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

Suppose a 4.0-kg projectile is launched vertically with a speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the maximum height the projectile reaches?
eduard

Answer:

h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)

Explanation:

This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the numbers = \frac{1}{2}(4.0)(8^{2})

Solve = 2(64) = 128 J

Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.

Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)

Kinetic energy = Potential Energy

128 J = 39.2h

h = 3.26 m

h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)

Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. how well did the results compar
valkas [14]
<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>
