In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 4.9-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against

the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.63 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. A sign next to the entrance says "No children under 30 kg allowed." What is the minimum angular speed, in rpm, for which the ride is safe?

Answer:

24.07415 rpm

Explanation:

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.63

v = Velocity

d = Diameter = 4.9 m

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{4.9}{2}=2.45\ m

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Here the frictional force balances the rider's weight

f=\mu F_n

The centripetal force balances the weight of the person

\mu m\frac{v^2}{r}=mg\\\Rightarrow \mu \frac{v^2}{r}=g\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{gr}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81\times 2.45}{0.63}}\\\Rightarrow v=6.17656\ m/s

Velocity is given by

v=\omega r\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{6.17656}{2.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.52104\ rad/s

Converting to rpm

2.52104\times \frac{60}{2\pi}=24.07415\ rpm

The minimum angular speed for which the ride is safe is 24.07415 rpm

Waves begin to "feel bottom" when the depth of water is
LekaFEV [45]
I think the correct answer would be one half the wavelength. Waves would "feel bottom" when the water is at the depth of 0.5 of the wavelength. "Feel bottom" is a term used to describe that the depth of water affects the wave properties. Hope this answers the question.

Find the voltage change when: a. An electric field does 12 J of work on a 0.0001-C charge. b. The same electric field does 24 J
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Work done by the electric field is 12 J on a 0.0001 C of charge. The electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charged particles. It is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{12}{0.0001}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

(b) Similarly, same electric field does 24 J of work on a 0.0002-C charge. The electric potential difference is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{24}{0.0002}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

Therefore, this is the required solution.
