The correct answer is option #4. The greatest obstacle to developing solar energy is large areas required to collect sufficient energy. Solar energy is the energy that is the sun is producing and being converted into thermal energy that can be used for everyone's daily lives.

Answer:

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

$M=0.0182\ J$

$v=0.398\ m/s$

Explanation:

<u>Simple Pendulum</u>

It's a simple device constructed with a mass (bob) tied to the end of an inextensible rope of length L and let swing back and forth at small angles. The movement is referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).

(a) The angular frequency of the motion is computed as

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

We have the length of the pendulum is L=0.81 meters, then we have

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.81}}$

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

(b) The total mechanical energy is computed as the sum of the kinetic energy K and the potential energy U. At its highest point, the kinetic energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is pure potential energy, which is computed as

$U=mgh$

where h is measured to the reference level (the lowest point). Please check the figure below, to see the desired height is denoted as Y. We know that

$H+Y=L$

And

$H=L\ cos\alpha$

Solving for Y

$Y=L(1-cos\alpha )$

$Since\ \alpha=8.1^o, L=0.81\ m$

$Y=0.0081\ m$

The potential energy is

$U=mgh=0.23\ kg(9.8\ m/s^2)(0.0081\ m)$

$U=0.0182\ J$

The mechanical energy is, then

$M=K+U=0+U=U$

$M=0.0182\ J$

(c) The maximum speed is achieved when it passes through the lowest point (the reference for h=0), so the mechanical energy becomes all kinetic energy (K). We know

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Equating to the mechanical energy of the system (M)

$\displaystyle \frac{mv^2}{2}=0.0182$

Solving for v

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.0182)}{0.23}}$

$v=0.398\ m/s$

An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 11.1 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

frozen [14]

To solve this problem we will use the relationship given between the centripetal Force and the Force caused by the weight, with respect to the horizontal and vertical components of the total tension given.

The tension in the vertical plane will be equivalent to the centripetal force therefore

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

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

r = Radius

The tension in the horizontal plane will be subject to the action of the weight, therefore

$Tcos\theta = mg$

Matching both expressions with respect to the tension we will have to

$T = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta}$

$T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Then we have that,

$\frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta} = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

$\frac{mv^2}{r} = mg tan\theta$

Rearranging to find the velocity we have that

$v = \sqrt{grTan\theta}$

The value of the angle is 14.5°, the acceleration (g) is 9.8m/s^2 and the radius is

$r = \frac{\text{diameter of rotational circular platform}}{2} + \text{length of chains}$

$r = \frac{11.1}{2}+2.41$

$r = 7.96m$

Replacing we have that

$v = \sqrt{(9.8)(7.96)tan(14.5\°)}$

$v = 4.492m/s$

Therefore the speed of each seat is 4.492m/s
