Calculate the force of friction that keeps an 80-kg person sitting on the edge of a horizontal rotating platform when the person

sits 2 m from the center of the platform and has a tangential speed of 3 m/s.

Answer:

360N

Explanation:

The frictional force = centripetal force = mass * centripetal acceleration = ma

Since centripetal acceleration = V^2/ r

Frictional force = mv^2 / r

Substitute the values of m = 80kg, radius = 2m and tangential speed = 3m/s

Frictional force = 80 * (3)^2/ 2 = 360N

Which two terms indicate the same area of the body? *
Kruka [31]

Answer:

For example, the toes are anterior to the heel, and the popliteus is posterior to the patella. Superior and inferior, which describe a position above (superior) or below (inferior) another part of the body. For example, the orbits are superior to the oris, and the pelvis is inferior to the abdomen.

As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis
klio [65]

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.

Use the kinematic equation:

d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The block starts from rest, so:

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\12 = \frac{1}{2}a(4^2)\\\\\frac{24}{16} = a = 1.5 m/s^2

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

F = ma = m_bg - T

mb = mass of the block

T = tension of string

Solve for tension:

T = m_bg - ma = 8.2(9.8) - 8.2(1.5) = 68.06 N

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

\Sigma \tau = rF\\\\\Sigma\tau = rT

Rewrite:

I\alpha = rT

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

\alpha = a/r\\\\\alpha = 1.5/.42= 3.57 rad/sec^2

Now, plug in the values into the equation:

I(3.57) = (0.42)(68.06)\\\\I = (0.42)(68.06)/(3.57) = \boxed{8.00 kgm^2}

An open cart is rolling to the left on a horizontal surface. A package slides down a chute and lands in the cart. Which quantity
Marat540 [252]

Answer: the horizontal component of total momentum

Explanation:

Since the open cart is rolling to the left on the horizontal surface, the quantity that has the same value just before and just after the package lands in the cart is the horizontal component of total momentum.

Momentum, is the product of the mass of a particle and the velocity of the particle. The change of momentum depends on the force which acts on it. The addition of the the individual momenta is the total momentum.
