Consider a 2.00-kg object that rotates around a vertical axis at a radius of 33.1
meters. The speed of the object can be written as
v = (0.192s-³)rt²
where r is the radius of the circle and t measured in seconds. Determine the net
force acting upon the object at t = 2.20 seconds. Express your answer in terms of
magnitude and direction.
You find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..
A 52 kg ice skater spins about a vertical axis through her body with her arms horizontally outstretched; she makes 2.0 turns each second. The distance from one hand to the other is 1.50 m. Biometric measurements indicate that each hand typically makes up about 1.25% of body weight. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of one of the skater’s hands. (b) What horizontal force must her wrist exert on her hand? (c) Express the force in part (b) as a multiple of the weight of her hand.
