On an amusement park ride, riders stand inside a cylinder of radius 8.0 m. At first the cylinder rotates horizontally. Then afte

r the cylinder has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane, as shown in the diagram. At top speed, the cylinder rotates once every 4.5 s.
The mass of one rider is 71 kg. When the rider is at the highest point and traveling at the top speed, with how much force is the rider pushed against the wall of the cylinder?

700 N

1800 N

410 N

1100 N

Answer:

410 N

Explanation:

At the highest point, there are two forces pushing the man towards the centre of the cylinder: the normal reaction (N) and his weight (W=mg). The sum of these two forces must be equal to the centripetal force. So we have

N+mg=m\omega^2 r (1)

where

m = 71 kg is the mass of the rider

g = 9.8 m/s^2

r = 8.0 m is the radius of the cylinder

\omega is the angular frequency

The cylinder rotates once every 4.5 s (period), so its angular frequency is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{4.5 s}=1.40 rad/s

So by solving eq.(1) for N, we find the force with which the wall pushes the rider:

N=m\omega^2 r-mg=(71 kg)(1.40 rad/s)^2(8.0m)-(71.0kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=417.5 N \sim 410 N

How is the motion of an object affected when a force acts on it?
Arada [10]

Newton's first law of motion is sometimes called the law of inertia. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate or decelerate. Unbalanced forces can also cause an object to change direction.

Hope that helps!

Artyom0805 [142]
He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.
