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

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it

At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 29m/s from the top of a building
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.

Explanation:

This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

x=vo*t+\frac{1}{2} a*t^2\\where\\x=distance\\vo=initial velocity\\a=acceleration

So now we have an equation and unkown value.

for the thrown rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+29*t-300=0

for the dropped rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+0*t-300=0

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}

we have:

the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec

the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec

so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)
