Newton mechanics laws CANNOT be applied when:

1) The speed of the interacting bodies are a fraction of the speed of light  Einstein’s special theory of relativity.
2) The interacting bodies are on the scale of the atomic structure  Quantum mechanics

Newton’s first law: If no net force acts on a body, then the body’s velocity cannot change; the body cannot accelerate
 
 F  0  V  const
Newton’s second law: The net force on a body is equal to the product of the body’s mass and its acceleration.

5.59(64). Another Rope with Mass. A block with mass M is attached to the lower end of a vertical, uniform rope
with mass m and length L. A constant upward force F is applied to the top of the rope, causing the rope and
block to accelerate upward. Find the tension in the rope at a distance x from the top end of the rope, where x
can have any value from 0 to L.

3.75(79). A 30.0-kg packing case is initially at rest on the floor of a l500-kg pickup truck. The coefficient of static friction between the case
and the truck floor is 0.30, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. Before each acceleration given below, the truck is traveling due
north at constant speed. Find the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the case (a) when the truck accelerates at 2.20
m/s2 northward and (b) when it accelerates at 3.40 m/s2 southward.

5.109. Merry-Go-Round. One December identical twins Jena and Jackie are playing on a large merry-go-round (a disk
mounted parallel to the ground, on a vertical axle through its center) in their school playground in norther Minnesota. Each
twin has mass 30.0 kg. The icy coating on the merry-go-round surface makes it frictionless. The merry-go-round revolves at
a constant rate as the twins ride on it. Jena, sitting 1.80 m from the center of the merry-go-round, must hold on to one of the
metal posts attached to the merry-go-round with a horizontal force of 60.0 N to keep from sliding off. Jackie is sitting at the
edge, 3.60 m from the center. (a) With what horizontal force must Jackie hold on to keep from falling off? (b) If Jackie falls
off, what will be her horizontal velocity when she becomes air borne?
a) Jena: Let F1 be the horizontal force that keeps her from sliding off.
Let her speed be v1 and let R1 be her distance from the axis.

5.111. On the ride "Spindletop" at the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow vertical
cylinder with radius 2.5 m. The cylinder started to rotate, and when it reached a constant rotation rate of 0.60 rev/s, the floor on which
people were standing dropped about 0.5 m. The people remained pinned against the wall. (a) Draw a force diagram for a person on this
ride, after the floor has dropped. (b) What minimum coefficient of static friction is required if the person on the ride is not to slide
downward to the new position of the floor? (c) Does your answer in part (b) depend on the mass of the passenger? (Note: When the ride
is over, the cylinder is slowly brought to rest. As it slows down, people slide down the walls to the floor.)

(a) The person rotate around the axis of cylinder  the person has centripetal acceleration;
Consider the motion of persion in the inertial frame refer to the person. There are forces: centrifugal,
normal, static friction (person does not move) and weight. We have body-free diagram;

(b) The Newton’s 2nd law equation for the person stick to the shell: m g  n  F fugal  f s  0

5.113. Ulterior Motives. You are driving a classic 1954 Nash Ambassador with a friend who is sitting to your right on the
passenger side of the front seat. The Ambassador has flat bench seats. You would like to be closer to your friend and decide to
use physics to achieve your romantic goal by making a quick turn. (a) Which way (to the left or to the right) should you turn the
car to get your friend to slide closer to you? (b) If the coefficient of static friction between your friend and the car seat is 0.35,
and you keep driving at a constant speed of 20 m/s, what is the maximum radius you could make your turn and still have your
friend slide your way?
(a) The centrifugal force is the cause of the move of the friend.
Friend move to her left  centrifugal direct to the left
 Centripetal direct to the right  You have to take a quick turn right;
(b) To make the friend slide to your side, the centrifugal force must be larger
the static friction force:

Ffugal  m  f s   s n   s mg

 The maximum radius of the turn is 120 m;

5.115. A small bead can slide without friction on a circular hoop that is in a vertical plane and has a radius
of 0.100 m. The hoop rotates at a constant rate of 4.00 rev/s about a vertical diameter (Fig.). (a) Find the
angle b at which the bead is in vertical equilibrium. (Of course, it has a radial acceleration toward the
axis.). (b) Is it possible for the bead to ''ride'' at the same elevation as the center of the hoop? (c) What
will happen if the hoop rotates at 1.00 rev/s?

The bead moves in a circle of radius R = r sinb

The normal force N exerted on the bead by the hoop is radially inward.
