A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 9.5 m. Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. T

he Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 7.6 s. Consider a rider whose mass is 57 kg.
At the bottom of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum?

Answer:

928.34 N

Explanation:

Radius=r=9.5 m

Time period of revolution=T=7.6 s

Mass of rider=m=57 kg

We have to find the rate of change of the rider's momentum at the bottom of the ride

According to Newton's second law of motion

$F_{net}=ma_c$

$N-mg=mr\omega^2$

$N=mg+mr(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2$

Where $\pi=3.14,g=9.8 m/s^2$

Using the formula

$N=57\times 9.8+57\times 9.5(\frac{2\times 3.14}{7.6})^2$

$N=928.34 N$

Hence, the rate of change of the rider's momentum=928.34 N

A boy sleds down a hill and onto a frictionless ice- covered lake at 10.0 m/s. In the middle of the lake is a 1000-kg boulder. W

mina [271]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 9.2 m/s

The speed of the boulder is 0.82 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the boulder, $m_{B} = 1000\ kg$

Mass of the sled, $m_{S} = 2.50\ kg$

Mass of the boy, $m_{b} = 40\ kg$

Initial Velocity, v = 10.0 m/s

Now,

To calculate the speed of both the sled and the boulder after the occurrence of the collision:

m = $m_{b} + m_{S} = 40 + 2.50 = 42.50\ kg$

Initial velocity of the boulder, $v_{B} = 0\ m/s$

Since, the collision is elastic, both the energy and momentum rem,ain conserved.

Now,

Using the conservation of momentum:

$mv + m_{B}v_{B} = mv' + m_{B}v'_{B}$

where

v' = final velocity of the the system of boy and sled

$v'_{B}$ = final velocity of the boulder

$42.50\times 10 + m_{B}.0 = 42.50v' + 1000v'_{B}$

$42.50v' + 1000v'_{B} = 425$ (1)

Now,

Using conservation of energy:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_{B}v_{B}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}mv'^{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_{B}v'_{B}^{2}$

$42.50\times 10^{2} + m_{B}.0 = 42.50v'^{2} + 1000v'_{B}^{2}$

$42.50v'^{2} + 1000v'_{B}^{2} = 4250$ (2)

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

$v' = \frac{m - m_{B}}{m + m_{B}}\times v$

$v' = \frac{42.50 - 1000}{42.5 + 1000}\times 10 = - 9.2\ m/s$

Now,

$v'_{B} = \frac{2m}{m + m_{B}}\times v$

$v'_{B} = \frac{2\times 42.50}{42.5 + 1000}\times 10 = 0.82\ m/s$

Two identical waves are moving in the same direction with the same speed. If the amplitude of the combination of the two waves i

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The phase difference between these two waves is 141.1⁰

Explanation:

The displacement of the wave is given as;

$Y = y_xSin(Kx - \omega t)+y_xSin(Kx- \omega t + \phi)\\\\Y = 2y_xCos(\frac{1}{2} \phi)Sine(Kx- \omega t + \frac{1}{2} \phi)$

Amplitude, A = 2yₓCos(¹/₂Φ)

Since the amplitude of the combination is 1.5 times that of one of the original amplitudes = yₓ = 1.5 × A = 1.5A

A = 2(1.5A)Cos(¹/₂Φ)

A = 3ACos(¹/₂Φ)

¹/₃ = Cos(¹/₂Φ)

(¹/₂Φ) = Cos ⁻(0.3333)

(¹/₂Φ) = 70.55°

Φ = 141.1°

The phase difference between these two waves is 141.1⁰

Why do we need to have an understanding about impulse and momentum ?

bonufazy [111]

Impulse is the interval of a force ,f,over the time interval ,t,for which it acts
Formula p=f t
Momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body measured as a product of its mass and velocity
Formula p=m v
P=momentum
M=mass
V=velocity
