Find the average speed of the stone if the rope is 12 meters long. Centripetal Acceleration (ac) – the rate of change of tangential velocity; standard unit is meters per square second (m/s2); ac = v2/r = vω Sample Problem: 5. A metal ball is attached to a 1-m long string and is whirled to make 3 revolutions per second with the other end as the center. How much acceleration will the metal ball experience?

Title: ROLLER COASTER Objectives: 1) To design and to build a functional roller coaster for a marble. 2) To investigate the conservation of energy of the marble and the centripetal force on the roller coaster at various locations. Introduction: A roller coaster is a complex machine that is a work of art as much as it is a physical structure. Physical principles are applied during the design and construction of roller coasters. Conservation of energy The principle of

redirected. In Newtonian mechanics‚ the term centrifugal force is used to refer to one of two distinct concepts: an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" force) observed in a non-inertial reference frame‚ and a reaction force corresponding to a centripetal force. The term is also sometimes used in Lagrangian mechanics to describe certain terms in the generalized force that depend on the choice of generalized coordinates. The concept of centrifugal force is applied in rotating devices such as centrifuges

not cause a change in velocity as stated in the introduction‚ but rather it is responsible for the change in direction. The centripetal acceleration (ac) is equal to the square of the velocity (v) over the radius of the circular motion. According to Newton ’s Second Law‚ then the centripetal force (Fc) should be the mass of the object (m) times the centripetal acceleration. The equations are pictured above.Important Facts * "Centrifugal" force is a fictitious force. It is a perceived force. There

Every hill in the track must be smaller than the previous one‚ except if the coaster is pulled once again (as it was when going up the first ‘peak’).

The chamber is located 15 m from the center of the circle. At what speed must the chamber move so that the astronaut is subjected to 7.5 times the acceleration due to gravity? 3.

The speed has nothing to do with the excitement. It is more than likely that most people travel faster on their ride along the highway on the way to the amusement park than they would in a roller coaster. Basically the thrill all comes from the acceleration and the feeling of weightlessness that they produce. Roller coasters thrill people because of their ability to accelerate them downward one moment and upwards the next; leftwards one moment and rightwards the next. How does this thrill machine
