While watching some tv you see a circus show in which a woman drives a motorcycle around the inside of a vertical ring. you dete

rmine that she goes around at a constant speed and that it takes her 4.0 seconds to get around when she is going her slowest. if she is going at the minimum speed for this stunt to work, the motorcycle is just barely touching the ring when she is upside down at the top. at that point she is in free fall. she just makes it around without falling off the ring; but what is she made a mistake and her motorcycle fell of at the top? how high us is she? would someone be hurt falling from this height?

Since the biker is moving at constant speed

so we will have

v = \frac{distance}{time}

here we know that

distance = 2\pi R

time = 4 second

now we have

v = \frac{2\pi R}{4} = \frac{\pi R}{2}

now at the top point it feels free fall

so it is

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

v^2 = Rg

(\frac{\pi R}{2})^2 = Rg

R = \frac{4g}{\pi^2}

so height of the bike at the top is same as diameter

h = 2R

h = \frac{8g}{\pi^2} = 7.95 meter

Yes it will hurt on falling from this height

A space probe lands on a newly discovered planet. A small canister is released from the probe and falls a distance of 3 m in 0.5
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

24m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 3m

Time of fall = 0.5sec

Required

Acceleration due to gravity

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

3 = 0+1/2g(0.5)²

3 = 1/2(0.25)g

3 = 0.125g

g = 3/0.125

g = 24

Hence the value for the acceleration of gravity on this new planet is 24m/s²

kupik [55]

Answer:

C) 40 N/m

Explanation:

If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position

k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m
