Have you ever visited an amusement park and taken a ride on a parachute drop ride? These types of rides take the passengers to a

great height, and then drop them in free fall. Before they hit the ground, the ride is slowed using a Lenz’s law mechanism thus avoiding certain death. For this discussion, first locate a photo of one of these rides (either one you’ve personally experienced or one you might like to try someday), and in your initial post, upload the photo and respond to the following:
a. Explain how Lenz’s law applies to this situation.
b. Why is the Lenz’s law mechanism ideal for such a use?
c. What other mechanisms can be used to slow the descent? Compare and contrast these options with the Lenz’s law mechanism.

Finally, be sure to respond to at least two of your peers’ discussion posts.

Answer & Explanation:

a)

Lenz's law states that the direction of induced electric current is always such that, it opposes the change in magnetic flux.

In a drop ride, the hub on which we sit and are hung to is an electromagnet and there are many such magnets mounted on the columns of the support. what happens is these electromagnets (in support) generate a repulsive magnetic field with respect to the field generated by the hub solenoids. this results in lift generation till the top of ride. reaching the top, the bar solenoids are at their maximum repulsive force. Then the solenoids in column are set current less means electric supply is cut off. this makes you fall under the effect of gravity. by the time you are half way down, column  solenoids are turned on again. As the hub solenoid approaches every single electromagnet in supporting columns. Due to change in magnetic field (with respect to lenz's law) an opposing current induces further providing resistance to the fall, this continues until the ride comes to rest completely. This is how it works.  

c) In addition, highly compressive springs, dampers, viscous dampers, etc. could be used in its place.

but the above listed cannot provide a differential braking,

have a limited lifecycle,

will provide resistance during lift also,

require higher maintenance

During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 7.6 m/s2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive directio
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

24.57 revolutions

Explanation:

(a) If they do not slip on the pavement, then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = a / r = 7.6 / 0.26 = 29.23 rad/s^2

(b) We can use the following equation of motion to find out the angle traveled by the wheel before coming to rest:

\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta

where v = 0 m/s is the final angular velocity of the wheel when it stops, \omega_0 = 95rad/s is the initial angular velocity of the wheel, \alpha = -29.23 rad/s^2 is the deceleration of the wheel, and \Delta \theta is the angle swept in rad, which we care looking for:

0 - 95^2 = 2*29.23\Delta \theta

9025 = 58.46 \Delta \theta

\Delta \theta = 9025 / 58.46 = 154.375 rad

As each revolution equals to 2π, the total revolution it makes before stop is

154.375 / 2π = 24.57 revolutions

(a) A load of coal is dropped (straight down) from a bunker into a railroad hopper car of inertia 3.0 × 104 kg coasting at 0.50
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a) m=20000Kg

b) v=0.214m/s

Explanation:

We will separate the problem in 3 parts, part A when there were no coals on the car, part B when there is 1 coal on the car and part C when there are 2 coals on the car. Inertia is the mass in this case.

For each part, and since the coals are thrown vertically, the horizontal linear momentum p=mv must be conserved, that is, p=m_Av_A=m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C, were each velocity refers to the one of the car (with the eventual coals on it) for each part, and each mass the mass of the car (with the eventual coals on it) also for each part. We will write the mass of the hopper car as m_h, and the mass of the first and second coals as m_1 and m_2 respectively

We start with the transition between parts A and B, so we have:

m_Av_A=m_Bv_B

Which means

m_hv_A=(m_h+m_1)v_B

And since we want the mass of the first coal thrown (m_1) we do:

m_hv_A=m_hv_B+m_1v_B

m_hv_A-m_hv_B=m_1v_B

m_1=\frac{m_hv_A-m_hv_B}{v_B}=\frac{m_h(v_A-v_B)}{v_B}

Substituting values we obtain

m_1=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg)(0.5m/s-0.3m/s)}{0.3m/s}=20000Kg=2\times10^4Kg

For the transition between parts B and C, we can write:

m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C

Which means

(m_h+m_1)v_B=(m_h+m_1+m_2)v_C

Since we want the new final speed of the car (v_C) we do:

v_C=\frac{(m_h+m_1)v_B}{(m_h+m_1+m_2)}

Substituting values we obtain

v_C=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)(0.3m/s)}{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)}=0.214m/s

A solid sphere of mass 8.6 kg, made of metal whose density is 3,400 kg/, hangs by a cord. When the sphere is immersed in a liqui
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

A.1900 kg/m^3

Explanation:

We are given that

m=8.6 kg

Density,\rho_s=3400 kg/m^3

Tension,T=38 N

We have to find the density of liquid.

T=mg-\rho_l Vg

g=9.8 m/s^2

Volume,V=\frac{m}{\rho_s}

38=8.6\times 9.8-\rho_l\times \frac{8.6}{3400}\times 9.8

\rho_l\times \frac{8.6}{3400}\times 9.8=8.6\times 9.8-38

\rho_l=\frac{(8.6\times 9.8-38)\times 3400}{8.6\times 9.8}

\rho_l=1867kg/m^3\approx 1900 kg/m^3

Option A is true.
