Chapter 10, Problem 1CQ
(a) Why does an ordinary glass dish usually break when placed on a hot stove? (b) Dishes made of Pyrex glass don’t break as easily. What characteristic of Pyrex prevents breakage?
(a)
Expert Solution
To determine
Why an ordinary glass breaks when placed on a hot stove.
Explanation of Solution
Any material upon heating will expand. The expansion depends on the temperature and the co-efficient of expansion (
The co-efficient of expansion refers to the change in length per degree rise in temperature. Glass has a relatively higher co-efficient of linear expansion.
Conclusion: As the temperature of the glass increases upon heating, there is a stress that eventually builds up. This causes the glass to expand first. Further heating causes the glass to break.
(b)
Expert Solution
To determine
The characteristic of Pyrex that prevents breakage.
Explanation of Solution
Any material upon heating will expand. The expansion depends on the temperature and the co-efficient of expansion (
The co-efficient of expansion refers to the change in length per degree rise in temperature. Pyrex has a relatively lesser co-efficient of linear expansion than Glass.
Conclusion: As the temperature of the pyrex increases, there is not much stress that is present when compared to glass. This is due to the lower value of

(a) A luggage carousel at an airport has the form of a section of a large cone, steadily rotating about its vertical axis. Its metallic
surface slopes downward toward the outside, making an angle of 24.5° with the horizontal. A 30.0-kg piece of luggage is placed on
the carousel, 7.46 m from the axis of rotation. The travel bag goes around once in 37.5 s. Calculate the magnitude of the force of
static friction between the bag and the carousel.
Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. N
(b) The drive motor is shifted to turn the carousel at a higher constant rate of rotation, and the piece of luggage is bumped to a
position 7.94 m from the axis of rotation. The bag is on the verge of slipping as it goes around once every 30.5 s. Calculate the
coefficient of static friction between the bag and the carousel.

(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.78 x 104 m/s relative
to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s)? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other
planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your calculations.)
Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your
calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. m/s
(b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational
slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85 x 104 m/s from a point on
Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby). If the probe is launched from the Earth's surface at a speed of
4.10 x 10 m/s relative…
As shown in the figure, a roller-coaster track includes a circular loop of radius R in a vertical plane. A car of mass m is released from rest at a height h above the bottom of the circular section and then moves freely along the track with negligible energy loss due to friction.
i

g.)
h =
(b) If the car is released at some point above the minimum required height, determine the amount by which the normal force on the car at the bottom of the loop exceeds the normal force on the car at the top of the loop. (Consider the moments when the car reaches the top and when it
reaches the bottom again. Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)

- One of the more challenging elements in pairs figure skating competition is the "death spiral" (see the figure below), in which the female figure skater, balanced on one skate, is spun in a circle by the male skater. i The axis of rotation of the pair is vertical and through the toe of the skate on the male skater's leg that is bent backward, the toe being planted into the ice. During the one-armed maneuver first developed in the 1940s, the outstretched arm of the male skater must apply a large force to support a significant fraction of the female skater's weight and also to provide her centripetal acceleration. This force represents a danger to the structure of the wrist of the male skater.

- Shown below is a waterslide constructed in the late 1800's. This slide was unique for its time due to the fact that a large number of small wheels along its length made friction negligible. Riders rode a small sled down the chute which ended with a horizontal section that caused the sled and rider to skim across the water much like a flat pebble. The chute was 9.76 m high at the top and 54.3 m long. Consider a rider and sled with a combined mass of 81.0 kg. They are pushed off the top of the slide from point A with a speed of 2.90 m/s, and they skim horizontally across the water a distance of 50 m before coming to rest. 9.76 m Engraving from Scientific American, July 1888 A (a) 20.0 m/ -54.3 m- 50.0 m (b) (a) Find the speed (in m/s) of the sled and rider at point C. 14.14 m/s (b) Model the force of water friction as a constant retarding force acting on a particle.

To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below. This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension.
