Exam 5: Using Newtons Laws: Friction, Circular Motion, Drag Forces

A car of mass m goes around a banked curve of radius r with speed v. If the road is frictionless due to ice, the car can still negotiate the curve if the horizontal component of the normal force on the car from the road is equal in magnitude to

For uniform circular motion, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other at every point in the path.

A ball is tied to the end of a cable of negligible mass. The ball is spun in a circle with a radius 2.00 m making 0.700 revolutions per second. What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball?

A packing crate slides down an inclined ramp at constant velocity. Thus we can deduce that

The magnitude of the drag force on a 20.0-kg object is proportional to its speed. The object has a terminal velocity 80 m/s. What is the magnitude of the drag force on the object when it is falling with a speed 30 m/s?

A 55.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300. What horizontal force must be applied to the box for it to start sliding along the surface?

FIGURE 5-5 -A 4.00-kg block rests on a 30.0 degree incline as shown in Fig. 5-5. If the coefficient of static friction between the block and the incline is 0.700, with what magnitude force must a horizontal force act on the block to start it moving up the incline?

The force of friction between two surfaces is independent of the area of contact between the surfaces.

Is it possible for an object moving around a circular path to have both centripetal and tangential acceleration?

A 1.20-kg ball is hanging on the end of a rope. The rope makes an angle 25.0° from the vertical when a 15.0 m/s horizontal wind blows. If the wind's force on the rope is negligible, what is the drag force on the ball?
