Physics 1710 Chapter 6—Circular Motion Answer: a = ∆v/∆t a = (112 m/s)/(2.5 sec) = 44.8 m/s2 Thrust = force F = ma = (1800. kg)(44.8 m/s 2 ) ~ 81 kN
Physics 1710 Chapter 6—Circular Motion 1′ Lecture: The net force on a body executing circular motion is equal to the mass times the centripetal acceleration of the body. Fcentripetal = m acentripetal acentripetal = v 2/ R [toward the center]; a = -ω2 r In non-inertial frames of reference one may sense fictitious forces. At terminal velocity the velocity-dependent resistive forces balance the accelerating forces so that no further acceleration occurs.
Physics 1710 Chapter 6—Circular Motion Centripetal Acceleration: vx vy x = r cos θ y = r sin θ vx = (dr/dt) cos θ- r sin θ(d θ/dt) vy = (dr/dt) sin θ+r cos θ(d θ/dt) Let (dr/dt) = 0 vx = - r ω sin θ vy = +r ω cos θ ax = dvx /dt= d(- r ω sin θ)/dt = r ω2cos θ- r ω sin θ(d ω/dt) ay = dvy /dt= d(r ω cos θ)/dt = -r ω2sin θ+ r ω cos θ(d ω/dt) a = - ω2 r + r (d vtangential /dt) θ

Physics 1710 Chapter 6—Circular Motion Summary The net force on a body executing circular motion is equal to the mass times the centripetal acceleration of the body. acentripedal = v 2/ R [toward the center] The “centrifugal” force is a fictitious force due to a non-inertial frame of reference.
