A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"

with an apparent weight only 50 % of their true weight. How fast is the coaster moving?

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

Answer:

3 N to the right

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the car:

- A force of 10 N towards the right

- A force of 7 N towards the left

Therefore, the net force is given by the difference between the two, since they are in opposite directions:

F=10 N-7 N=3 N

And the direction is to the right, since the force to the right has greater magnitude than the force to the left.

Calculate the force at sea level that a boy of mass 50 kg exerts on a chair in which he is sitting.
kogti [31]

As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence the weight of the boy w = mg  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 50 kg.

                             Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =490 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 490 N

Here newton [N] is the unit of force.
