Chapter 5, Problem 18PQ
A ball hanging from a light string or rod can be used as an accelerometer (a device that measures acceleration) as shown in Figure P5.18. What force causes the deflection of the ball? Is the cart in the lower part of the photo an inertial reference frame? How can the ball’s deflection be used to find the cart’s acceleration? In which direction is the cart accelerating? Explain your answers.

Consider dropping a baseball from rest at an altitude of 300 m. Assume that the baseball has a drag coefficient of 0.3, a mass of 0.145 kg, and a radius of 3.7 cm.
a. What is the terminal speed vT of this baseball?
b. Calculate the characteristic time tT = vT / |g|.
c. Set up the Newton application to model this situation. Let's agree that the ball has essentially reached its terminal velocity when its acceleration falls below |g| / 20. About how long must the baseball fall to reach terminal velocity according to this criterion? Express your answer as a multiple of the characteristic time tT. (Hints: Equation N9.17 might be helpful as you set up the program. A time step of 0.1 seconds works pretty well.)
Equation N9.17: az = -|g| * (1 - (vz2 / vT2))

about gravity in the universe. The simple set-up requires the use of two
softballs. Ball 1 has nothing attached to it. Ball 2 has a long string
connected to it. The first step of the activity is to throw Ball 1 in a
straight line down the hallway to model a planet that is not affected
by the Sun's gravity. What should be done in Step 2 to model the
Sun's effect on a planet?
A. The ball is thrown around the body while holding on to the string.
