A car travels on a road that, if viewed from the side, has a semicircular bump. When at the top of the bump, the occupants of the car feel as though they weigh half their normal weight. What is the speed of the car if the radius of the semicircle is 120 m?
A. 107 m/s B. 53.7 m/s C. 34.3 m/s D. 24.3 m/s
A wheel (radius = 12 cm) is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axle that is perpendicular to the wheel and passes through the center of mass of the wheel. A light cord wrapped around the wheel supports a 0.40-kg object. If released from rest with the string taut, the object is observed to fall with a downward acceleration of 3.0 m/s2. What is the rotational inertia (of the wheel) about the given axle?
A. 0.023 kg?m2 B. 0.013 kg?m2 C. 0.020 kg?m2 D. 0.016 kg?m2 E. 0.035 kg?m2
