Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

In deep space, an astronaut is whipping a heavy tool around in a circle by a taut cable. The cable is 1 meter long (from the astronaut's fist to the tool), and the tool makes a full trip around the circle in half a second as it moves with constant speed. The mass of the tool is 10 kg. What is the tension in the cable?
A 670 N student stands in the middle of a frozen pond having a radius of 6.9 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 2.9 kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 6.9 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s². How long does it take him to reach the south shore? Answer in units of s.
