A particle in uniform circular motion has a radius of \( 10 \, \text{m} \) and completes 4 revolutions in \( 8 \, \text{s} \). What is its centripetal acceleration?

Frequency \( f = \frac{n}{t} = \frac{4}{8} = 0.5 \, \text{Hz} \).

Angular speed \( \omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \times 0.5 = \pi \, \text{rad/s} \).

Centripetal acceleration \( a_c = \omega^2 R = (\pi)^2 \times 10 \approx 9.87 \times 10 \approx 98.7 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

For an object in uniform circular motion, what happens if the centripetal force suddenly disappears?

If the centripetal force disappears, the object will move tangentially to the circle in a straight line due to inertia (Newton’s first law). Without the force, there is no acceleration to keep it in the circular path.

It spirals outward
It moves in a straight line tangentially
It stops immediately
It moves towards the center

A ball is projected with a speed of \( 28 \, \text{m/s} \) at an angle of \( 45^\circ \) to the horizontal. What is the maximum height attained? (Take \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Maximum height \( h_m = \frac{(v_0 \sin \theta_0)^2}{2g} \).

Given: \( v_0 = 28 \, \text{m/s}, \theta_0 = 45^\circ, \sin 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

\( v_0 \sin \theta_0 = 28 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 14\sqrt{2} \approx 19.8 \, \text{m/s} \).

\( h_m = \frac{(19.8)^2}{2 \times 9.8} = \frac{392.04}{19.6} \approx 20 \, \text{m} \).

A stone is thrown horizontally at \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) from a height of \( 45 \, \text{m} \). What is its time of flight? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Vertical motion: \( y = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \), where \( y = -45 \, \text{m} \).

\( -45 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times t^2 \Rightarrow -45 = 5 t^2 \Rightarrow t^2 = 9 \Rightarrow t = 3 \, \text{s} \).

A boat sails east at \( 8 \, \text{m/s} \) while a current flows north at \( 6 \, \text{m/s} \). What is the magnitude of the boat’s velocity relative to the ground?

Velocity components: \( v_x = 8 \, \text{m/s}, v_y = 6 \, \text{m/s} \).

Magnitude \( v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \).

A projectile is launched at \( 50 \, \text{m/s} \) at \( 53^\circ \). What is its speed at maximum height? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2, \cos 53^\circ = 0.6 \))

At maximum height, speed = \( v_x = v_0 \cos \theta_0 \).

Given: \( v_0 = 50 \, \text{m/s}, \cos 53^\circ = 0.6 \).

\( v_x = 50 \times 0.6 = 30 \, \text{m/s} \).

A projectile is launched at \( 22 \, \text{m/s} \) at \( 30^\circ \). What is its horizontal velocity component?

Horizontal velocity \( v_x = v_0 \cos \theta_0 \).

Given: \( v_0 = 22 \, \text{m/s}, \cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866 \).

\( v_x = 22 \times 0.866 \approx 19.05 \, \text{m/s} \).

A projectile is launched with a speed of 30 m/s at 30°. What is its horizontal velocity component?

Horizontal velocity v_x = v₀ cos θ₀.

Given: v₀ = 30 m/s, cos 30° = √3/2.

v_x = 30 × (√3/2) = 15 √3 ≈ 25.98 m/s.

A projectile is launched at \( 16 \, \text{m/s} \) at \( 60^\circ \). What is its time to reach maximum height? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2, \sin 60^\circ = 0.866 \))

Time to maximum height \( t_m = \frac{v_0 \sin \theta_0}{g} \).

Given: \( v_0 = 16 \, \text{m/s}, \sin 60^\circ = 0.866, g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

\( t_m = \frac{16 \times 0.866}{10} \approx \frac{13.856}{10} \approx 1.39 \, \text{s} \).

In uniform circular motion, what is true about the work done by the centripetal force?

The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the velocity (tangential) in uniform circular motion. Since work is the dot product of force and displacement, and the displacement is along the velocity, the work done is zero (force and displacement are perpendicular).

It increases the speed
It decreases the energy
It is zero
It is proportional to radius
