A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1

2 m and the loop has a radius of curvature of 15 m. (a) When going over the hump, the coaster is traveling with a speed of 9.0 m/s. A 100-kg rider is traveling on the coaster. What is the normal force of the rider’s seat on the rider when he is at the peak of the hump? Compare this with the normal force he would experience when the coaster is at rest. (b) What is the minimum speed the coaster must have at the top of the loop in order for the rider to remain in contact with his seat? Is this speed dependent on the mass of the rider?

Answer:

Part a)

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

mg - F_n = ma_c

now we will have

mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}

F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we have

F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}

F_n = 981 - 675

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

F_n + mg = ma_c

F_n = 0 at minimum speed

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

The velocity of a 48.0 g shell leaving a 2.95 kg rifle is 391. m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the rifle?
Monica [59]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{  -6.36m/s}

Use the equation:

v_{2} = -\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} v_{1}

Where m2 and v2 deal with the larger object, and m1 and v1 with the smaller object. Plug in the given values:

v2 = ?

m1 = 0.048 kg (converted)

m2 = 2.95

v1 = 391

v_{2} = -\frac{0.048}{2.95} *391

v_{2} = -6.36m/s

Which shows the correct lens equation? The inverse of f equals the inverse of d Subscript o Baseline times the inverse of d Subs
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The inverse of f equals the inverse of d Subscript o Baseline plus the inverse of d Subscript I Baseline.

Explanation:

The lens equation shows the relation among focal length of the lens, image distance and object distance. It can be expressed as:

  \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o} } + \frac{1}{d_{I} }

where: f is the focal length of the lens, d_{o} is the object distance to the lens and d_{I} is the image distance to the lens.

The lens equation can be used to determine the unknown value among the variables f , d_{o} and d_{o}.

A disk of radius 10 cm speeds up from rest. it turns 60 radians reaching an angular velocity of 15 rad/s. what was the angular a
stepan [7]

Answer:

a) α = 1.875 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

b) t = 8 s

Explanation:

Given:

ω1 = 0 \frac{rad}{s}

ω2 = 15 \frac{rad}{s}

theta (angular displacement) = 60 rad

*side note: you can replace regular, linear variables in kinematic equations with angular variables (must entirely replace equations with angular variables)*

a) α = ?

(ω2)^2 = (ω1)^2 + 2α(theta)

15^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(α)(60)

225 = 120α

α = 1.875 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

b)

α = (ω2-ω1)/t

t = (ω2-ω1)/α = (15-0)/1.875 = 8

t = 8 s
