How much force would a 55kg person experience on a roller coaster if they travel through a loop with a radius of 55kg at a speed

of 14.1 m/s?

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

For a body moving in uniform circular motion, the force acting on it will be <em>centripetal force</em> and its direction is <em>radially inward</em> , pointing to the center.

The radially inward acceleration, or the centripetal acceleration is given by :

                                          a = v² / r

           where v is the speed at which the body is moving and r is the radius of the circle

Given-

m = 55kg

v = 14.1 m/s

r= 55m

We know that F = ma

⇒   F = m (  v²/ r )

⇒ F = 55 x 14.1 x 14.1 / 55

⇒ F =14.1 x 14.1 = 200 N

∴ <em>The force acting is 200 N</em>.

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m

Where are you most likely to build up enough static charge to receive a
FromTheMoon [43]

You're most likely to build up enough static charge to receive a  shock by walking around in a carpeted restaurant in the desert. (A)

Walking on carpet is the fastest way to accumulate charge, and the dry desert air prevents the charge from dribbling off of you and away.

When I walked on stones in the Sinai Desert, the dry wind with a little bit of sand or dust in it built up enough static charge on me that I got a shock every time I stood less than a foot away from my partner.

I had the same experience a few years later near Ouarzazate in the interior of Morocco.

When you hear people say "the desert is dry", they mean it's <em>DRY !  </em>
