Concept explainers
A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bumps in the groove run into the stylus, causing it to oscillate. The equipment converts those oscillations to electrical signals and then to sound. Suppose that a record turns at the rate of

- A new dwarf planet was observed recently in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It has an orbital period of 7.93 E 7 s. The ratio from the law of harmonies is approximately 2.98 E−19 s2/m3. What is its average distance from the sun? 1. 2.40 E 11 m 2. 2.66 E 11 m 3. 2.77 E 11 m 4. 3.76 E 11 marrow_forwardAn object moves in a circle of radius R at a constant speed with a frequency of 4.9 rev/s. Its acceleration is 8.5 m/s^2. If you want to change only the frequency so that the acceleration is reduced by a factor of 4, what is the new frequency in rev/s?arrow_forwardA small object with mass 0.200 kg moves with constant speed in a vertical circle of radius 0.500 m. It takes the object 0.200 s to complete one revolution (a) What is the translational speed of the object? (b) What is the frequency? (c) As the object passes through the lowest point in its motion, what is the direction of the acceleration of the object? upward downward The acceleration is zero and has no direction. (d) As the object passes through the lowest point of its motion, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object?arrow_forward
- 5. A particle moves in a circular path of radius r with speed v. It then increases its speed to 2v while traveling along the same circular path. By what factor has the period of the particle changed? (а) 0.25 (b) 0.5 (c) 2 (d) 4 (e) impossible to determine (f) none 6. A particle moves along a path, and its speed increases with time. In which of the followir cases are its acceleration and velo vectors parallel? a) when the path is circular b) when the path is straight c) when the path is a parabola d) never 7. As a projectile thrown at an upward angle moves in its parabolic path (such as in the figure), at what point along its path are the velocity and acceleration vectors for the projectile perpendicular to each other? (a) nowhere (b) the highest point (c) the launch point (d) never (e) none 8. Are officers in highway patrol more interested in (a) your average speed or (b) your instantaneous speed as you drive? (c) None 9. A particle moves along a path, and its speed increases with…arrow_forwardI whirl John (mass 0.27 kg) over my head in a circle. There is a spring scale between my hand and the string, so I can measure the force of tension in the string, which I find to be 2.12 N. I measure the length of the string (the radius of the circle) and find it to be 1.34 m. Assuming that John's speed is not changing, how fast is he going?arrow_forwardA car tire is 62.0 cm in diameter. The car is traveling at a speed of 16.0 m/s. What is the tire's rotation frequency, in rpmrpm? What is the speed of a point at the top edge of the tire? What is the speed of a point at the bottom edge of the tire?arrow_forward
- A ball is attached to a string and spun around in a horizontal circle. The length of the string is 1.12 m, the period of the motion is 0.766 s, and the tension on the string is 25.0 N. What is the mass of the ball?arrow_forwardA car’s tachometer records the rotational frequency of the crankshaft. A car engine is idling at 500 rpm. When the light turns green, the crankshaft rotation speeds up at a constant rate to 2500 rpm over an interval of 3.0 s. How many revolutions does the crankshaft make during these 3 s?arrow_forwardDetermine the following (a) if the left cable suddenly breaks, what is the new radius? (b) what is the minimum angular velocity inrpm to sustain the motionarrow_forward
- Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?arrow_forwardA pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a radio beam the way a lighthouse emits a light beam. We receive a radio pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is found by measuring the time between pulses. Suppose a pulsar has a period of rotation of T = 0.0238 s that is increasing at the rate of 6.24 x 10- 8 s/y. (a) What is the pulsar's angular acceleration α? (b) If α is constant, how many years from now will the pulsar stop rotating? (c) Suppose the pulsar originated in a supernova explosion seen 1070 years ago. Assuming constant α, find the initial T.arrow_forwardA spacecraft is in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At th etime t = 0 hours, it is at its apogee (highest point), 1000 km above the earth's surface. It is at its perigee (lowest point), 100 km above the surface 50 minutes later. Assuming that distance from the earth varies sinusoidally with time, write an equation and find the first 3 positive values of t for which the spacecraft is 200 km from the surface.arrow_forward
