A student of weight 652 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude

of the normal force on the student from the seat is 585 N. (a) What is the magnitude of at the lowest point

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of person $W=652\ N$

At highest point Magnitude of the normal force $F=585\ N$

net force at highest point

$F_{net}=W+F_c$

where $F_c=$ centripetal force

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

$F_{net}=F_{n}=$ Normal Force

$585=652+F_c$

$F_c=-67\ N$

Negative sign shows force is in upward direction

At bottom point centripetal force is towards the bottom

$F_n=F_c+W$

$F_n=652+67$

$F_n=719\ N$

Some parents build their children’s lives around sports and place a high premium on the successes their children achieve in spor

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

I think they cross the line when they force sports into their child's life, and take away their choice of what they want to do so they essentially waste their childhood preparing for something that may never happen or they just don't get the opportunity to explore their artistic abilities.

Importance of a cell

Anika [276]

Explanation:

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions.

What is the Kinetic Energy of a tennis ball after 40.0cm of freefall?

OlgaM077 [116]

The kinetic energy is the same as the potential energy of raising it 40cm (0.4m). That's mgh where m is mass of ball. Its then 3.924*m, whatever m is equal to in kg.

The total energy of a block—spring system is 0.18 J. The amplitude is 14.0 cm and the maximum speed is 1.25 m/s. Find: (a) the m

algol13

a) The mass is 0.23 kg

b) The spring constant is 1.25 N/m

c) The frequency is 1.42 Hz

d) The speed of the block is 1.08 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We can find the mass of the block by applying the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the total mechanical energy of the system (which is sum of elastic potential energy, PE, and kinetic energy, KE) is constant:

$E=PE+KE=const.$

The potential energy is given by

$PE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement. When the block is crossing the position of equilibrium, x = 0, so all the energy is kinetic energy:

$E=KE_{max}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass of the block

$v_{max}=1.25 m/s$ is the maximum speed

We also know that the total energy is

$E=0.18 J$

Re-arranging eq.(1), we can find the mass:

$m=\frac{2E}{v_{max}^2}=\frac{2(0.18)}{(1.25)^2}=0.23 kg$

b)

The maximum speed in a spring-mass system is also given by

$v_{max} =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} A$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

A is the amplitude

Here we have:

$v_{max}=1.25 m/s$ is the maximum speed

m = 0.23 kg is the mass

A = 14.0 cm = 0.14 m is the amplitude

Solving for k, we find the spring constant

$k=\frac{v_{max}^2}{A^2}m=\frac{1.25^2}{0.14^2}(0.23)=18.3 N/m$

c)

The frequency in a spring-mass system is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

In this problem, we have:

k = 18.3 N/m is the spring constant (found in part b)

m = 0.23 kg is the mass (found in part a)

Substituting and solving for f, we find the frequency of the system:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{18.3}{0.23}}=1.42 Hz$

d)

We can solve this part by using the law of conservation of energy; in fact, we have

$E=PE+KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where v is the speed of the system when the displacement is equal to x.

We know that the total energy of the system is

E = 0.18 J

Also we know that

k = 18.3 N/m is the spring constant

m = 0.23 kg is the mass

Substituting

x = 7.00 cm = 0.07 m

We can solve the equation to find the corresponding speed v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2E-kx^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.18)-(18.3)(0.07)^2}{0.23}}=1.08 m/s$
