- A 50-kg ice skater goes around a circle of radius 4 m at a constant speed of 2 m/s on a level ice rink. What are the magnitude and direction of the force that the ice exerts on the skater (the total force, not just the horizontal or vertical component of the force)arrow_forwardCurrent Attempt in Progress In 1956. Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constructed. Ignoring Earth's rotation, find the change in your weight if you were to ride an elevator from the street level, where you weigh 527 N. to the top of the building.

At what point in the circular motion would you expect the rope to break? Group of answer choices bottom top left rightarrow_forward5. When you whirl a ball on a cord in a vertical circle, you find a critical speed at the top for which the tension in the cord is zero. This is because the force of gravity on the object itself supplies the necessary centripetal force. How slowly can you swing a 2.5 kg ball like this so that it will just follow a circle with a radius of 1.5 m?arrow_forward

- 2) Base your answer to the question on the information below and on your knowledge of physics. A gas-powered model airplane has a mass of 4.50 kilograms. A student exerts a force on a cord to keep the airplane flying around her at a constant speed of 50.0 meters per second in a horizontal, circular path with a radius of 100 meters. Calculate the magnitude of the centripetal force exerted on the airplane to keep it moving in this circular path. [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units. ]arrow_forward2. A car of mass 1.1 x 103 kg travels around a frictionless, banked curve of radius 85 m. The banking is at an angle of 190 to the horizontal. a) Draw a free body diagram for the above scenario. b) What constant speed must the car move at to travel safely around the curve? c) How does the required speed for a more massive vehicle, such as a truck, compare with the speed required for this car?arrow_forward
