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 built a pinball machine that has a banked circular track with radius 0.34 m. The ball shooter launches the ball directly into this circular track before the ball enters into the game. You fire pin balls at a constant speed into the track and adjust the banking angle until it works. The banking angle is 21 degrees. Assume your pin ball machine is on a horizontal plane, how fast is the ball launched into the track, in m/s? Hint: I have a video on this problem about swing pendulum but the results are very similar, except a string length was given instead of path radius and tension was present instead of normal force. Assume friction is negligible.
One side of the roof of a house slopes up at 37 deg. A roofer kicks a round, flat rock that has been thrown into the roof by a neighborhood child. The rock slides straight up the incline with an initial speed of 15 m/s. The coef. of friction between the rock and the roof is 0.40. The rock slides 10.0 m up the roof to its peak. It crosses the ridge and goes into free fall, following a parabolic trajectory above the far side of the roof, with negligible air resistance. Determine the maximum height the rock reaches above the point where it was kicked.
A ball is struck from a height (1.80 m) with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s at an angle of 42.0° above the horizontal. The ball passes through the center of a hoop before returning to the ground which is 1.80 m below the starting point. If the ball is moving horizontally when it goes through the hoop, (hint: make sure you know the condition of equations you want to use.) use g=9.81m/s² 1. how long does it take to reach the hoop? 2. And how high above the ground is the center of the hoop? 3. How far is the ball measured horizontally from the person to where it landed? 40.0° 2.00 m
A person throws a ball with speed 102 m/s at a 45° angle. How many seconds faster would the ball arrive if the person threw the ball at the same speed and the same distance but made the trip in two identical bumps. Assume that there is no loss of speed at the bounce. Hint: Use R = v2/g * sin(2θ) and t=2*vy(sinθ)/g.

Planet X was just discovered orbitinga nearby star! It orbits a start that is 6.9 times themass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away. The acceleration due to gravity thereis 0.07 g. After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to other planets.
