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

A box is pushed 40 m by a mover. The amount of work done was 2,240 j. How much force was exerted on the box
Georgia [21]

The force exerted on the box is 56 N

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the box in this problem, we have:

W = 2240 J is the work done

d = 40 m is the displacement of the box

Assuming that the  force is parallel to the displacement, \theta=0

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted on the box:

F=\frac{W}{d cos \theta}=\frac{2240}{(40)(cos 0)}=56 N

A(n) 1.3 kg mass sliding on a frictionless surface has a velocity of 7.1 m/s east when it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic co
Oxana [17]

Answer: 2.12 kg

Explanation:

Since the 1.3 kg object moves to the west after the collision, the other object will move to the east after the collision.

In an elastic collision, the relative velocity after the collision is the opposite of the relative velocity before the collision. Since the 1.3 kg object’s velocity before the collision is 6.7 m/s greater than the other object, after the collision, its velocity will be 6.7 m/s less than the other object. To determine the other object’s velocity, use the following equation.

v = 1.7 – 7.1 = -5.4 m/s

The negative sign means it is moving eastward. Let’s use this number is a momentum equation to determine its mass.

Initial momentum = 1.3 * 7.1 = 9.23 east

For the 1.3 object, final momentum = 1.3 * 1.7 = 2.21 west

To determine the final momentum of the other object, add these two numbers.

Final momentum = 11.44 east

To determine its mass, use the following equation.

m * 5.4 = 11.44

m = 11.44 ÷ 5.4 = 2.12 kg

To make sure that kinetic energy is conserved, let’s round this number to 2 kg and determine the final kinetic energies.

For the 1.3 object, KE = 1/2 * 1/3* 1.7^2 = 0.48

For the 2 kg object, KE = 1/2* 2 * 5.4^2 = 29.64

Total final KE = 29.64

Initial KE = 0.5* 1.3 * 7.1^2 = 32.77

Since I rounded the mass up to 2kg, this proves that kinetic energy is conserved and the mass is correct!
