A 12-kg mass package is in a non-atmosphere asteroid of mass 1.7 x 1014 kg and radius 2,000 m. The package is released with a powerful spring whose stiffness is 315 N / m. After being launched, the package is observed to have a speed of 3.0 m / s when it is at a distance of 5,000 m from the center of the asteroid. Calculate how much the spring was compressed to launch the package?

- Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute. Figure P7.62arrow_forwardIn circular motion, a tangential acceleration can change the magnitude of the velocity but not its direction. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially. She measures the heights reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises 51.0 cm above the tangent point. The radius of the wheel is 0.381 m. (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheels angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant).

- An Earth satellite has its apogee at 2500 km above the surface of Earth and perigee at 500 km above the surface of Earth. At apogee its speed is 730 m/s. What is its speed at perigee? Earth’s radius is 6370 km (see below).arrow_forwardA bird flies overhead from where you stand at an altitude of 300.0 m and at a speed horizontal to the ground of 20.0 m/s. The bird has a mass of 2.0 kg. The radius vector to the bird makes an angle with respect to the ground. The radius vector to the bird and its momentum vector lie in the xy-plane. What is the bird’s angular momentum about the point where you are standing?arrow_forwardThe mass of a roller-coaster car, including its passengers, is 500 kg. Its speed at the bottom of the track in Figure P6.16 is 19 m/s. The radius of this section of the track is r1 = 25 m. Find the force that a seat in the roller-coaster car exerts on a 50-kg passenger at the lowest point.arrow_forward
- Must engineers take Earth’s rotation into account when constructing very tall buildings at any location other than the equator or very near the poles?arrow_forwardStars originate as large bodies of slowly rotating gas. Because of gravity, these clumps of gas slowly decrease in size. The angular velocity of a star increases as it shrinks because of answer choices conservation of angular momentum conservation of linear momentum conservation of energy the law of universal gravitation conservation of massarrow_forwardA ball with an initial velocity of 10 m/s rolls off the edge of a horizontal table. Which of the following would decrease the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground?

- What angle would a child at the Red River Ex in their swings make from the vertical as she moved at 3.5 m/s around a circle with a radius of 35 meters?arrow_forwardIf the earth warms significantly, the polar ice caps will melt. Water will move from the poles, near the earth’s rotation axis, and will spread out around the globe. In principle, this will change the length of the day. Why? Will the length of the day increase or decrease?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown up at an angle with a speed of 15m/s. Assuming air resistance can be ignored and the ball does not spin how fast will the ball be moving when it’s caught at the same height from which it was thrown?arrow_forward
