Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A train is moving at a constant speed but suddenly accelerates while making a turn. Discuss how the passengers perceive forces acting on them using the concept of pseudo-forces.

💡 Hint: Think about how forces are perceived versus actual forces acting upon the train.

Challenge 2 Hard

Use the five-term acceleration formula to analyze a particle at the edge of a rotating disk with a radius of 2 meters at a speed of 3 m/s, with an angular acceleration of 0.5 rad/s².

💡 Hint: Split down the formula into parts for clarity.
