3. A simple pendulum consists of a pendulum bob of mass M at the end of a "mass-less" string of length L. The pendulum bob oscillates back and forth and is moving at speed v when the string is oriented at a constant angle 0 from vertical. Give answers in terms of L, 0, v, M and/or g. This is similar to the vertical circle from the Circular Motion Experiment worksheet except that we are not going in a full circle. a. Draw the free body diagram of forces acting on the pendulum bob. Include a coordinate system on your diagram showing your choice for the +x and +y directions. b. Write out Newton's 2nd law EF = mã for each direction. X: y: c. What is the tangential acceleration of the pendulum bob? d. Determine the tension of the string. e. What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of the pendulum bob?
There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 12.2 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 2.45 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall? Number Units #
Tidal forces are gravitational forces exerted on different parts of a object by a second object. Their effects are particularly visible on Earth's surface in the form of tides. To understand the origin of tidal forces, consider Earth-Moon system to consist of two spherical bodies, each with a spherical mass distribution. Let RE be the radius of Earth, m be the mass of the Moon, and G be the gravitational constant. Part B Since the gravitational force between two bodies decreses with distance, the accelaeration a(near) experienced by a unit mass located at the point on the earth's surface closest to moon is slightly different from the acceleration a(far) experienced by a unit mass located at the point on the earth`s surface farthest from the moon. Give a general expresion for the quantity a(near)- a(far).

(a) Draw a system diagram of the situation. (b) Draw an FBD of the mass in Earth’s frame of reference. (c) Draw an FBD of the mass in the merry-go-round’s rotating frame of reference. (d) What angle does the string make with the vertical? (e) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the string.
Around 2.5 centuries ago, several physicists of the time came up with the notion of a dark star. This was a star so dense, with so much gravity, that not even light could escape. The calculations used Newtonian mechanics. In class, we calculated the escape speed from the surface of the earth or the distance from the sun, and the mass of the planet or star. Here, the process is partially reversed. Calculate the dark star radius from the mass of the star and the escape speed. Answer in kilometers. c = 3*108 m/s M = 3.2*1030 kg G = 2/3 * 10-10 N*m2/kg2

Problem 1: The figure shows a small sphere of mass m a distance D from the edge of a uniform rod of length L and mass M placed perpendicularly to the rod. The left edge of the rod is placed at the origin of an xy coordinate system. The x-direction points to the right, and the y-direction points up in the figure shown.The rod has a mass of 6.1 kg and the small sphere's mass is half the mass of the rod. The distance D = 1.4 m and the rod has a length of 1.4 m. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force, in newtons, of the ball?
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.
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth's rotation to once per 29.5 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 3.95 x 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. Additionally, use 5.979 x 1024 kg for Earth's mass and 6.376 x 106 m for Earth's radius. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal?
