An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 11.1 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

nd of 2.41 m massless chains. When the system rotates, the chains make an angle of 14.5 ◦ with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . θ l d What is the speed of each seat? Answer in units of m/s.

To solve this problem we will use the relationship given between the centripetal Force and the Force caused by the weight, with respect to the horizontal and vertical components of the total tension given.

The tension in the vertical plane will be equivalent to the centripetal force therefore

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

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

r = Radius

The tension in the horizontal plane will be subject to the action of the weight, therefore

Tcos\theta = mg

Matching both expressions with respect to the tension we will have to

T = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta}

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

Then we have that,

\frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta} =  \frac{mg}{cos\theta}

\frac{mv^2}{r} = mg tan\theta

Rearranging to find the velocity we have that

v = \sqrt{grTan\theta}

The value of the angle is 14.5°, the acceleration  (g) is 9.8m/s^2 and the radius is

r = \frac{\text{diameter of rotational circular platform}}{2} + \text{length of chains}

r = \frac{11.1}{2}+2.41

r = 7.96m

Replacing we have that

v = \sqrt{(9.8)(7.96)tan(14.5\°)}

v = 4.492m/s

Therefore the speed of each seat is 4.492m/s

The density of mobile electrons in copper metal is 8.4 × 1028 m-3. Suppose that i= 4.4 × 1018 electrons/s are drifting through a
neonofarm [45]

Answer: 405.3 minutes

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following:

Fisrtly we calculate the volume of the wire, this is given by:

Vwire=π*r^2*L where r and L are the radius and L the length of teh wire, respectively.

Vwire=π*1.25*10^-3*0.26=1.27*10^-6 m^3

then the number of the total electrons in tthe wire volume is given by;

n° electrons in the wire=ρ*Vwire=8.4*10^28*1.27*10^-6 m^3=1.07 *10^23

Finally, considering the current in the wire equal to 4.4*10^18 electrons/s

the time consuming to extract all the electrons from the wire is given by:

t= total electrons in the wire/ current=1.067*10^23/4.4*10^18=24,318 s

equivalent to 405.3 minutes
