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

- I 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 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_forward3. A simple pendulum consists of a pendulum bob of mass M at the end of a "mass-less" string of length L. The pendulum bob oscillates back and forth and is moving at speed v when the string is oriented at a constant angle 0 from vertical. Give answers in terms of L, 0, v, M and/or g. This is similar to the vertical circle from the Circular Motion Experiment worksheet except that we are not going in a full circle. a. Draw the free body diagram of forces acting on the pendulum bob. Include a coordinate system on your diagram showing your choice for the +x and +y directions. b. Write out Newton's 2nd law EF = mã for each direction. X: y: c. What is the tangential acceleration of the pendulum bob? d. Determine the tension of the string. e. What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of the pendulum bob?arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardA pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a radio beam the way a lighthouse emits a light beam.

- An object moves in a circle of radius R at constant speed with a period T. If you want to change only the period in order to cut the object's acceleration in half, the new period should be?arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. A 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 = 0.0379 s that is increasing at the rate of 3.61 x 106 s/y.

- An amusement park ride spins its rider in a circle with a radius of 2.0 m. Determine the minimum frequency of rotation of the circle that would keep the rider from falling if the friction coefficient between the rider and the wall is 0.68. Express your answer in units of Hz (cycles per second). Use g=10 N/kg. Hint: The required friction force is the weight of the person. The normal force of the wall on the rider causes the friction.arrow_forwardThe mine skip is being hauled to the surface over the curved track by the cable wound around the 36-in. drum, which turns at the constant clockwise speed of 114 rev/min. The shape of the track is designed so that y = x²/49, where x and y are in feet. Calculate the magnitude of the total acceleration of the skip as it reaches a level of 1.8 ft below the top. Neglect the dimensions of the skip compared with those of the path.
