The earth $\left(\mathrm{mass}=6.0\times {10}^{24}\mathrm{kg}\right)$ rotates around the Sun in an orbit that is approximately circular, with a radius of $1.5\times {10}^{11} \mathrm{m}$.

b. Determine the centripetal acceleration experienced by the earth.

The earth $\left(\mathrm{mass}=6.0\times {10}^{24}\mathrm{kg}\right)$ rotates around the Sun in an orbit that is approximately circular, with a radius of $1.5\times {10}^{11} \mathrm{m}$.

c. Deduce the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the sun by the earth.

A plane travelling at a speed $180\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$ along a horizontal circle makes an angle of $\theta =35°$ to the horizontal. The lift force $L$ is acting in the direction shown.

Calculate the radius of the circle.  

A cylinder of radius $5.0 \mathrm{m}$ rotates above its vertical axis. A girl stands inside the cylinder with her back touching the side of the cylinder. The floor is suddenly lowered but the girl stays 'glued' to the wall. The coefficient of friction between the girl and the wall is $0.60$. Draw a free body diagram of the force on the girl.

b. Determine the minimum number of revolutions per minute for which the girl does not slip down the wall.

A loop-the-loop machine has a radius of $18\mathrm{m}$.

a. Calculate the minimum speed with which a cart must enter the loop so that it does not fall off at the highest point.

A loop-the-loop machine has a radius of $18\mathrm{m}$.

b. Predict the speed at the top in this case.

The diagram shows a horizontal disc with a hole through its centre. A string passes through the hole and connects a mass $m$ on top of the disc to a bigger mass $M$ that hangs below the disc. Initially, the smaller mass is rotating on the disc in a circle of radius $r$. Determine the speed of $m$  be such that the big mass stands still.

The ball shown in the diagram is attached to a rotating pole with two strings. The ball has a mass of $0.250\mathrm{kg}$ and rotates in a horizontal circle at a speed of $8.0 \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$.

Determine the tension in each string.
