A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large r = 11 m cylinder in which people stand against the outer wall. the cylin

der spins so that the riders move with a linear speed v. At a certain point the floor of the cylinder lowers and the people are surprised they don't slide down. The friction between the wall and their clothes is μs = 0.62. What is the minimum speed, in meters per second, that the cylinder must make a person move at to ensure they will "stick" to the wall?

Answer:

 v = 13.19 m / s

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using Newton's second law, we create a reference system where the x-axis is perpendicular to the cylinder and the Y-axis is vertical

 

X axis

       N = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

       a = v² / r

Y Axis

      fr -W = 0

      fr = W

The force of friction is

     fr = μ N

Let's calculate

    μ (m v² / r) = mg

   μ v² / r = g

   v² = g r / μ

   v = √ (g r /μ)

   v = √ (9.8 11 / 0.62)

   v = 13.19 m / s

In which situation can you be at rest and moving at then same time
anyanavicka [17]

If you are stationary, but in/on a moving vehicle/object you can be at rest and moving at then same time.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • A particle, when viewed from a given frame of reference, cannot be both at rest and in motion. However, in one frame of reference, a particle can be in motion whereas in another frame of reference the particle is in motion.
  • For example, if you are seated in a plane, the plane is stationary in that reference frame and the Earth moves under it, but in the reference frame of the Earth, the plane is moving concerning the Earth. When you are standing still on Earth, in your frame of reference, the Earth is stationary, and the Sun and stars move around the Earth.
  • However, in the frame of reference of the center of our solar system, the Earth orbits the Sun and the Sun are perturb slightly by the rest of the planets, but the rest of the galaxy orbits our solar system. Of course, in rest from our Galaxy, our solar system orbits a giant black hole at its center.

When a metal reacts with a non-metal it forms what???​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms, forming ions. The resulting compound is called an ionic compound.

Mass wasting is also commonly triggered by the vibrational waves associated with earthquakes. Explain how earthquakes can disrup
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The vibrations will put the particles into suspension reducing the frictional forces between them.

Explanation:

The downslope movement of surface material under the direct influence of gravity is called "Mass Wasting." Mass wasting plays a vital role in transferring the products of weathering from their original sites to lower-lying places where the agents of erosion can pick them up for transporting a longer distance.

There are 2 main types of mass wasting;

1. rapid mass movements

2. slow mass movements.

Shearing of soil grains from S-waves rounds jagged corners reducing frictional resistance. Also, Shaking from the seismic waves increases the water content of the material.

Mass movements are part of a continuum of erosional processes between weathering and stream transport. Mass movement causes regolith and rock to move down-slope where sooner or later the loose particles will be picked up by another transporting agent and eventually moved to a site of deposition such as an ocean basin or lake bed.

Mass movement processes are occurring continuously on all slopes; some act very slowly, others occur very suddenly, often with disastrous.

How earthquake cause mass movement

1. Earthquake causes vibrations and this will put the particles into suspension reducing the frictional forces between them.

2. It also cause the shaking from the seismic waves increases the water content of the material.
