The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km. (a) What is the acceleration of the protons (m=1.671027kg)that move around the accelerator at 5of the speed of light? (The speed of light is v=3.00108m/s .) (b) What is the force on the protons?
Check Your Understanding Suppose that Balto in Example 2.10 leaves the game to attend to more important matter, but Astro Clifford and Dug continue playing. Astro and Clifford’s pull on the toy does not change, but Dug rims around and bites on the toy in a different place. With how big a force and in what direction must Dug pull on the toy now to balance out the combined pulls from Clifford and Astro? Illustrate this situation by drawing a vector diagram indicating all forces involved.
Astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless. This means that a clever method of measuring the mass of astronauts is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses, and adjust their diet. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 50.0 N is exerted, and an astronaut’s acceleration is measured to be 0.893m/s2 . (a) Calculate her mass. (b) By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which she orbits experiences an equal and opposite force. Use this knowledge to find an equation for the acceleration of the system (astronaut and spaceship) that would be measured by a nearby observer. (c) Discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut’s acceleration. Propose a method by which recoil of the vehicle is avoided.
Perform the following calculations and express your answer using the correct number of significant digits. (a) A man has two bags weighing 13.5 lb and one bag with a weight of 10.2 lb.

If a wagon with mass 55 kg accelerates at a rate of 0.0255m/s2 , what is the force on the wagon? (The unit of force is called the newton and it is expressed with the symbol N.)
