At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats faci

ng the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 2.72 m/s, and an 75.1-kg person feels a 235-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of a chamber?

Answer:

The radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The outer wall moves at a speed of 2.72 m/s.

Mass of the person, m = 75.1 kg

The person feels a force of 235 N force pressing against his back. The force acting on the person is centripetal force. It is given by the below formula :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

r is the radius of a chamber

r=\dfrac{mv^2}{F}

r=\dfrac{75.1\times (2.72)^2}{235}

r = 2.36 meters

So, the radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

egoroff_w [7]

The centripetal acceleration of an object is given by the relation,

Ac =V^2/R

where Ac = centripetal acceleration = 98 m/s^2

R = radius of rotation = 15 m

V = speed of astronaut

Hence, \frac{V^2}{15} =98

solving this we get, V = 38.34 m/s

A weather balloon has a volume of 90.0 l when it is released from sea level. What
frozen [14]

The final atmospheric pressure is 5.19\cdot 10^4 Pa

Explanation:

Assuming that the temperature of the air does not change, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume. In formula,

pV=const.

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

The equation can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where in our problem we have:

p_1= 1.03\cdot 10^5 Pa is the initial pressure (the atmospheric pressure at sea level)

V_1 = 90.0 L is the initial volume

p_2 is the final pressure

V_2 = 175.0 L is the final volume

Solving the equation for p2, we find the final pressure:

p_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{V_2}=\frac{(1.01\cdot 10^5)(90.0)}{175.0}=5.19\cdot 10^4 Pa

A block with mass 0.5 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.2 m. W
lianna [129]

Answer:

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 0.5 kg

The spring is compressed by length x = 0.2 m

Spring constant of the sprig k = 100 N/m

Blocks moves a horizontal distance of s = 1 m

Work done in stretching the spring is equal to W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times 0.2^2=2J

This energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the block

And this kinetic energy must be equal to work done by the frictional force

So \mu mg\times s=2

\mu\times  0.5\times 9.8\times 1=2

\mu =0.4081

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081
