The figure below shows a sphere of mass 4 kg attached to a horizontal rod by two strings of equal length and negligible mass. The rod is rotating about its axis and causes the 4 – kg mass to rotate in a circle centred on the rod. If the sphere is rotating at a speed of 4 m/s when it is at the lowest point in the circle, the tension in each of the strings is 13 m+ 2 m 2 m 4 kg

A light string can support a stationary hanging load of 23.4 kg before breaking. An object of mass m = 2.77 kg attached to the string rotates on a frictionless, horizontal table in a circle of radius r = 0.817 m, and the other end of the string is held fixed as in the figure below. What range of speeds can the object have before the string breaks? 0≤V≤ m/s m
A child is standing on a merry-go-round (u - 16) with a radius of 2 meters. What is the fastest that can he be spun while only using the friction from his feet to stay on? 157 mis 244 m/s 3.14 m/s 177 ms
Suppose that humans have created a colony outside of our solar system on a planet called Wfirst21. Wfirst21 has a mass of 2.65×1025 kg2.65×1025 kg and a day that lasts 23.7 h23.7 h (which defines the rotational period of the planet). The colony is located on the planet's equator. The colonists set up a communications satellite which orbits Wfirst21. The satellite has a circular orbit that keeps it positioned directly above the colony. Calculate the radius ?r of the satellite's orbit in kilometers.
Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 9.84 x 10^6 kg and length 1286 meters. Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 4.77 x 10^5 N to each end of the rod as shown in the diagram, causing the station to rotate about its center. If the motors are left running for 2 minutes and 49 seconds before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the engines stop? 0.73 rpm 0.29 rpm 0.88 rpm 1.32 rpm
Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 6.07 x 10^6 kg and length 613 meters. Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 1.79 x 10^5 N to each end of the rod as shown in the diagram, causing the station to rotate about its center. If the motors are left running for 2 minutes and 39 seconds before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the engines stop?
A student places a coin on a flat disk. The flat disk is allowed to rotate around an axis through its center. The angular velocity of the flat disk gradually increases. The coin initially rotates with the disk but eventually slides off the disk. Which of the following is the best explanation for the coin's behavior? The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration
Unlike a roller coaster, the seats in a Ferris wheel swivel so that the rider is always seated upright. An 80-ft-diameter Ferris wheel rotates once every 24 s. What is the apparent weight of a 40 kg passenger at the lowest point of the circle? What is the apparent weight of a 40 kg passenger at the highest point of the circle?
Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 7.07 x 10^6 kg and length 526 meters.

Now we have a rod-shaped space station of length 1402 m and mass 8.50 x 10^6 kg, which can change its length (kind of like an old-fashioned telescope), without changing its overall mass.

If the length of the rod is reduced to 1.51 m, what will be the new rotation rate of the space station? 5.08 rpm 2.54 rpm 3 8.13 rpm 4 1.52 rpm
