A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially. She measures the heights reached by drops mov- ing vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn Figure P7.8 rises 51.0 cm above the tangent point. The radius of the wheel is 0.381 m. (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheel's angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant). Problems 8 and 69.

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an aileron roll. During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a straight flight path, by using its ailerons to set the wings in circular motion. If it takes the plane 35s to complete the circle and each wing length is 4.6m, what is the acceleration of the wing tip? O A. 0.69 mis? OB.0. 15 m/s? OC14 mis? OD.6.7 mis?

Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes.Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes,bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosureis rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as inFigure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinderand then cooled, forming the finished product. Turningthe cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metalstrongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward theaxis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outerradius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and givehigh structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of eachbit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required?State the answer in revolutions per minute.

Ex. 37 : A racing car completes 5 rounds of a circular track in 2 minutes. Find the radius of the track if the car has uniform centripetal acceleration of r m/s?.
Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
