The radius of the earth's orbit around the sun (assumed to be circular) is 1.50 X 108 km, and the earth travels around this orbit in 365 days. (a) What is the magnitude of the orbital velocity of the earth, in m/s? (b) What is the radial acceleration of t...

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor’s head, where should the profes...

You are required to produce two generalizations: (a) the average weight of a hen’s egg and (b) the average weight of a classroom chalk. You want your conclusion to be as systematic as possible with a limited time and with limited materials. How would the...

A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest h = 0.500 m from the surface of a table, at the top of a theta = 30.0° incline. The frictionless incline is fixed on a table of height H = 2.00 m. (a) Determine the acceleration of the block as it slides d...

Review problem. A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at h = 0.500 m above the surface of a table, at the top of a theta = 30.0 incline as shown in Figure 3. The frictionless incline is fixed on a table of height H = 2.00 m. (a) Determine the...

A discus thrower accelerates a discus from rest to a speed of 25m/s by whirling it at 1.25 rev. The discus moves in circle of radius 1m. Find a. The final angular speed, b. The constant angular acceleration, c. The time interval from rest to the speed 25m...
