a.
To Calculate: The direction of acceleration.
a.
Answer to Problem 20SSC
The direction of our acceleration is towards the center of the curvature.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A car is moving right in a circular path.
When a body is moving in a circular path, there will be a
So, the acceleration will be toward the center of the curvature as shown in the figure below:
Conclusion:
The direction of acceleration is towards the center of the curvature.
b.
To Calculate: The direction of net force.
b.
Answer to Problem 20SSC
The direction of net force is towards the center of curvature to move the car in a circular path.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A car is moving right in a circular path.
When a body is moving in a circular path, there will be centripetal force is acting towards the center to make the body move in a circular path.
So, the net force will be acting towards the center to make the car move in the circular path.
Conclusion:
The direction of the net force is towards the center of curvature.
c.
To Find: The reason of force acting on the car.
c.
Answer to Problem 20SSC
The force is acting due to the seat of the car.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A car is moving right in a circular path.
A body moving in a circular path would experience a centripetal force acting towards the center. This centripetal force is acting due to the seat of the car.
Conclusion:
The force is acting due to the seat of the car.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
