When a large star becomes a supernova, its core may be compressed so tightly that it becomes a neutron star, with a radius of about 20 km (about the size of the San Francisco area). If a neutron star rotates once every second, (a) what is the speed of a particle on the star’s equator and (b) what is the magnitude of the particle’s centripetal acceleration? (c) If the neutron star rotates faster, do the answers to (a) and (b) increase, decrease, or remain the same?
A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 37 km/h at the 52-m mark. He then maintains this speed for the next 97 meters before uniformly slowing to a final speed of 31 km/h at the finish line. Determine the maximum horizontal acceleration which the sprinter experiences during the run. Where does this maximum acceleration value occur?

a) A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is commonly uscd to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm- diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm, as shown in Fig. PI1-35. The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum torque this turbine applies on the pivot. A hemisphere at two different orientations for Re > 10 40 cm C04
