Question
A race car starts from rest on a circular track. The car
increases its speed at a constant rate at as it goes once
around the track. Find the angle that the total accelera-
tion of the car makes—with the radius connecting the
center of the track and the car—at the moment the car
completes the circle.

To make this happen, he attaches a string to the sled, passes the string through the center of a vertical pole, and anchors the other end of the string to a teddy bear, a distance L from the pole, on a different level. He will give the sled a little push to get it m started traveling at a constant speed v. Since he might want to sell the bear later, he will not glue it down and has to rely on the friction between the bear and the surface, which has a coefficient of static friction µ. If the mass of the snowman and sled combined is m, what is the minimum mass of the bear mpear for which this motion is possible? Express your answer in terms of m, L, d, µ, v, and g (the acceleration due to gravity). Mbear 2arrow_forwardAn undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit.
