Rolling, Torque , and Angular Momentum

Rolling, Torque , and Angular Momentum 1. A constant horizontal force of magnitude 10 N is applied to a wheel of mass 10 kg and radius 0.30 m as shown in the figure below. The wheel rolls smoothly on the horizontal surface and the acceleration of its center of mass has magnitude 0.60 m/s^2. ( a) what are the magnitude and direction of the frictional force on the wheel ? 2. Two particles , each of mass m and speed v , travel in opposite directions along parallel lined separated by a distance d. (a) In terms of m, v and d , find an expression for the magnitude L of the angular momentum of the two-particle system around a point midway between the two lines. (b) Does the expressio... click for more

A 905 kg test car travels around a 3.25 km circular track. If the magnitude of the force that maintains the car's circular motion is 2140 N, what is the car's tangential speed? Please show all work, anwser and formulas used. Thanks.

Gravitational force

Mars has a mass of about 6.4 x 10^23 kg, and its moon Phobos has a mass of about 9.6 x 10^15 kg. If the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two bodies is 4.6 x 10^15 N, how far apart are Mars and Phobos? Please show the work, answer and the formulas you used. Thanks!

Tarzan tries to cross a river by swinging from one bank to the other on a vine that is 10.0 m long. His speed at the bottom of the swing, just as he clears the surface of the river, is 8.0 m/s. Tarzan does not know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1.0 x 10^3 N. What is the largest mass Tarzan can have and make it safetly across the river? Please show the work, answer and the formulas you used. Thanks!
