  • Circular Motion Dynamics
    Problem Solving Circular Motion Dynamics Problem 1: Double Star System Consider a double star system under the influence of gravitational force between the stars. Star 1 has mass m1 and star 2 has mass m2 . Assume that each star undergoes uniform circular motion about the center of mass of the system. If the stars are always a fixed distance s apart, what is the period of the orbit? Solution: Choose radial coordinates for each star with origin at center of mass. Let rˆ1 be a unit vector at Star 1 pointing radially away from the center of mass. Let rˆ2 be a unit vector at Star 2 pointing radially away from the center of mass. The force diagrams on the two stars are shown in the figure below. ! ! From Newton’s Second Law, F1 = m 1a 1 , for Star 1 in the radial direction is m m ˆ 1 2 2 r1 : "G 2 = "m1 r 1 ! . s We can solve this for r1 , m r = G 2 . 1 ! 2s 2 ! !

  • Assignment 2 Centripetal Force & Univ
    LAST NAME______________________________ FIRST NAME_____________________DATE______ CJ - Assignment 2 Centripetal Force & Universal Gravitation, 5.4 Banked Curves Draw the vectors for a free body diagram of a car in an unbanked turn and a banked turn. For this situation assume the cars are turning to the left side of the drawing. Car in Unbanked Turn Car in Banked turn Is this car in Equilibrium? Is this car in Equilibrium? Do the same for the airplane. Airplane in Unbanked Turn Airplane in Banked turn Let’s be careful to fully understand what is going on with this one. We have made an assumption in doing this for the airplane which are not valid. THE BANKED TURN- car can make it a round a turn even if friction is not present (or friction is zero). In order for this to happen the curved road must be “banked”. In a non-banked turn the centripetal force is created by the friction of the road on the tires. What creates the centripetal force in a banked turn? Imagine looking at a banked turn as shown to the right. Draw the forces that act on the car on the diagram of the car. Is the car in Equilibrium? YES , NO The car which has a mass of m is travelling at a velocity (or speed) v around a turn of radius r. How do these variables relate to optimize the banked turn. If the mass of the car is greater is a larger or smaller angle required? LARGER, SMALLER, NO CHANGE NECESSARY If the VELOCITY of the car is greater is a larger or smaller angle required? LARGER, SMALLER, NO CHANGE NECESSARY If the RADUS OF THE TURN is greater is a larger or smaller angle required? LARGER, SMALLER, NO CHANGE NECESSARY To properly show the relationship an equation must be created.

  • April 2018 the Privileged View Steve Beste, President
    Volume 18 – 04 www.FlyingClub1.org April 2018 The Privileged View Steve Beste, President Maker Faire. When something breaks, who you gonna call? If it’s your car or your Cessna, you put it into the shop and get out your checkbook. But if you fly an experimental or Part 103 aircraft, it’s not so simple. That’s why - when newbies ask me about our sport - I find out if they’re tinkerers and do-it-yourselfers. If all they bring to a problem is their checkbook, then they’re better off going with the Cessna. The tinkerers and builders, though, they’re my kind of people. That’s why I went with Dick Martin to the annual Maker Faire at George Mason in mid-March. I thought we’d find a modest event that focused on 3D printing for adult hobbyists, but I was so wrong. They had 140 exhibitors filling three buildings. With several thousand visitors, there were lines outside the buildings by mid-afternoon. Yes, they had 3D printers, but so much more. And so many kids! The focus of the event was clearly on bringing young people into the world of making stuff. The cleverest exhibit was the one shown below. They set up four tables with junk computer gear and told kids to just take things apart. Don’t worry about putting anything back together again. It’s all junk! Rip it apart! See how it’s made! Do it! It looked like a destruction derby, with laptops and printers and even a sewing machine being reduced to screws and plates.

Slow flight at gross weight, load factors, and existing density altitude. approach speeds should include slowing the airplane The minimum speed below which further controlled smoothly and promptly from cruising to approach flight is impossible is called the stalling speed. An speeds without changes in altitude or heading, and important feature of pilot training is the development determining and using appropriate power and trim of the ability to estimate the margin of safety above the settings. Slow flight at approach speed should also stalling speed. Also, the ability to determine the include configuration changes, such as landing gear characteristic responses of any airplane at different and flaps, while maintaining heading and altitude. airspeeds is of great importance to the pilot.

