Two lady beetles are standing on a CD, one 3 cm, half way out
from the centre, the other 6 cm out, on the outside edge. The CD
turns ¼ of a revolution in 2 seconds. (i) Calculate the tangential
speed v of the outside lady beetle. (ii) Calculate the angular
velocity ω of the outside lady beetle. (iii) How would the
tangential speed and angular velocity of the half way out lady
beetle compare with these values
(b) A cannon fires a ball at an elevation of 300 at an initial
velocity of v0 = 300 m/s. (i) Calculate the initial horizontal and
vertical components of this initial velocity. (ii) Use the vertical
component to calculate how long the ball will be in the air.
(Ignore the height of the cannon above the ground). (iii) Calculate
the range of the cannon ball.
(c) An Easter island statue has a mass of 2000 kg and a volume of
1.00 m3. (i) Calculate the weight of the statue. (ii) If the statue
is completely immersed in a swimming pool, and resting on the
bottom, explain how Archimedes' principle can be used to calculate
the upward buoyant force. (iii) Calculate the force the statue
would exert on the bottom of the swimming pool.
