(a)
To Calculate:The maximum value of angular speed of sun and the time period corresponding to the maximum angular speed of the sun.
(a)

Answer to Problem 21P
The maximum value of angular speed of sun is
The time period corresponding to the maximum angular speed of the sun is
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Universal gravitational constant,
Radius of the sun,
Measured
Moment of inertia for a sphere about axis through its center,
Time period of sun is
Formula used:
The gravitational attraction force on mass
The centripetal force on the mass
Here
Calculation:
The above two forces are equal in magnitude, but to estimate maximum angular speed, we must use inequality as below:
The maximum value of angular speed of sun is
The time period corresponding to the maximum angular speed of the sun is
Conclusion:
The maximum value of angular speed of sun is
The time period corresponding to the maximum angular speed of the sun is
(b)

If the statement is false, correct the statement to make it true. 12. An object in uniform circular motion has a constant velocity while experiencing centripetal acceleration. 13. An object travelling in uniform circular motion experiences an outward centrifugal force that tends to pull the object out of the circular path. 14. An object with less inertia can resist changes in motion more than an object with more inertia. 15. For an object sliding on a horizontal surface with a horizontal applied force, the frictional force will always increase as the applied force increases.arrow_forward