    Chapter 5 | Newton's Laws of Motion 207 5 | NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION Figure 5.1 The Golden Gate Bridge, one of the greatest works of modern engineering, was the longest suspension bridge in the world in the year it opened, 1937. It is still among the 10 longest suspension bridges as of this writing. In designing and building a bridge, what physics must we consider? What forces act on the bridge? What forces keep the bridge from falling? How do the towers, cables, and ground interact to maintain stability? Chapter Outline 5.1 Forces 5.2 Newton's First Law 5.3 Newton's Second Law 5.4 Mass and Weight 5.5 Newton’s Third Law 5.6 Common Forces 5.7 Drawing Free-Body Diagrams Introduction When you drive across a bridge, you expect it to remain stable. You also expect to speed up or slow your car in response to traffic changes. In both cases, you deal with forces. The forces on the bridge are in equilibrium, so it stays in place. In contrast, the force produced by your car engine causes a change in motion. Isaac Newton discovered the laws of motion that describe these situations. Forces affect every moment of your life. Your body is held to Earth by force and held together by the forces of charged particles. When you open a door, walk down a street, lift your fork, or touch a baby’s face, you are applying forces. Zooming in deeper, your body’s atoms are held together by electrical forces, and the core of the atom, called the nucleus, is held together by the strongest force we know—strong nuclear force.

Further Mechanics and Thermal Physics 6.1 Circular Motion 6.2 Simple Harmonic Motion 6.3 Thermal Physics 7. Fields and their Consequences 8. Nuclear Physics 12. Turning Points in Physics Objects moving in a curved path is just a special case of motion along curved path. The main reasons that we focus on circular motion is that the maths works out nicely and that there are countless examples of objects moving in paths which, if not exactly circular, can be approximated as such. The planets orbiting the Sun and the electron orbiting the atom are two examples. There are plenty of examples of circular motion in our everyday life: a CD spinning in a CD player, food in a microwave, a spinning football, a loop-the-loop at the fairground, a car going around a roundabout – these are all examples of circular motion. There are three main parts to this booklet. In the first five sections, we develop the necessary tools to understand circular motion. Sections 6 to 8 then look at applying these tools to three different types of situation. There is only a small amount of new Physics here, but it can be applied to a vast array of different circumstances. My aim is that it will be easier to see the links between all the different types of problems if we break it down like this. Section 10 onwards develops our ideas of circular motion beyond the A-Level course and is intended for anyone looking for more to quench thirst for more circular motion.

  • Single-Engine Failure After Takeoff: the Anatomy of a Turnback Maneuver Les Glatt, Phd., ATP, CFI-AI July 25, 2020
    Single-Engine Failure after Takeoff: The Anatomy of a Turnback Maneuver Les Glatt, PhD., ATP, CFI-AI July 25, 2020 Summary In the latest Advisory Circular AC-83J, Appendix A.11.4 provides guidance to all CFI’s relating to the subject: “Return to Field/Single-Engine Failure on Takeoff”, i.e., (1) “Flight instructors should demonstrate and teach trainees when and how to make a safe 180-degree turnback to the field after an engine failure”. (2) “Flight instructors should also teach the typical altitude loss for the given make and model flown during a 180-degree turn, while also teaching the pilot how to make a safe, coordinated turn with a sufficient bank. These elements should give the pilot the ability to determine quickly whether a turnback will have a successful outcome. During the before-takeoff check, the expected loss of altitude in a turnback, plus a sufficient safety factor, should be briefed and related to the altitude at which this maneuver can be conducted safely. In addition, the effect of existing winds on the preferred direction and the viability of a turnback should be considered as part of the briefing”. The question that is most asked by Pilots about the turnback maneuver is “How high above the runway do I need to be before attempting a turnback maneuver?” In a recent NAFI webinar Capt Brian Schiff came up with a Rule-of-Thumb (ROT) regarding this altitude. Schiff’s ROT is based on a 13-step flight experiment that the Pilot was required to perform. It required the Pilot to determine the altitude loss during a 45-degree banked gliding turn, at a speed no faster than best glide speed (or slightly lower), and after turning 360 degrees, the aircraft is rolled to a wings level attitude, and then flaring the aircraft to the point where the vertical speed went to zero.

We call an apparent force such as this one a fictitious force because it is not a real force and is due only to observa- tions made in an accelerated reference frame. A fictitious force appears to act on an object in the same way as a real force. Real forces are always interactions between two objects, however, and you cannot identify a second object for a fictitious force. (What second object is interacting with the puck to cause it to accelerate?) In gen- eral, simple fictitious forces appear to act in the direction opposite that of the acceler- ation of the noninertial frame. For example, the train accelerates forward and there appears to be a fictitious force causing the puck to slide toward the back of the train. a The train example describes a fictitious force due to a change in theWe train’s know that there is a force (the centripetal force) towards the speed. Another fictitious force is due to the change in the direction of thecenter veloc of the- circle. ity vector. To understand the motion of a system that is noninertial because of a From the passenger’s frame of change in direction, consider a car traveling along a highway at a high speed and reference, a force appears to push her toward the right door, but it is approaching a curved exit ramp on the left as shown in Figure 6.10a.
