed to be constant). N (d) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? Need Help? Read It Master It The ball launcher in the machine sends metal balls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (see figure) has a force constant of 240 N/m. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined 0 = 10.0° with respect to the horizontal and frictionless. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance x = 8.00 cm.

As shown in the figure, a 0.490kg object is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x. The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the object travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point A, the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The speed of the object at the bottom of the track is va = 12.8 m/s and the object experiences an average frictional force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the object were to reach the top of the track, what would be it’s speed at that point? (c) Does the object actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?
A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle that has a radius of 13 m. The maximum height of the slide is h = 3.2 m, and the ground is tangent to the circle (see the figure).
