A neighbor's child wants to go to a neighborhood carnival to experience the wild rides. The neighbor is worried about safety as

one of the rides looks dangerous. and asks for your advice. the ride in question has a 10-lb chair which hangs freely from a 30-ft long chain attached to a pivot on the top of a tall tower. when a child enters the ride, the chain is hanging straight down. the child is then attached to the chair with a seat belt and shoulder harness.
When the ride starts up the chain rotates about the tower and reaches a maximum speed and remains at thta speed. It rotates the tower once every 3 seconds.

When you ask the operator he says that the ride is safe and sits in a stationary chair which creaks but holds the 200 pounds.

Has the operator shown that the ride is safe for a 50 lb child?

Answer:

No, the ride is not safe

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, it is seen that

\sum f_{y} = 0

\tau cos \theta - W = 0................(1)

\sum f_{x} = 0

-ma + \tau sin \theta = 0.......(2)

a = w^{2} r

From the diagram, r = Lsin \theta

a = w^{2} L sin \theta

w = \frac{2\pi }{T}

a = \frac{4\pi ^{2}L sin \theta }{T^{2} }............(3)

Put (3) into (2)

\tau sin \theta = \frac{4\pi ^{2}m L sin \theta }{T^{2} }

\tau  = \frac{4\pi ^{2}m L  }{T^{2} }

w = weight of chair + weight of child = 50 + 10 = 60 lb

g = 32 ft/s²

m = w/g = 60/32 = 1.875

L = 30 ft

T = 3 secs

\tau  = \frac{4\pi ^{2}*1.875*30  }{0.3^{2} }

\tau = 246.74 lbs

since 246.74 lbs > 200 lbs, it is not safe because the stationary chair will creak

Answer:

According to the result obtained, the trip is not safe for a 50 lb child.

Explanation:

The sum of forces in y must be equal to zero:

∑Fy = 0

0 = W + Tcosθ

The sum of forces in x:

∑Fx = m*a = -m*W²*r = -T1sinθ

r = Lsinθ

m*W²*Lsinθ = T1sinθ

m\frac{4\pi ^{2}L }{T^{2} } =T\\\frac{60}{32} \frac{4\pi ^{2} 30}{3^{2} } =T\\T=250lb

Like 250 lb > 200 lb, the answer is no

which has a greater kinetic energy, a bowling ball that has a mass of 5kg travelling at 6m/s, or a ship that has a mass of 12000
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:bowling ball has greater kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of bowling ball:

mass=m=5kg

Velocity=v=6m/s

Kinetic energy =ke

Ke=0.5 x m x v x v

Ke=0.5 x 5 x 6 x 6

Ke=90J

Kinetic energy of ship:

mass=m=120000kg

velocity=v=0.02m/s

Ke=0.5 x m x v x v

Ke=0.5 x 120000 x 0.02 x 0.02

Ke=24J

A hockey puck sliding on smooth ice at 4 m/s comes to a 1-m-high hill. Will it make it to the top of the hill?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

No  it will not make to the top of the hill  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The velocity is  v  =  4 \ m/s

    The height of the hill is  h  = 1 \  m

Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that

   The kinetic energy of the pluck at the level position =  The potential energy of the pluck at the maximum height the  pluck can get  to  

So

       \frac{1}{2}  * m * v^2 =  m *  g *  h_{max}

=>    \frac{1}{2}   * v^2 =    g *  h_{max}

=>     h_{max} =   \frac{0.5 * v^2}{g}

=>     h_{max} =  0.8163 \  m

Given that the maximum height which the pluck can get to at this speed given in the question is less than the height of the hill then conclusion will be that the pluck will not make it to the top of the hill
