A coin C of mass 0.0050kg is placed on a horizontal disk at a distance of 0.14m from the center, as shown. The disk rotates at a constant rate in a counterclockwise direction as seen from. The coin does not slip, and the time it takes for the coin to make a complete revolution is 1.5 s.
a. The figure below shows the disk and coin as viewed from above. Draw and label vectors on the figure below to show the instantaneous acceleration and linear velocity vectors for the coin when it is at the position shown.
b. Determine the linear speed of the coin.
c. The rate of rotation of the disk is gradually increased. The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the disk is 0.50. Determine the linear speed of the coin when it just begins to slip.
d. If the experiment in part (c) were repeated with a second, identical coin glued to the top of the first coin, how would this affect the answer to part (c)? Explain your reasoning.
