Accepted Answer

$$F_c = \frac{mv^2$}{R}$$

Question 13

A food tray of mass 1.0 kg pushes a milk carton of mass 0.5 kg on a frictionless surface. If the total force applied to the tray is 9.0 N, what is the acceleration of the system?

Accepted Answer

$$a = \frac{9.0}{1.5} m/s$^2$$

Question 14

An elevator of mass 800 kg is moving downward at 10 m/s and slows to a stop over 25 m. What is the tension $$T in $$the supporting cable while the elevator is being brought to rest?

Accepted Answer

$$T = m(g + a_y)$$

Question 15

A glider of mass $$m_1 is $$connected to a hanging mass $$m_2 by a $$massless string over a frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration $$a of $$the system?

Accepted Answer

$$a = \frac{m_2$ g}{m_1$ + m_2$}$$

Question 16

A ball attached to a wire of length $$L$$ moves in a horizontal circle of radius $$R at $$constant speed, making an angle $$	heta$$ with the vertical. What is the tension $$T in $$the wire?

Accepted Answer

$$T = \frac{mg}{\cos 	heta}$$

Question 17

A Ferris wheel rotates at constant speed. At the lowest point of the ride, how does the normal force on a passenger compare to their weight?

Accepted Answer

The normal force is greater than the passenger's weight.

Question 18

A sled moves in a circle of radius $$R on $$frictionless ice, attached by a rope to a fixed post. If the rope breaks, what path will the sled follow?

Accepted Answer

It will move in a straight line tangent to the circle at the point where the rope breaks.
