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 freeFind the mass of Jupiter based on data for the orbit of one of its moons, and compare your result with its actual mass.
Calculate the mass of the Sun based on data for Earthโs orbit and compare the value obtained with the Sunโs actual mass.
A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earthโs rotation). Calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for the moon in Table 6.2.
If centripetal force is directed toward the centre, why do you feel that you are โthrownโ away from the centre as a car goes around a curve? Explain.
A mother pushes her child on a swing so that his speed is at the lowest point of this path. The swing is suspended 2.00 mabove the childโs center of mass.
(a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the child at the low point?
(b) What is the magnitude of the force the child exerts on the seat if his mass is 18.0 kg?
(c) What is unreasonable about these results?
(d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent?
