World-class female shorttrack speed skaters can cover the 500 m of a race in 45 s. The most challenging elements of the race are the turns, which are very tight, with a radius of approximately 11 m. Estimate the magnitude of the skater’s centripetal acceleration in a turn.
Formula One race cars are capable of remarkable accelerations when speeding up, slowing down, and
turning corners. At one track, cars round a corner that is a segment of a circle of radius 95 m at a speed
of 68 m/s. What is the approximate magnitude of the centripetal acceleration, in units of g?
If the speed of an object in uniform circular motion is tripled and the radial distance remains constant, then the magnitude of the centripital acceleration increases by what factor?

- Figure P3.31 represents the total acceleration of a particle moving clockwise in a circle of radius 2.50 m at a certain instant of time. For that instant, find (a) the radial acceleration of the particle, (b) the speed of the particle, and (c) its tangential acceleration.arrow_forwardAs their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.arrow_forwardIn uniform circular motion, the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity at every instant.
