If the cars centripetal acceleration is 17.8 m/s2 , what is the distance between the car and the center of the track? Correct answer: 181.69 m. Explanation: Basic Concept: ac = r 2 Given: = 0.313 rad/s ac = 17.8 m/s2 Solution: r= ac 2 17.8 m/s2 = (0.313 rad/s)2 = 181.69 m

rogers (nr9358) UCM volle (301) 005 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points The orbit of a Moon about its planet is approximately circular, with a mean radius of 4.44 108 m. It takes 25.8 days for the Moon to complete one revolution about the planet. Find the mean orbital speed of the Moon. Correct answer: 1251.5 m/s. Explanation: Dividing the length C = 2r of the trajectory of the Moon by the time T = 25.8 days = 2.22912 106 s of one revolution (in seconds!), we obtain that the mean orbital speed of the Moon is v= C 2r = T T 2 (4.44 108 m ) = 2.22912 106 s = 1251.5 m/s .

Explanation: The Pole is 0 m from the axis of rotation, so ac = (0 m) (2 rad/day)2 = 0 m/day2 = 0 m/s2 009 10.0 points What angular speed (in revolutions per minute) is needed for a centrifuge to produce an acceleration of 707 times the gravitational acceleration 9.8 m/s2 at a radius of 10.5 cm ? Correct answer: 2453.01 rev/min. Explanation: The centripetal acceleration in the centrifuge, ac = 2 r , has to be equal to 707 times the free-fall acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2 . Therefore 707 g = 2 r , so = ac r

006 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points Find the Moons centripetal acceleration. Correct answer: 0.00352757 m/s2 . Explanation: Since the magnitude of the velocity is constant, the tangential acceleration of the Moon is zero. The centripetal acceleration is ac = v2 r (1251.5 m/s )2 = 4.44 108 m = 0.00352757 m/s2 .

007 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points The radius of the Earth is about 6.37 106 m. a) What is the centripetal acceleration of a point on the equator? Correct answer: 0.0336877 m/s . Explanation:
