Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s. You move to a different place on the course and twelve minutes after you saw her the first time, your friend runs past you again. This time she is traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0° W of S. What is the direction of her average acceleration between those same two times?
1. Where to go? Diego was travelling 5.00 [km], 60° N of E, then 7.00 [km], 45° S of E, and then 8.00 [km], 30° N of E. At the end of this trek, he realized that in the last leg he should have travelled 5.00 [km], 30° W of N instead of the third path he originally took. A. In component form, what path should Diego take to reach his supposed destination? B. Diego now travelled the path you calculated in A. In component form, what now is his displacement from his initial position? C. Having found treasure, Diego called for an airlift. The airlift is located 50 [km], S, from his initial position. In magnitude-bearing form, determine the path the airlift must take to reach Diego.

A radar station sends a signal to a ship which is located a distance 13.8 kilometers from the station at bearing 136° clockwise from the north. At the same moment, a helicopter is at a horizontal range of 19.6 kilometers, at bearing 146° clockwise from the north, with an elevation of 2.56 kilometers. Let east be the î direction, north be the ĵ direction, and up be the direction. a) What If? The ship begins to sink at a rate of 5.50 m/s. Write the position vector (in km) of the ship relative to the helicopter as a function of time as the ship sinks. Assume that the helicopter remains hovering at its initial position and that the sinking rate remains the same even after the ship sinks under the surface.
