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

A 1500 W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120 V circuit that has a 20 A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai
Mila [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current drawn by electric heater = power/volt =1500/120 = 12.5 A.

current drawn by hair drier at 600 watt = 600/120 =5 A

current drawn by hair drier at 900 watt = 900/120 = 7.5 A.

Total current drawn by heater and hair drier used at 900 watt

= 12.5 + 7.5 = 20 A

Breaking current =20 A

So fuse will trip at this point .

What is the difference between real and apparent weightlessness?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)

The sales price of a product is $2 per unit; the variable cost is $1 per unit; and fixed costs total $1,000. how many units must
irakobra [83]

Answer:

<u><em>1000 units for breakeven</em></u>

Explanation:

Let x be the number of units sold at breakeven.

The total sales at the point would be $2x.

Variable costs would be $1x and fixed costs are $1000.

Total costs are = $1x + $1000

At breakeven: Sales = Costs

Sales =m Costs

$2x = $1x + $1000

$1x = $1000

x = 1000 units.

At 1000 units the sales are equal to the costs ("breakeven").
