Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.

A truck is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 13 m/s. If the centripetal force on the truck is 3,300 N and

Paladinen [302]

Answer: Option B.

Since here the truck is moving on a circular track, it will experience centripetal force.

F(centripetal) = m × acc
or
$r = \frac{m v^{2}}{F}$

where r is the radius of the track.
m is the mass of truck
v is the speed of the truck.
Given: v = <span>13 m/s
m = </span><span>1,600 kg
</span>F = 3300 Newton

To find = radius of track=?
$r = \frac{m v^{2} }{F}$
$r = \frac{1600*13*13}{3300}$
r = 81.94 m
Therefore, radius of track is 81.94 m

A physics major is working to pay her college tuition by performing in a traveling carnival. She rides a motorcycle inside a hol

il63 [147K]

Answer:

v = 12.1 m/s

Explanation:

When at the top of the circle, there are two forces acting on the combined mass of the rider and the motorcycle.
These are the force of gravity (downward) and the normal force, which is directed from the surface away from it, perpendicular to the surface.
In this case, as the motorcycle runs in the interior of the circle, at the top point this force is completely vertical, and is also downward.
Since the motorcycle is moving in a vertical circle, there must be a force, keeping the object moving around a circle.
This force is the centripetal force, aims towards the center of the circle, and is just the net force aiming in this direction at any point.
At the top point, this force is just the sum of the normal force and the weight of the mass of the rider and the motorcycle combined, as follows (we take the direction towards the center as positive):

$F_{c} = N + m*g (1)$

Now, we know that the centripetal force is related with the tangential speed at this point and the radius of the circle as follows:

$F_{c} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)$

Since the normal force takes any value as needed to make (1) equal to (2), if the speed diminishes, it will be needed less force to keep the equality valid.
In the limit, when the motorcyvle tires barely touch the surface, this normal force becomes zero.
In this condition, from (1) and (2), we can find the minimum possible value of the speed that still keeps the motorcycle touching the surface, as follows:
$v_{min} =\sqrt{r*g} =\sqrt{15.0m*9.8m/s2} = 12.1 m/s (3)$
