A "swing" ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung in a circle by 19.6 m cables attached to a vertical rotating pole

, as the drawing shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg. (a) Determine the tension in the cable attached to the chair. (b) Find the speed of the chair.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the cable is 19.6 m, l = 19.6 m

Let us assume that the angle with vertical rotating pole is 62.5 degrees.

The total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg.

(a) Let T is the tension in the cable attached to the chair. So,

T\cos\theta=mg\\\\T=\dfrac{mg}{\cos\theta}\\\\T=\dfrac{250\times 9.8}{\cos(62.5)}\\\\T=5305.91\ N

(b) The centripetal acceleration is balanced by :

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g\tan\theta\\\\v=\sqrt{Rg\tan\theta} \\\\v=\sqrt{l\sin\theta g\tan\theta}\\\\v=\sqrt{19.6\times \sin(62.5)9.8\times \tan(62.5)}\\\\v=18.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

radius, R = 19.6 m

mass, m = 250 kg

(a) The tension in the cable is T.

T = mg

T = 250 x 9.8

T = 2450 N

(b) Let v is the speed of the chair.

the tension force is balanced by the centripetal force.

T = mv²/r

2450 = 250 x v²/19.6

v² = 192.08

v = 13.86 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 13.86 m/s

In boxing, the use of 16-ounce gloves rather than 12-ounce gloves reduces the chance of injury because the force is distributed
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Here we have assumed that increasing the mass of a glove will increase the surface area.

Injury is caused by the application of pressure at a point on the body. The application of pressure takes place via the area of the gloves. Pressure is given by

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

where

F = Force

A = Area to which the force is applied

So, a bigger glove will increase the surface area and reduce the pressure resulting in a lower chance of injury.

Hence, the statement is true.

A very long solid insulating cylinder has radius R = 0.1 m and uniform charge density rho0= 10-3 C/m3. Find the electric field a
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

Explanation:

Given that:

\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3

R = (0.1) m

To find  the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

{\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)

For r < R

Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l

E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}

E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}

where;

\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

g The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positi
Arisa [49]

Answer:

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

Attractive

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms given by \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Based on the given information, the force that one atom exerts on the other is

Potential energy μ = \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Force exerted by one atom upon another

F_x = \frac{\partial U}{\partial X} = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (-\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

As we can see that the C_6 comes in positive and constant which represents that the force is negative that means the force is attractive in nature

A puck of mass 0.5100.510kg is attached to the end of a cord 0.8270.827m long. The puck moves in a horizontal circle without fri
yanalaym [24]

Answer: 2.75 1/sec

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the puck, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r (1)

Our unknown, is the frequency at which the puck can go around the circle, which is the inverse of the period Tp.

By definition, a period is the time needed by the puck to complete one entire circle.

By definition also , angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle advanced, so we can express this way:

ω = ∆θ / ∆t  

The angle advanced during one period, is exactly (by angle definition) 2 π radians.

So, we can always write the angular velocity, ω, as follows:

ω = 2π / Tp = 2πf

Now, there is a relationship between linear and angular velocity, that can be found applying simply the definition of velocity and of an angle too, as follows:

v = ∆s / ∆t = r ∆θ/∆t = ω r

Replacing in (1), we have:

T = mω2 r2 / r = m ω2r (2)

We have just found that ω= 2πf, so, replacing in (2) :

T = m (2π)2 f2 r  

Solving for f:

f = 1/2π√(T/mr) = 1/2π 17.28 1/sec = 2.75 1/sec
