Chapter 11, Problem 47AP
You operate a restaurant that has many large, circular tables. At the center of each table is a Lazy Susan that can turn to deliver salt, pepper, jam, hot sauce, bread, and other items to diners on the other side of the table. A fancy flower arrangement is located at the center of each Lazy Susan, and the turning of the flower arrangement is beautiful to you. Because of your interest in model trains, you decide to replace each Lazy Susan with a circular track on the table around which a model train will run. You can load the various condiments in the cars of the train and press a button to operate the train, causing the train to begin moving around the circle and deliver the load to your fellow diners! The train is of mass 1.96 kg and moves at a speed of 0.18 m/s relative to the track. After a few days, you realize that you miss the beautiful turning flower arrangements. So you come up with a new scheme. You return the Lazy Susan to the table and mount the circular track on the platform of the Lazy Susan, which has a friction-free axle at its center. The radius of the circular track is 40.0 cm (measured halfway between the rails) and the platform of the Lazy Susan is a uniform disk of mass 3.00 kg and radius 48.0 cm. You finally equip all of your tables with the new apparatus and open your restaurant. As a demonstration to the diners, you mount one salt shaker and one pepper shaker, having a mass of 0.100 kg each, onto a flatcar and push the button to deliver the condiments to the other side of the table! How long does it take to deliver the condiments to the exact opposite side of the table? Ignore the moment of inertia of the flower arrangement, since its mass is all close to the rotation axis.

Back when I was a kid, I loved to play with my Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels are miniature metal cars that race down lengths of flexible track. The track comes in segments that can be connected together. One thing you can do is make the cars Loop the Loop, as shown in the figure above. Starting at a height, h, the cars race down the track, traverse a circular loop of radius, R, without falling down at the top of the loop, and then continue racing along a section of level track.
If the loop is 9 inches in diameter, what is the minimum height, h, from which the cars can start and still loop the loop without falling down at the top? Neglect friction and air resistance.
An interesting story is often told of baseball star Johnny Bench when he was a rookie catcher in 1968. During a Spring Training game, he kept signaling to star pitcher Jim Maloney to throw a curve ball. Maloney continuously shook off Bench's signal, opting to throw fastballs instead. The rookie catcher walked to the mound and told the veteran Maloney that his fastball wasn't fast enough and that he should throw some curve balls. Bench again signaled for a curve. Maloney shook of the signal and threw a fastball. Before the ball reached the plate, Bench took off his glove; he then caught the pitch barehanded.
Determine the impulse required to stop a 0.145-kg baseball moving at 35.7 m/s (80.0 mi/hr). Answer ______________
If this impulse is delivered to the ball in 0.020 seconds, then what is the force acting between the bare hand and the ball? Answer ______________
A particle of mass m moves in the XY-plane, and its position vector is given by
= a cos wtî + b sin wtĵ
where a, b, and w are positive constants, and a > b. Show that
a. The particle moves in an ellipse.
b. The force acting on the particle is always directed toward the origin.
c. The total work done by the force in moving the particle once around the
ellipse is zero
d. The force is conservative.

- Over the holiday break you have an internship with an ice skating show. An ice skater will start from rest and slide down an ice-covered ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the skater will glide around an ice-covered loop which is the inside of a vertical circle before emerging out onto the skating rink floor. For a spectacular effect, the circular loop will have a diameter of 30 feet. Your task is to determine the minimum height from the rink floor to the top of the ramp for the skater to make it around the loop. When barely making it around, the skater briefly loses contact with the ice at the top of the loop.arrow_forwardGravitational field a.
