Problems
1.An electric fan rotating at 3 rev/sec is switched off. It comes to
rest in 18 sec. Assuming deceleration to be uniform, find its value.
How many revolutions did it turn before coming to rest?
2.An earth satellite is in circular orbit at a distance of 384,000 km
from the earths surface. What is its period of one revolution in
days? Take mass of the earth M = 6.0 x 1024 kg and its radius R =
6400 km.
3.What is the least speed at which an aero plane can execute a vertical loop
of 1.0 km radius so that there will be no tendency for the pilot to fall down at
the highest point.
