Accepted Answer

TA = TC \u003e TD \u003e TB

Question 8

An object in a circular orbit near the surface of a planet (gravity: $$6.7\ \mathrm{m/s^2$}$$; radius: $$9,800\ \mathrm{km}) is $$experiencing uniform circular motion. What is its orbital velocity?

Question 9

A mosquito runs head-on into a truck. Which statement is true during the collision?

Accepted Answer

The mosquito exerts the same force on the truck as the truck exerts on the mosquito.

Question 10

A 1600 kg car takes a 50-m-radius unbanked curve at 15 m/s. What is the size of the friction force on the car?

Use $$f = m \frac{v^2$}{r}.$$

Accepted Answer

$$7200$$

Question 11

A space station is constructed as a 1200-m-diameter cylinder that rotates about its axis. What rotation period will provide 'normal' gravity ($$g = 9.8\ \mathrm{m/s^2$}$$)?

Accepted Answer

$$T = m \frac{v^2$}{r}$$

Question 15

A 175 kg box is pulled with a total force of 535 N and moves at constant speed. What is the normal force acting on the box?

Use $$N = mg.$$

Accepted Answer

$$1715 N$$

Question 16

A car of mass $$m$$ moves in a circle of radius $$r at $$speed $$v on a $$flat road. What is the minimum coefficient of friction required to prevent slipping?

Use $$\mu = \frac{v^2$}{g r}.$$
