Uniform Circular Motion课件.ppt

Preflights Consider the following situation: You are driving a car with constant speed around a horizontal circular track. On a piece of paper, draw a Free Body Diagram (FBD) for the car. The net force on the car is  f W FN 16 A. Zero B. Pointing radially inward C. Pointing radially outward SF = ma = mv2/R a=v2/R R correct 22% 67%11% “Ever spin stuff in a bowl? It gravitates outward.” “Centripetal force is always pointing inward “This is why many racetracks have banked roadways” 精品文档 Dip ACT Suppose you are driving through a valley whose bottom has a circular shape. If your mass is m, what is the magnitude of the normal force FN exerted on you by the car seat as you drive past the bottom of the hill A. FN mg B. FN = mg C. FN mg v mg FN R SF = ma FN - mg = mv2/R FN = mg + mv2/R a=v2/R correct 20 精品文档 While driving on a country road at a constant speed of 17.0 m/s, you encounter a dip in the road. The dip can be approximated by a circular arc with a radius of 65.0 m. What is the normal force exerted by the car seat on an 80.0 kg passenger at the bottom of the dip? Dip Example 精品文档 Bonnie sits on the outer rim of a merry-go-round with radius 3 meters, and Klyde sits midway between the center and the rim. The merry-go-round makes one complete revolution every two seconds. Klyde’s speed is: (a) the same as Bonnie’s (b) twice Bonnie’s (c) half Bonnie’s Klyde Bonnie Bonnie travels 2 p R in 2 seconds vB = 2 p R / 2 = 9.42 m/s Klyde travels 2 p (R/2) in 2 seconds vK = 2 p (R/2) / 2 = 4.71 m/s Merry-Go-Round ACT 33 精品文档 精品文档 精品文档 Use this to motivate circular motion involves acceleration.
