At what minimum speed must a roller coaster be traveling when upside down at the top of a 7.4 m radius loop-the-loop circle so t

he passengers will not fall out?
Physics
1 answer:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

v = 8.5 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the passengers not to fall out of the loop circle, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the passenger. Therefore,

Weight = Centripetal Force

but,

Weight = mg

Centripetal Force = mv²/r

Therefore,

mg = mv²/r

g = v²/r

v² = gr

v = √gr

where,

v = minimum speed required = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius = 7.4 m

Therefore,

v = √(9.8 m/s²)(7.4 m)

<u>v = 8.5 m/s</u>

What is dark energy?
expeople1 [14]
Dark energy is a theoretical repulsive energy that causes the acceleration to the expansion of the universe. Among the choices, the nearest answer would be D. Dark energy can also be defined as a new form of energy, that is a dynamic field that fills up space but has an effect opposite to that of normal energy.

According to the graph, how many atoms would remain after two half-lives?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Let No be initial no of atoms

N = N0 / 2      after 1 half-life

N = N0 / 4     after 2 half-lives

So after 2 half-lives 20 of the 80 atoms remain

Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (see fi
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a

The  radial acceleration is  a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

b

The horizontal Tension is  T_x  = 0.3294 i  \ N

The vertical Tension is  T_y  =3.3712 j   \ N

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

   The length of the string is  L =  10.7 \ cm  =  0.107 \ m

     The mass of the bob is  m = 0.344 \  kg

     The angle made  by the string is  \theta  =  5.58^o

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

         F  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

     F  =  Tsin \theta where T is the tension on the rope  and v is the linear velocity  

     So

          Tsin \theta  =   \frac{mv^2}{r}

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is  mathematically represented as

          Tcos \theta = mg

So

       \frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta }  =  \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}

=>    tan \theta  =  \frac{v^2}{rg}

=>   g tan \theta  = \frac{v^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration  of the bob is mathematically represented as

      a_c  =  \frac{v^2}{r}

=>  a_c  = gtan \theta

substituting values

     a_c  =  9.8  *  tan (5.58)

     a_c  = 0.9574 m/s^2

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

     T_x  = Tsin \theta = ma_c

substituting value

   T_x  = 0.344 *  0.9574

    T_x  = 0.3294 \ N

The vertical component of  tension is  

    T_y  =  T \ cos \theta  = mg

substituting value

     T_ y  =  0.344 * 9.8

      T_ y  = 3.2712 \ N

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is  

         

       T  = T_x i  + T_y  j

substituting value  

      T  = [(0.3294) i  + (3.3712)j ] \  N

Answer:

Roles and responsibilities

Explanation:

Definition of safety plan:

"A Safety Plan is a written document that describes the process for identifying the physical and health hazards that could harm workers, <em>procedures to prevent accidents</em>, and steps to take when accidents occur. Written safety plans can be comprehensive, such as an injury and illness prevention program, or they can be specific to a particular activity, hazard, or piece of equipment. The written safety plan is your blueprint for keeping workers safe."

Alternative definition

"What is an OSHA Safety Plan? An OSHA Safety Plan is a written plan that describes the potential hazards in the workplace, <u><em>and the company policies</em></u>, controls, and <u><em>work practices</em></u> used to minimize those hazards."

elements of a safety plan:

Basic Safety Plan Elements

Policy or goals statement

<u><em>List of responsible persons</em></u>

Hazard identification

<em>Hazard controls and safe practices</em>

<em>Emergency and accident response</em>

Employee training and communication

<em>Recordkeeping</em>

I say roles and responsibilities because it makes sense that if it's your responsibility and possibly something that could be dangerous -- hence a safety plan --  you would have to sign it before working. I hope this helps!

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if
Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.
