course Phy201 This query had some questions about a circular motion problem that we've not yet done. cȥ{vxassignment #024
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:57:45 Why was it necessary to let the string go slack at the top of the circle in order to get the desired results?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Not sure what this refers to??????????????? We did no such experiment that I know of. Last experiment was CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM with balls and ramps.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:58:25 ** If the string goes slack just at the instant the weight reaches the 'top' of its circular path then we are assured that the centripetal acceleration is equal to the acceleration of gravity. If there is tension in the string then the weight is being pulled downward and therefore toward the center by a force that exceeds its weight. If the string goes slack before the weight reaches the top of its arc then the path isn't circular and our results won't apply to an object moving in a circular arc. **

RESPONSE --> We've done no circular motion experiments

......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:58:34 Why do you expect that, if the string is released exactly at the top of the circle, the initial velocity of the washer will be horizontal?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ???????????
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:58:54 ** The direction of an object moving in a circular arc is perpendicular to a radial line (i.e., a line from the center to a point on the circle). When the object is at the 'top' of its arc it is directly above the center so the radial line is vertical. Its velocity, being perpendicular to this vertical, must be entirely in the horizontal direction. **

RESPONSE --> ?????????????

13:59:05 What is the centripetal acceleration of the washer at the instant of release, assuming that it is released at the top of its arc and that it goes slack exactly at this point, and what was the source of this force?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ???????????/
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:59:15 ** Under these conditions, with the string slack and not exerting any force on the object, the centripetal acceleration will be equal to the acceleration of gravity. **

14:07:18 Query principles of physics and general college physics 7.02. Delivery truck 18 blocks north, 10 blocks east, 16 blocks south. What is the final displacement from the origin?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> This path yields a final destination that is 2 blocks north of origin and 10 blocks east of origin and these are two sides of a triangle with the hyp then equaling the sq rt of 104 or 10.2 blocks displacement from origin.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:08:32 The final position of the truck is 2 blocks south and 10 blocks east. This is equivalent to a displacement of +10 blocks in the x direction and -2 blocks in the y direction. The distance is therefore sqrt( (10 blocks)^2 + (-2 blocks)^2 ) = sqrt( 100 blocks^2 + 4 blocks^2) = sqrt(104 blocks^2) = sqrt(104) * sqrt(blocks^2) = 10.2 blocks. The direction makes and angle of theta = arcTan(-2 blocks / (10 blocks) ) = arcTan(-.2) = -12 degrees with the positive x axis, as measured counterclockwise from that axis. This puts the displacement at an angle of 12 degrees in the clockwise direction from that axis, or 12 degrees south of east.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Think it should have been 2 blocks north (18-16) not south, but that doesn't change the magnitude of the displacement.

14:11:59 Query principles of physics and general college physics 7.18: Diver leaves cliff traveling in the horizontal direction at 1.8 m/s, hits the water 3.0 sec later. How high is the cliff and how far from the base does he land?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> assuming his v0y = 0 the dy= 1/2 g t^2 so 4.9*9 = 44m height. In 3 sec the diver travels 3 * 1.8m/s = 5.4 m from base of cliff.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:12:30 The diver's initial vertical velocity is zero, since the initial velocity is horizontal. Vertical velocity is characterized by the acceleration of gravity at 9.8 m/s^2 in the downward direction. We will choose downward as the positive direction, so the vertical motion has v0 = 0, constant acceleration 9.8 m/s^2 and time interval `dt = 3.0 seconds. The third equation of uniformly accelerated motion tells us that the vertical displacement is therefore vertical motion: `ds = v0 `dt + .5 a `dt^2 = 0 * 3.0 sec + .5 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (3.0 sec)^2 = 0 + 44 m = 44 m. The cliff is therefore 44 m high. The horizontal motion is characterized 0 net force in this direction, resulting in horizontal acceleration zero. This results in uniform horizontal velocity so in the horizontal direction v0 = vf = vAve. Since v0 = 1.8 m/s, vAve = 1.8 m/s and we have horizontal motion: `ds = vAve * `dt = 1.8 m/s * 3.0 s = 5.4 meters.

14:18:53 Gen phy 3.13 A 44 N at 28 deg, B 26.5 N at 56 deg, C 31.0 N at 270 deg. Give your solution to the problem.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> These are solved by adding or subtracting the X and Y axis components of the various vectors and then using the resultant sums of each to get the X and Y components and then use these to calculate the magnitude and angle of each. a=329deg,63N b=72deg,78N c=252deg,78N

14:21:15 ** The solution given here is for a previous edition, in which the forces are Force A of 66 at 28 deg Force B of B 40 at 56 deg Force C of 46.8 at 270 deg These forces are very close to 2/3 as great as the forces given in the current edition, and all correct results will therefore be very close to 2/3 as great as those given here. Calculations to the nearest whole number: A has x and y components Ax = 66 cos(28 deg) = 58 and Ay = 66 sin(28 deg) = 31 Bhas x and y components Bx = 40 cos(124 deg) = -22 and By = 40 sin(124 deg) = 33 C has x and y components Cx = 46.8 cos(270 deg) = 0 and Cy = 46.8 sin(270 deg) = -47 A - B + C therefore has components Rx = Ax-Bx+Cx = 58 - (-22) + 0 = 80 and Ry = Ay - By + Cy = 31-33-47=-49, which places it is the fourth quadrant and gives it magnitude `sqrt(Rx^2 + Ry^2) = `sqrt(80^2 + (-49)^2) = 94 at angle tan^-1(Ry / Rx) = tan^-1(-49/53) = -32 deg or 360 deg - 32 deg = 328 deg. Thus A - B + C has magnitude 93 at angle 328 deg. B-2A has components Rx = Bx - 2 Ax = -22 - 2 ( 58 ) = -139 and Ry = By - 2 Ay = 33 - 2(31) = -29, placing the resultant in the third quadrant and giving it magnitude `sqrt( (-139)^2 + (-29)^2 ) = 142 at angle tan^-1(Ry / Rx) or tan^-1(Ry / Rx) + 180 deg. Since x < 0 this gives us angle tan^-1(-29 / -139) + 180 deg = 11 deg + 180 deg = 191 deg. Thus B - 2 A has magnitude 142 at angle 191 deg. Note that the 180 deg is added because the angle is in the third quadrant and the inverse tangent gives angles only in the first or fourth quandrant ( when the x coordinate is negative we'll be in the second or third quadrant and must add 180 deg). **
