A ball of mass m moves along a track in the shape of vertical circular loop. There are 2
forces acting on the ball -- the normal force exerted by track (Ntrack) and gravity (mg).
Ignore friction and air resistance.
The vectors v (velocity) and a (total acceleration) have an angle ◊ between them, which
changes as the ball moves.
Check all the answers which are true statements. There may be more than one correct
answer!
when the ball is on the way up the loop, 0 > 90°º
the magnitude of a is always smaller than g, no matter how fast the ball moves
0 = 90° at the "side" points (halfway up the loop)
at the bottom of the loop, Ntrack is stronger than mg
the ball falls off the track if Ntrack
= 0
An Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. The masses have the values M(1): 27.0Kg and m(2)= 11.0Kg. Assume that the rope and pulley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley.
What is the magnitude of the masses' acceleration a?
What is the magnitude of the tension T in the rope?
A tourist looks up at a tall obelisk and desires to determine the height of this object. He estimates that he is 278 meters from the base of the obelisk and the angle from the horizontal is 52.1 degrees. At that moment, a bird drops a twig from the top of the obelisk. How long, in seconds, does it take for the twig to fall to the ground? Assume no initial downward velocity and no drag.

- The 1.0 kg block in the figure is tied to the wall with a rope. It sits on top of the 2.0 kg block. The lower block is pulled to the right with a tension force of 20 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction at both the lower and upper surfaces of the 2.0 kg block is μkμk = 0.42. What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardYou are working as an expert witness for the defense of a container ship captain whose ship ran into a reef surrounding a Caribbean island. The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information has been presented, and attorneys on both sides have stipulated that the information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.50 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef, and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107 kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water and…arrow_forwardIn deep space, an astronaut is whipping a heavy tool around in a circle by a taut cable.

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the truck bed is Usb=0.50, the coefficient of rolling friction between the truck's tires and the road is Urt=0.03. The truck comes to an unbanked curve in the road having a 40m radius. What is the maximum speed with which the truck can take the curve without damaging the wine glasses? Note that in order for the wine glasses to not be damaged, the box they're in should not slide on the truck bed and the truck itself should not slide on the road while taking the curve.arrow_forwardNeglect the diameter of the small pulley attached to body A and determine the magnitude of the total velocity of B if the velocity which body A has to the right is va = 1.07 m/s, and the distances are x = 1.51 m and h = 0.83 m.
