A 6x10-4 kg object is moving uniformly on a horizontal circular path of radius r = 6.3 m. a. Find the period, T, the time for one rotation if its speed is 5x104 m/s. b. Calculate its centripetal force.
A bead of mass m slides without friction along a curved wire with shape z = f(r) where r = Vr2 + y², i.e. the distance from the z-axis. The wire is rotated around the z-axis at a constant angular velocity w. Gravity acts downward along the z-axis with a constant acceleration g. a) Using Newton's second law in an inertial frame, derive an expression for radius ro of a fixed circular orbit (i.e. a solution with r = ro = const.). What is the normal force the wire applies to the bead to keep it in a circular orbit? b) Show that the equation of motion for r(t) (general equation not the circular motion) is F(1 + f'(r)²) + i² f'(r)f"(r) + gf'(r) – w?r = 0. Using this verify your answer to part (a). c) Consider small displacements from the circular orbit, r = ro+e(t).
