Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary space with a forward speed of 57 km/s. lo the crow's great surprisc, a Klingon ship is 150 km directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 21 km/s. Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just about 4 5s The Enterprise's computers react instantly to brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship? Assume the acceleration is constant Hint: Draw a position versus time graph showing the motions of both the Enterprise and the Klingon ship. Let æn - 0km be the location of the Interprise as it returns from warp drive I low do you show graphically the situation in which the collision is "barely avoided"?

1. a 100kg astronaut (including the space suit) becomes untethered during a space walk and drifts to a distance of 10m from the mother ship. To get back to the ship, he throws his 2.5kg tool kit away with an acceleration of 8.0ms-1 that acts over 0.50s. a) How does throwing the tool kit away help the astronaut in the situation? b) How large is the fact that acts on the tool kit and the astronaut? c) With that speed will the astronaut drift to the mother ship? d) How long will it take for the astronaut to reach the ship?
