A puck is sliding around a circular track that is banked at an angle with respect to the horizontal such that no friction betwee

n the puck and the track is required to keep the puck from slipping up or down the track. If the puck is moving at a speed 31.9 m/s and the radius of the track is 421 m, determine θ .

Answer:

θ = 14.27°

Explanation:

The only force acting on the puck is the gravitational force. Since the track is banked with an angle θ, we have to separate the components of the weight.

For the sake of simplicity, I will denote the perpendicular direction to the truck as the y-direction, and the direction along the radius as the x-direction.

So, the free-body diagram of the puck is as follows:

1- x-component of the weight of the puck: mgsinθ

2- y-component of the weight of the puck: mgcosθ

3- Normal force in the y-direction perpendicular to the track.

Since there is no motion on the y-direction, normal force is equal to the y-component of the weight of the puck.

The x-component of the weight of the puck is equal to the centripetal force according to Newton's Second Law:

F = ma\\mg\sin{\theta} = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\\sin{\theta} = \frac{v^2}{gR}

Substituting the variables given in the question, the angle of the track can be found:

\sin{\theta} = \frac{(31.9)^2}{(9.8)(421)} = 0.2466\\\theta = 14.27^\circ

Calculate the heat energy required to increase the temperature of 3 kg of water by 20ºC. The specific heat capacity of water is
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Heat energy required = 252000J or 252KJ.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 3kg

Temperature = 20ºC

Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg°C

To find the heat energy required;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

  • Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • c represents the specific heat capacity of water.
  • t represents the temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 3*4200*20

Q = 252000 Joules or 252 Kilojoules.

Answer:

Incomplete question

The complete question is

A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 6.0 m. Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 9.6 s. Consider a rider whose mass is 96 kg.

At the bottom of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum?

Explanation:

Radius of wheel is 6m

Rider mass=96kg

He completes one revolution in 9.6s

Let get angular velocity (w)

1 Revolution =2πrad

θ=2πrad

w= θ/t

w=2π/9.6

w=0.654rad/s

Linear speed is give as

v=wr

v=0.654×6

v=3.93m/s

Centripetal acceleration a

a=rw²

a=6×0.654²

a=2.57m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/s²

According to Newton's second law of motion net force acting on the rider at the bottom of the ride is given by: the two force acting at the bottom is the normal and the weight of the rider

ΣF = ma

N-W=ma

N-mg=ma

N=ma+mg

N=m(a+g)

N=96(2.57+9.81)

N=1188.48 N

Therefore the rate of change of momentum at the bottom of the ride is 1188.48 N.

Describe one common critique or criticism of Utilitarianism. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this criticism?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The second most common criticism of utilitarianism is that it is impossible to apply - that happiness (etc) cannot be quantified or measured, that there is no way of calculating a trade-off between intensity and extent, or intensity and probability (etc), or comparing happiness to suffering.
