Short Answer

If you wish to reduce the stress (which is related to centripetal force) on high-speed tires, would you use large- or small-diameter tires? Explain.

Centripetal is the force that acted on a body in a circle always the effective inward direction of the circular path.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS :
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1: Definition of Centripetal Force

The centripetal force causes a body to follow a curved path. It always moves in the opposite direction of the body, towards the fixed point of the path's instantaneous centre of curvature.

Centripetal Force

Fc =mv2r

Where

r =Radius

m = Mass

v =Velocity

On increasing the radius, the centripetal force (Stress) would decrease .Therefore; more diameters would cause the less stress.

Step 2: Determine how large diameter tier not to slide off the road

If we reduce the stress on high speed tier, there should be use of large diameter tire as it has more friction so that it would not slide off the road.

In what frame(s) of reference are Kepler’s laws valid? Are Kepler’s laws purely descriptive, or do they contain causal information?

(a) Calculate Earth’s mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the North Pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the radius of the Earth is 6371km from pole to pole. (b) Compare this with the accepted value of M=5.979×1024kg.

A large centrifuge, like the one shown in Figure (a), is used to expose aspiring astronauts to accelerations similar to those experienced in rocket launches and atmospheric re-entries. (a) At what angular velocity is the centripetal acceleration \(10g\) if the rider is \(15.0{\rm{ m}}\) from the centre of rotation? (b) The rider’s cage hangs on a pivot at the end of the arm, allowing it to swing outward during rotation as shown in Figure (b). At what angle \(\theta \) below the horizontal will the cage hang when the centripetal acceleration is \(10g\)? (Hint: The arm supplies centripetal force and supports the weight of the cage. Draw a free body diagram of the forces to see what the angle \(\theta \) should be.)

*Figure (a) NASA centrifuge used to subject trainees to accelerations similar to those experienced in rocket launches and re-entries. (Credit: NASA) (b) Rider in cage showing how the cage pivots outward during rotation. This allows the total force exerted on the rider by the cage to be along its axis at all times.

Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8.0×1011 solar masses. A star orbiting on the galaxy’s periphery is about 6.0×104 light-years from its center.

(a) What should the orbital period of that star be?

(b) If its period is 6.0×107 instead, what is the mass of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of “dark matter” in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the centers of some galaxies.

A mother pushes her child on a swing so that his speed is 9.00 m/s at the lowest point of this path. The swing is suspended 2.00 m above the child’s center of mass.

(a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the child at the low point?

(b) What is the magnitude of the force the child exerts on the seat if his mass is 18.0 kg?

(c) What is unreasonable about these results?

(d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent?
