On the ride “Spindletop” at the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow vertical cylinder with radius 2.5 m. The cylinder started to rotate, and when it reached a constant rotation rate of 0.60 rev/s, the floor dropped about 0.5 m. The people remained pinned against the wall without touching the floor. (a) Draw a force diagram for a person on this ride after the floor has dropped. (b) What minimum coefficient of static friction was required for the person not to slide downward to the new position of the floor? (c) Does your answer in part (b) depend on the person’s mass? (Note: When such a ride is over, the cylinder is slowly brought to rest. As it slows down, people slide down the wall to the floor.)
A ball of mass 5.0 kg is attached to the end of a 2.2 m long string and whirled around in a circle that describes a vertical plane.
(a) What is the minimum speed that the ball can be moving at and still maintain a circular path? Provide a free-body diagram.(b) At this speed, what is the maximum tension in the string? Provide another free-body diagram.(c) If the ball is rotated in a horizontal circle at the same speed with the end of the string held above the head, what angle does the string make with the horizontal?
I am having trouble with this homework question. I need to draw a free body diagram for "a car going forward, on a straight path, on the highway at 100km/h" and "The space shuttle accelerating vertically just after leaving the launch pad". Please draw them out .

- A car of mass m negotiates a right hand 90° turn at constant speed v on a flat road such that the radius of the turn is given by r. The time the car takes to go around the turn is t. There is friction f between the tires and the road. The car makes the turn at high speed without doing into a skid (slide). After the turn the car continues down the road at constant speed. (A) Draw a free-body diagram which shows the forces acting on the car and the radius of the curve. Assume rolling friction and air drag are negligible (and that no propulsion force is required to maintain a constant speed). Include your coordinate axes. (B) Use Newton's second law to write an equation for the resulting centripetal force. Solve this equation for centripetal force in terms of: the mass of the car m, the radius of the curve r, time to make the curve t, and any needed constants of proportionality. Simplify as possible.
