Onboard your ship in synchronous orbit, you tie 1 m of string to the ceiling and attach a mass to the other end. If you displace the pendulum from vertical a small amount, describe and explain what you observe if

i. your ship’s onboard gravity simulator is replicating the same gravity the ship would experience at its current distance if it weren’t orbiting, and

ii. your ship’s onboard gravity simulator is broken.

1. Tie one end of the string [~1.5 m] to one of the small plastic bags into which you have put 6 US pennies. We will call the bag/pennies combination the rotating object, RO. [A suggested method for making the RO is given at the end of these inst ructions.] Pass the other end of the string through one end of the plastic t ube. The end of the tube into which you fed this string is now referred to...

A communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit that is 3.61×107 m directly above the equator. The satellite is located midway between Quito, Equador, and Belem, Brazil, two cities almost on the equator that are separated by a distance of 3.87×106 m. Calculate the time it takes for a telephone call to go by way of satellite between these cities. Ignore the curvature of the earth.

A 1.30-m string of weight 0.0121N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the very small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equationy(x,t)=(8.50mm)cos(172rad?m?1x?2730rad?s?1t)Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W. How much time does it take a...

1. A ball hanging from the ceiling by a string swings in a circle. If the radius of the circle it traces is 2 meters and its distance from the ceiling is 5 meters, what is the velocity of the ball? 2. Assuming an iced over road (no friction), if a car is going 25 m/s around a curve in the road of radius 75 meters, what is the perfect angle to bank the road so that the car stays...

(1)Sphere A is attached to the ceiling of an elevator by a string. A second sphere is attached to the first one by a second string. Both strings are of negligible mass. Here m1 = m2 = m = 3.57 kg. (a) The elevator starts from rest and accelerates downward witha= 1.35 m/s2. What are the tensions in the two strings in newtons? (b) If the elevator moves upward instead with the same acceleration what will be the tension in...

1. A powered model airplane of mass 1.77 kg is tied to a ceiling with string and allowed to fly at speed 0.44 m/s in a circular path of radius 0.44 m while suspended by the string which makes a constant angle with respect to the vertical. (a) What is the angle, in degrees, that the string takes such that the above is true? (b) What is the tension in the string, in N?

1. The speed of the wave on your Cello string is: 90 m/s The length of your string is: 690 mm Keep in mind that the wavelength (λ), the frequency (f) and the wave speed (v) are related according to v = f λ. (a) Draw the shapes of the motion of the string for vibration that your string will produce when plucked or bowed (up to the 6th Harmonic). (Of course, a plucked or bowed string will vibrate in...

Two stars of mass M?1 and M?2<M?1 are orbiting eachother in a circular orbit. The heavy star experiences a supernova explosion, losing most of its mass in a spherically symmetric outflow (i.e. without losing angular momentum) and leaving behind a small neutron star of mass M??NS. Show that if the mass lost is larger then half of the total mass of the system, the binary is disrupted.

Problem 1. A particle is orbiting a star of mass M in a circular orbit. (a, 2 POINTS) Find the equation that provides the orbital speed at a given distance r from the center of the star. (b, 1 POINT) From the result at (a), calculate at what distance rS the particle should be from the center of the star for its orbital speed to be equal to the speed of light, c (in this case, the particle would be...
