Textbook Question
Chapter 2.5, Problem 2.3CE
Figure 2.11 shows the motion of various objects:
Case 1. A person on a moving Ferris wheel
Case 2. A person on a loop-the-loop roller coaster
Case 3. The tire on a moving bicyclc
Case 4. The person on the bicycle
Consider the displacement of points on each object, and decide whether the object is undergoing pure translational motion and therefore may be modeled as a particle.
2.3 If the displacement of every point on the object is the same, the object is undergoing purely translational motion and may be modeled as a particle.
Case 1. A person on a Ferris wheel may be modeled as a particle.
Case 2. A person on a loop-the-loop roller coaster may not be modeled as a particle because the person flips upside down as he moves along the track.
Case 3. The tire on a bicycle may not be modeled as a particle.
Case 4. The person on a bicycle may be modeled as a particle.
