Circular Motion

If the Earth were further from the sun, the force of attraction between them would be

• Unchanged, gravitational force is constant

• Increased, force and distance are directly related

• Decreased, force and distance are directly related

• Decreased, force and distance are inversely related

The centripetal force in this experiment is

• friction between the tube and string

• the velocity of the stopper

• the tension in the string

• the weight of the stopper

If you double the velocity of a car going around a turn, the centripetal acceleration of the car is

• doubled

• halved

• quadrupled

• quartered

If you double the mass of a car going around a curve, the centripetal acceleration is

• doubled

• halved

• quadrupled

• unchanged

Which three statements are true?

• If you increase the Fc you increase centripetal acceleration.

• If you increase the Fc you decrease centripetal acceleration.

• The mass affects Fc but not centripetal acceleration.

• The radius affects Fc but not centripetal acceleration.

• Both Fc and centripetal acceleration are directly proportional to the square of velocity.

What is the centripetal force in this situation?

• weight of car

• normal force on car

• friction between tires and road

• applied force of engine

You swing a bucket of water attached to a string in a circle above your head. What keeps the water in the bucket?

• Friction
