46. A 90 kg person riding a Ferris wheel moves in a vertical circular path of radius 12 m at a constant speed of 6 m/s. The person remains seated and upright during the ride and sits on a scale, which is the only object touching the person. What is the person's apparent weight (what the scale reads) at the highest point? a) 810 N

A satellite of mass 16.7 kg in geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 3.58 104 km above the Earths surface remains above the same spot on the Earth. Assume its orbit is circular. Find the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite. Hint: The answer is not 163 N.
In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for the rockets position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t)=(R3/2+3g2Rt)2/3j where R is the radius of the Earth (6.38 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earths surface (9.81 m/s2). a. Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). b. Plot y(t), vy(t), and ay(t). (A spreadsheet program would be helpful.) c. When will the rocket be at y=4R? d. What are vy and ay when y=4R?
A child lying on her back experiences 55.0 N tension in the muscles on both sides of her neck when she raises her head to look past her toes. Later, sliding feet first down a water slide at terminal speed 5.70 m/s and riding high on the outside wall of a horizontal curve of radius 2.40 m, she raises her head again to look forward past her toes. Find the tension in the muscles on both sides of her neck while she is sliding.
A ball of mass m = 0.275 kg swings in a vertical circular path on a string L = 0.850 in long as in Figure P6.31. (a) What are the forces acting on the ball at any point on the path? (b) Draw force diagrams for the ball when it is at the bottom of the circle and when it is at the top. (c) If its speed is 5.20 m/s at the top of the circle, what is the tension in the string there? (d) If the string breaks when its tension exceeds 22.5 N, what is the maximum speed the ball can have at the bottom before that happens? Figure P6.31
The pilot of an airplane executes a loop-the-loop maneuver in a vertical circle. The speed of the airplane is 300 mi/h at the top of the loop and 450 mi/h at the bottom, and the radius of the circle is 1 200 ft. (a) What is the pilots apparent weight at the lowest point if his true weight is 160 lb? (b) What is his apparent weight at the highest point? (c) What If? Describe how the pilot could experience weightlessness if both the radius and the speed can be varied. Note: His apparent weight is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the seat on his body.
The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98 1024 kg, and the mass of the Moon is approximately 7.35 1022 kg. The Moon and the Earth are separated by about 3.84 108 m. a. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth? b. If Serena is on the Moon and her mass is 25 kg, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force on Serena due to the Moon? The radius of the Moon is approximately 1.74 106 m.
A 0.275-kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 0.850 m long as in Figure P7.70. (a) What are the forces acting on the ball at any point along this path? (b) Draw free-body diagrams for the ball when it is at the bottom of the circle and when it is at the top. (c) If its speed is 5.20 m/s at the top of the circle, what is the tension in the string there? (d) If the string breaks when its tension exceeds 22.5 N, what is the maximum speed the object can have at the bottom before the string breaks? Figure P7.70
The following objects are moving in uniform circular motion. Draw a free-body diagram for each object and identify the force responsible for the centripetal acceleration. Object 1.
