An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 8.26 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

nd of 1.14 m massless chains. When the system rotates, the chains make an angle of 16.2 degrees with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.1. What is the speed of each seat? I fixed my answer and got 3.57 m/s.2. If a child of mass 26.2 kg sits in a seat, what is the tension in the chain (for the same angle)?

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the necessary and effective distances that act as components of the centripetal and gravity Forces. Later using the same relationships we will find the speed of the body. The second part of the problem will use the equations previously found to find the tension.

PART A) We will begin by finding the two net distances.

r = \frac{8.26}{2} = 4.13m

And the distance 'd' is

d = lsin\theta

d = 1.14 sin 16.2\°

d = 0.318m

Through the free-body diagram the tension components are given by

Tcos\theta = mg

Tsin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

Here we can watch that,

R = r+d

Dividing both expression we have that,

tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}

Replacing the values,

tan(16.2) = \frac{v^2}{(4.13+0.318)(9.8)}

v = 4.83371m/s

PART B) Using the vertical component we can find the tension,

Tcos\theta = mg

T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}

T = \frac{(10+26.2)(9.8)}{cos(16.2)}

T = 369.42N

Which of the following objects have gravitational potential energy?
Brut [27]

Answer:

The apple

Explanation:

The apple has gravitational potential energy because it is just sitting there but nothing is pushing it up, it is not sitting on something. This means that it has a lot of gravitational potential energy as nothing is pushing it up.

A common physics demonstration is to drop a small magnet down a long, vertical aluminum pipe. Describe the motion of the magnet
Rzqust [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This experiment is known as Lenz's tube.

The Lenz tube is an experiment that shows how you can brake a magnetic dipole that goes down a tube that conducts electric current. The magnet, when falling, along with its magnetic field, will generate variations in the magnetic field flux within the tube. These variations create an emf induced according to Faraday's Law:

\varepsilon =-\frac{d\phi_B}{dt}

This emf induced on the surface of the tube generates a current within it according to Ohm's Law:

V=IR

This emf and current oppose the flux change, therefore a field will be produced in such a direction that the magnet is repelled from below and is attracted from above. The magnitude of the flux at the bottom of the magnet increases from the point of view of the tube, and at the top it decreases. Therefore, two "magnets" are generated under and above the dipole, which repel it below and attract above. Finally, the dipole feels a force in the opposite direction to the direction of fall, therefore it falls with less speed.

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.90 x 105 P
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inside pressure P_{in}= 1.90\times10^{5}\ Pa

Area A=3.90\times10^{-4}\ m^2

Outside pressure = 1 atm

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

F_{net}=F_{in}-F_{out}

F_{net}=(P_{in}-P_{out})A

Where, P_{in} =inside Pressure

P_{out} =outside Pressure

A = area

Put the value into the formula

F_{net}=(1.90\times10^{5}-1.013\times10^{5})3.90\times10^{-4}

F_{net}=34.59\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.
