| 1 | [katex]F_{\text{static max}} = \mu_s \times m \times g[/katex] | Maximum static friction force (F_static max) is the product of the coefficient of static friction (μs), mass of the coin (m), and acceleration due to gravity (g). |
| 2 | [katex]m = 5.0 , \text{g} = 0.005 , \text{kg}[/katex] | Convert the mass of the coin from grams to kilograms. |
| 3 | [katex]F_{\text{static max}} = 0.80 \times 0.005 \times 9.81[/katex] | Substitute the values of μs, m, and g (9.81 m/s²) into the static friction formula. |
| 4 | [katex]\omega = \frac{60 \times 2 \pi}{60}[/katex] | Convert the angular velocity from rpm to radians per second (rad/s). |
| 5 | [katex]F_{\text{centripetal}} = m \times r \times \omega^2[/katex] | Centripetal force (F_centripetal) is calculated using the mass of the coin, radius (r), and square of the angular velocity (ω). |
| 6 | [katex]r = 15 , \text{cm} = 0.15 , \text{m}[/katex] | Convert the radius from centimeters to meters. |
| 7 | [katex]F_{\text{centripetal}} = 0.005 \times 0.15 \times (\frac{60 \times 2 \pi}{60})^2[/katex] | Substitute the values of m, r, and ω into the centripetal force formula. |
| 8 | [katex]F_{\text{centripetal}} , \text{vs} , F_{\text{static max}}[/katex] | Compare the centripetal force with the maximum static friction force to determine if the coin slides off. |
The coin does not slide off the turntable, as the required centripetal force to keep the coin on the turntable is less than the maximum static friction force. The maximum static friction force is approximately 0.03924 N, while the required centripetal force is .0296 N.
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A block starts at rest on a frictionless inclined track which then turns into a circular loop of radius R and is vertical. In terms of R and constants, find the minimum height h above the bottom of the loop the block must start from so it makes it around the loop.
A car is moving up the side of a circular roller coaster loop of radius 12 m. The angular velocity is [katex] 1.8 \, \text{rad/s} [/katex] and angular acceleration is [katex] -0.82 \, \text{rad/s}^2 [/katex]. The car is at the same elevation as the center of the loop. Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration.
A ball of mass m is fastened to a string. The ball swings at constant speed in a vertical circle of radius R with the other end of the string held fixed. Neglecting air resistance, what is the difference between the string’s tension at the bottom of the circle and at the top of the circle?
A [katex] 2.2 \times 10^{21} \, \text{kg}[/katex] moon orbits a distant planet in a circular orbit of radius [katex] 1.5 \times 10^8 \, \text{m}[/katex]. It experiences a [katex] 1.1 \times 10^{19} \, \text{N}[/katex] gravitational pull from the planet. What is the moon’s orbital period in earth days?
Two identical object rests on a platform rotating at constant speed. Object A is at distance of half the platform’s radius from the center. Object B lays at edge of the platform. Assuming the platform continues rotating at the same speed, how does the centripetal force of the two objects compare?
No.

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
