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 \(18.9{\rm{ m}}/{\rm{s}}\).

When a toilet is flushed or a sink is drained, the water (and other material) begins to rotate about the drain on the way down. Assuming no initial rotation and a flow initially directly straight toward the drain, explain what causes the rotation and which direction it has in the northern hemisphere. (Note that this is a small effect and in most toilets the rotation is caused by directional water jets.) Would the direction of rotation reverse if water were forced up the drain?
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.
(a) Based on Keplerโs laws and information on the orbital characteristics of the Moon, calculate the orbital radius for an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h.
(b) What is unreasonable about this result?
(c) What is unreasonable or inconsistent about the premise of a 1.00 h orbit?
What is the direction of the force exerted by the car on the passenger as the car goes over the top of the amusement ride under the following circumstances: (a) the car goes over the top at such a speed that the gravitational force is the only force acting? (b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed? (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?
