The first three questions refer to the material you were to read in preparation for the lesson. Questions one and two require you to write a three or four sentence response. Number three is a multiple choice question. Click in the appropriate circle. Questions 4 is your opportunity to suggest what we should emphasize today and how.

1.

A disk is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the center of table top and attached to the other disk beneath the table. Assuming the surface is friction free, the angular velocity of the object is 1 rad/s, and the radius of the circular path of the object is 2 m, calculate the tension T in the string.

2. If a 1000 kg auto exits onto a circular off-ramp with a radius of 100 m at 40 m/s. A friction force between the tires and the road keep it from sliding off the road. Is this a static or kinetic friction force? What factors need to be considered to determine the magnitude of this force?

3.

If a ball moves in a horizontal circle the tension in the circle is a constant. But what if the ball moves in a vertical circle?

The tension is the same everywhere.

The tension is greatest at A.

The tension is greatest at B and D.

The tension is greatest at C.

4. Below is a space for your thoughts, including general comments about today's assignment (what seemed impossible, what reading didn't make sense, what we should spend class time on, what was "cool", etc.):
