The Apollo astronauts trained in several places, but Húsavík, Iceland, with its volcanic landscape, provided the best geological experience for their lunar mission. NASA sent the first group of Apollo astronauts to train in 1965, and two years later, a second crew arrived and spent 10 days collecting rocks and other geological samples.

A bug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . What minimum coefficient frictio

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.27.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, start with identifying the forces at play here. First, the bug staying on the rotating turntable will be subject to the centripetal force constantly acting toward the center of the turntable (in absence of which the bug would leave the turntable in a straight line). Second, there is the force of friction due to which the bug can stick to the table. The friction force acts as an intermediary to enable the centripetal acceleration to happen.

Centripetal force is written as

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

with v the linear velocity and r the radius of the turntable. We are not given v, but we can write it as

$v = r\omega$

with ω denoting the angular velocity, which we are given. With that, the above becomes:

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}=m\omega^2 r$

Now, the friction force must be at least as much (in magnitude) as Fc. The coefficient (static) of friction μ must be large enough. How large?

$F_r=\mu mg \geq m\omega^2 r = F_c\implies\\\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}$

Let's plug in the numbers. The angular velocity should be in radians per second. We are given rev/min, which can be easily transformed by a factor 2pi/60:

$\frac{1 rev}{1 min}\cdot\frac{\frac{2\pi rad}{rev}}{\frac{60s}{1 min}}=\frac{2\pi}{60}\frac{rad}{s}$
