Spring Gun: Planet X was just discovered orbiting a nearby star! It orbits a start
that is 6.9 times the mass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away.
The acceleration due to gravity there is 0.07
g.
After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to
other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 3.7 m/s.
What would happen if you were to launch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° above
horizontal on Planet X?
(a) What maximum height would the projectile reach?
(b) How far would the projectile travel before it hit the ground?
Assume the projectile lands at the same height it was launched from.
P.2)
In this exercise you will see, from a
different point of view, why the weight transfers toward the
back when a car accelerates forward. If the car accelerates for-
ward at 0.2g, then a force S must act, equal to 0.2mg. Imagine
that the car, rather than riding on the ground, is traveling
through space. In this case there are no positional constraints.
We can ignore gravity since the car is in a zero g environment.
Now imagine that a force S acts on the bottom of the tires, as
shown, so that the center of mass feels an acceleration equal
to 0.2gi. In the absence of gravity and the ground, calculate
the response of the car, treating it as a single rigid body. What
forces N1 and N2 must be exerted on the car to maintain zero
rotational acceleration and zero vertical acceleration? How
N1
N2
do these forces affect a car that's in contact with the ground?
When an object accelerates at 9.8 m/s2 (or 32 ft/s2), we say it accelerates with 1 g. This is true whether the object is falling under gravity, or due to something else. Using the constant-acceleration approximation, determine how many g's are involved at Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster. According to the park, it goes 0 to 170 mph in 3.8 s on the horizontal track, before turning up vertically. Round the final answer to three decimal places.
