Duggan's Mock Test question:
Mock Gravity and Circular Motion Test
Hey – here’s an idea. Write these down and actually do them. THIS IS JUST LIKE ONE (It's Page 3) OF THE FOUR THAT IS ON THE TEST! If you can’t do this on your own, you need to find someone in class today that can help you.
3. A 3.78x1025 kg planet has a 5.89x1022 kg moon in orbit 4.9x108 m from its center.
A. What is the force of gravity between the moon and the planet? (6.19x1020 N)
B. What is the orbital speed of the moon? (2270 m/s)
C. What is the acceleration of the moon? (0.0105 m/s/s)
D. What is the force of gravity between an 8 kg bowling ball and the 130 kg person that is bowling it? (Their centers are 1.78 m apart) (2.19x10-8 N)
E. If you spin a bucket of water upside down in a vertical circle with a 1.15 m radius, what is the minimum speed it can have at the top such that the water stays in the bucket? (3.36 m/s)
Murray being really boring and solving these problems at the whiteboard:
Bring a calculator that you know how to use, and write on your cheat sheet how to type in the complex things we have gone over in class.
