A circular-motion addict of mass 82.0 kg rides a Ferris wheel around in a vertical circle of radius 10.0 m at a constant speed o

f 7.10 m/s. (a) What is the period of the motion? What is the magnitude of the normal force on the addict from the seat when both go through (b) the highest point of the circular path and (c) the lowest point?

Answer:

(a) Time period is 8.85 s

(b) Normal force at the highest point is 390.2 N

(c) Normal force at the lowest point is 1217 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of person, m = 82.0 kg

Radius of the wheel, r = 10.0 m

Speed of the wheel, v = 7.10 m/s

(a) Time period of the circular motion is determine by the relation:

T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

T=\frac{2\pi\times10 }{7.10}

T = 8.85 s

(b) The normal force ( F ) at the highest point of the circular path is given by the relation:

F = F₁ - F₂     ....(1)

Here F₁ is gravitational downward force acting on the person and F₂ is the centripetal force.

Gravitational Force, F₁ = mg

Here g is acceleration due to Earth's gravity.

Centripetal force, F₂ = mv²/r

Thus, the equation (1) becomes:

F=mg-\frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

F=82\times9.8-\frac{82\times7.10^{2} }{10}

F = 390.2 N

(c) The normal force ( F ) at the lowest point of the circular path is given by the relation:

F = F₁ + F₂     ....(2)

Here F₁ is gravitational downward force acting on the person and F₂ is the centripetal force.

Thus the equation (2) becomes:

F=mg+\frac{mv^{2} }{r}

F=82\times9.8+\frac{82\times7.10^{2} }{10}

F = 1217 N

If a scale on Earth reads 650 N, what is your mass?
OlgaM077 [116]
If the scale reads 650N, then the mass of whoever it is standing on the scale is

         (weight) / (gravity)  =  (650N) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  66.3 kilograms  .

It's not MY mass, even if I'm the one standing on the scale. 
If I stand on a scale and it reads 650 N, the scale is broken.

1. What is energy? What can an object with energy do?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.

A body is moving with a uniform acceleration of 2m/s² what does it mean?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

the body has energy due to its constant motion. it means it moves in a uniform acceleration which has zero velocity

Explanation:

Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.
