Answer:

The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats faci

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The outer wall moves at a speed of 2.72 m/s.

Mass of the person, m = 75.1 kg

The person feels a force of 235 N force pressing against his back. The force acting on the person is centripetal force. It is given by the below formula :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

r is the radius of a chamber

$r=\dfrac{mv^2}{F}$

$r=\dfrac{75.1\times (2.72)^2}{235}$

r = 2.36 meters

So, the radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A block is released from rest, at a height h, and allowed to slide down an inclined plane. There is friction on the plane. At th

GREYUIT [131]

Here the block has two work done on it

1. Work done by gravity

2. Work done by friction force

So here it start from height "h" and then again raise to height hA after compressing the spring

So work done by the gravity is given as

$W_g = m_A g(h - h_A)$

Now work done by the friction force is to be calculated by finding total path length because friction force is a non conservative force and its work depends on total path

$W_f = -(\mu m_A g cos\theta)(\frac{h}{sin\theta} + \frac{h_A}{sin\theta})$
