If the coefficient of friction is 0.3900 and the cylinder has a radius of 2.700 m, what is the minimum angular speed of the cyli

nder so that the people don't fall out? (Normally the operator runs it considerably faster as a safety measure.)

Answer:

w=3.05 rad/s or 29.88rpm

Explanation:

k = coefficient of friction = 0.3900

R = radius of the cylinder = 2.7m

V = linear speed of rotation of the cylinder

w = angular speed = V/R or to rewrite V = w*R

N = normal force to cylinder

N= $=\frac{m(V)^{2}}{R}=m*(w)^2*R$

$Friction force\\Ff = k*N\\Ff= k*m*w^2*R$

$Gravitational force \\Fg = m*g$

These must be balanced (the net force on the people will be 0) so set them equal to each other.

$Fg = Ff$

$m*g = k*m*w^2*R$

$g=k*w^{2}*R$

$w^2 =\frac{g}{k*R}$

$w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{k*R}} \\w =\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{0.3900*2.7m}}\\ w=\sqrt{9.306}=3.05 \frac{rad}{s}$

There are 2*pi radians in 1 revolution so:

$RPM=\frac{w}{2\pi }*60\\RPM=\frac{3.05\frac{rad}{s}}{2\pi}*60\\RPM= 0.498*60\\RPM=29.88$

So you need about 30 RPM to keep people from falling out the bottom

Which weather event is capable of destroying homes and uprooting trees due to a low pressure area at its center

Bond [772]

You're talking about a <em>tornado</em>.

It's not so much the low pressure that's so dangerous in the center of a tornado. It's more a matter of the high winds that are <em>caused </em>by the low pressure.

an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni

stiv31 [10]

The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at time t = 0.0 s, w a velocity of 30 m/s. The acceleration due to grav

Vinvika [58]

<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was<u> projected upward from the surface</u>, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

$V=V_{o}-g.t$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the rock's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the rock's initial position

$V_{o}=30\frac{m}{s}$ is the rock's initial velocity

$V$ is the final velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=1.62\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon

As we know $y_{o}=0$ , equation (2) is rewritten as:

$y=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (3)

On the other hand, the maximum height is accomplished when $V=0$ :

$V=V_{o}-g.t=0$ (4)

$V_{o}-g.t=0$

$V_{o}=g.t$ (5)

Finding $t$ :

$t=\frac{V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

$y=V_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{g})+\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}}{g})^{2}$ (7)

$y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}$ (8) Now we can calculate the maximum height of the rock

$y_{max}=\frac{{(30m/s)}^{2}}{(2)(1.62m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Finally:

$y_{max}=277.777m$
