Chapter 6: Q6.3-26 PE (page 222)
What is the ideal speed to take a \(100{\rm{ m}}\) radius curve banked at \(20.0^\circ \) angle?
Short Answer
The ideal speed is \(18.9{\rm{ m}}/{\rm{s}}\).

Get started for freeAction at a distance, such as is the case for gravity, was once thought to be illogical and therefore untrue. What is the ultimate determinant of the truth in physics, and why was this action ultimately accepted?
Suppose a mass is moving in a circular path on a frictionless table as shown in figure. In the Earthโs frame of reference, there is no centrifugal force pulling the mass away from the centre of rotation, yet there is a very real force stretching the string attaching the mass to the nail. Using concepts related to centripetal force and Newtonโs third law, explain what force stretches the string, identifying its physical origin.
Find the ratio of the mass of Jupiter to that of Earth based on data inTable 6.2.
(a) What is the period of rotation of Earth in seconds?
(b) What is the angular velocity of Earth?
(c) Given that Earth has a radius ofat its equator, what is the linear velocity at Earthโs surface?
Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about solar masses. A star orbiting on the galaxyโs periphery is about light-years from its center.
(a) What should the orbital period of that star be?
(b) If its period is instead, what is the mass of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of โdark matterโ in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the centers of some galaxies.
