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

In a crash test, a 2,500 kg car hits a concrete barrier at 13 m/s2 calculate the amount of force at which the car strikes the ba
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

32500N

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

m (mass) = 2500 kg

a (acceleration) = 13 m/s2

F (force) =?

Force is the product of mass and acceleration. It is represented mathematically as:

Force = mass x acceleration

F = m x a

With the above formula, the force with which the car strikes the barrier can be obtained as follow:

F = m x a

F = 2500 x 13

F = 32500N

Therefore, the car will strike the barrier with a force of 32500N
