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 can wind put off fire?
kipiarov [429]
♥ If the wind is strong enough it can do so.
♥ By having a strong enough wind you can blow out the fire before the flame can consume any more vapor.
♥ If the wind is fast enough, like a birthday cake candle for example, the wind will burn out.

Calculate the potential energy of a 5 kg object sitting at the top of a 2 meter ramp.
trapecia [35]
The formula used to find potential energy is <em>P.E. = M * G * H</em> (P.E. is potential energy, M is mass, G is gravitational pull, and H is height). So the answer to your question is <em>5 * 9.8 * 2</em>, which equals 98.
