Radial acceleration is given by

a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}
where 

v=r \omega
then

a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2

Now

70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2}  \\  \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }

Using the relation

\omega=2 \pi f

2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\  \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz

Putting into rpm

\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.
Sauron [17]

The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?
dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

I = MR^2

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

\omega= Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}

\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})

\omega = 104.7rad/s

Replacing our values we have that

\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}

\Omega = 1.17rad/s

The precession frequency is

\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}

T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}

T = 5.4 s

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s
