A push or pull on an object.
What is Force?
Using Newton's Second Law, how can centripetal force be calculated?
What is F = ma, a=F/m
The change in speed or direction of an object.
What is Acceleration?
The direction of the centripetal force
Towards the center of the circle
Forces come in pairs, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
What is Newton's 3rd law?
What is the only acceleration experienced by a projectile after it is in the air?
Acceleration due to gravity
The tallest Ferris wheel in the world is located in Singapore. Standing 42 stories high and holding as many as 780 passengers, the Ferris wheel has a diameter of 150 meters and takes approximately 30 minutes to make a full circle. Determine the speed of riders on the Singapore Flyer.
What is 0.26 m/s
A sailboat is traveling north at 10 m/s, relative to the water. The water is flowing north at 5 m/s. What is the velocity of the boat relative to ground?
What is 15 m/s
On Earth, 9.80 m/s^2.
What is acceleration due to gravity?
Dominic is the star discus thrower on South's varsity track and field team. In last year's regional competition, Dominic whirled the 1.6 kg discus in a circle with a radius of 1.1 m, ultimately reaching a speed of 52 m/s before launch. Determine the net force acting upon the discus in the moments before launch.
What is 3.9 x 10^3 N
