AQA A-Level Physics Year 2 Student Book Answers Chapter 1 ASSIGNMENT 1 A1 The total lateral friction on the tyres to just avoid the car going off at a tangent is equal to the required centripetal... force: F = m v 2 r = 690´(120´10 3 ¸3600) 2 70 =10952 =11000 N A2 The asymmetric curved shape and angle of a racing car aerofoil makes moving air flow faster below it than above, so the air pressure is lower below the aerofoil. This creates a downward force on the aerofoil pushing the car downwards. A3 At the Abbey bend, g-force = centripetal acceleration acceleration due to gravity = v 2 r g = (120´10 3 ¸3600) 2 ¸70 9.81 =1.6 So the g-force typically experienced by a driver at the Abbey bend is 1.6g. ASSIGNMENT 2 A1 a. Estimate from the diagram of the beam length from the centre to the back of the chair  5 m. Centripetal acceleration a =r w 2 =r ´ 2p T æ è ç ö ø ÷ 2 =5´ 4p 2 100 2 m s - 2 b. The normal contact force exerted by the seat on the rider’s back provides the centripetal force = mass of rider ´ centripetal acceleration. Estimate of rider’s mass  60 kg. Normal contact force 60´2 =120 N A2 a. There is nothing to provide a centripetal force on them, so they tend to move tangentially until they hit the side of the drum. b. Centripetal acceleration a =r w 2 =r ´(2pf ) 2 =0.3´ 2p´ 3000 60 æ è ç ö ø ÷ 2 =30000 m s –2 c. Using the estimate of the mass of a swimming costume  50 g, the normal contact force, N, on the inside surface on the swimming costume is given by N =m a 0.05´30000 =1500 N ASSIGNMENT 3 A1 2 A2 a. m g + N = m v 2 r b. N = 60´8.8 2 5 - 60´9.81=341 N A3 N – m g = m v 2 r N = 60´15 2 9 +(60´9.81) =2090 N A4 At the top of the loop m g + N = m v 2 r If N = 0, m g = m v 2 r , which gives v = r g = 5´9.81 =7.0 m s - 1 PRACTICE QUESTIONS 1a. i. 1a. ii. m g +T = m v 2 r Hence ´ = - ´ = 2 0.05 3 0.05 9.81 0.26 N 0.

Although the aircraft has a constant speed, its direction is changing. Since velocity is a vector quantity, if the direction changes the velocity must also be changing. If there is a velocity change there must be some acceleration since acceleration is equal to rate of change of velocity. 2b. When the aircraft is banked, it rotates about its centre of mass so that the lift force on the wings is no longer acting in the vertical direction. The horizontal component of the lift creates a resultant force towards the centre of the circle which provides the centripetal force. (See figure 16 in the Student Book.) 3 2c. i. The banking angle  can be found from tan = v 2 r g = (280´10 3 ¸3600) 2 3000´9.81 =0.2056 , which gives the banking angle,  = 12°. 2c. ii. centripetal acceleration a = v 2 r = (280´10 3 ¸3600) 2 3000 =2.0 m s - 2 3a.
