hammer’s average speed if it makes 4 revolutions in 5 seconds?

2. Ralph has been a bad dog and has been chained up. To amuse himself, he runs in circles. Ralph’s
chain is 7.0m long and attached to a small post in the middle of the garden. It takes an average of
9s to complete one lap.
(a) What is Ralph’s average speed? (b) What is Ralph’s average velocity after three laps? (c) What
is Ralph’s instantaneous velocity at point A?

3. What is the centripetal acceleration of a hammer that is swung in a 1.7m radius circle if it makes
0.8 revolutions in a second?
4. A particle is moving around in a circle of radius 1.5 m with a constant speed of 2 ms -1. Calculate its
(a) centripetal acceleration
(b) angular velocity

5. A conical pendulum is made of a 10g mass suspended from a string of length 20cm. The mass
makes a flat horizontal circle of radius 5 cm as it moves. Determine:

6. A 15 kg weight is attached to a rope and spun in uniform circular motion with a 0.5 m radius as
shown. If the rope makes an angle of 30º with the horizontal during circular motion, calculate the
angular velocity of the weight.
7. A 1200kg car approaches a tight corner on a wet day. If the corner has a radius of curvature of
10m and the coefficient of friction for the tyres on a wet road is 0.4, what is the maximum speed
at which the car can safely turn the corner?

8. A curve of radius 70 m is banked at a 15° angle. At what speed can a car take this curve without
assistance from friction?

9. A car of mass 1280kg travels around a bend with a radius of 12.0m. The total sideways friction on
the wheels is 16400N. Calculate the maximum constant speed at which the car can be driven
around the bend without skidding off the road if
(a) the road is not banked
(b) the road is banked at an angle of 10°
10. A skate boarder (mass 60 kg) enters the half-pipe at point A, as shown (Assume the frictional
forces are negligible.)

12. Calculate the magnitude of torque produced by opening a jar of pickles if the lid on the jar has a
radius of 0.038 m and a 150 N force is applied to the lid at the angle shown.

13. 1.2m wide gate in the school fence will only open if there is a torque of 100Nm acting on it. In
which of the following cases will the force applied to the gate result in it opening?

14. Consider the following fulcrum system. Calculate the total torque and determine which direction
the see-saw rotates.

Clockwise 𝜏 = 0.5𝑚 × 100𝑁𝑠𝑖𝑛60° = 43.3 Nm


Anti-clockwise 𝜏 = 0.6𝑚 × 100𝑁𝑠𝑖𝑛45° + 1𝑚 × 150𝑁 = 234.9 𝑁𝑚
Thus, Anti-clockwise 𝜏 > Clockwise 𝜏. Therefore, it will rotate anticlockwise
