An amusement park ride consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that a person inside is stuck

to the wall and does not slide down when the floor drops away. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Given g = 9.8 m/s 2 , the coefficient µ = 0.521 of static friction between a person and the wall, and the radius of the cylinder R = 4.4 m. For simplicity, neglect the person’s depth and assume he or she is just a physical point on the wall. The person’s speed is v = 2πR T where T is the rotation period of the cylinder (the time to complete a full circle). Find the maximum rotation period T of the cylinder which would prevent a 40 kg person from falling down. Answer in units of s.

Let N be the normal force that forces the person against the wall.

Then u N = m g  is the frictional force supporting the person's weight

and N = m g / u

also, N = m v^2 / R is the normal force providing the centripetal acceleration

So, m g / u = m v^2 / R

v^2 = g R / u

since v = 2 pi R T

4 pi^2 R^2 T^2 = g R / u     and T^2 = g / (4  u pi^2 R)

T = 1/ (2 pi)  (g /(u R))^1/2 = .159 * (9.8 m/s^2 / (.521 * 4.4 m)) ^1/2

T = .68 / s

Do you see any thing wrong here?

T should have units of seconds not 1 / seconds

v should be  2 * pi * R / T  where T is the time for 1 revolution

So you need to make that correction in the above formula for v.

Rzqust [24]
<span>A tri-fold brochure has two parallel folds, splitting the brochure into three sections. Even when printed on low-weight paper, tri-folds can stand up easily, which makes them a great choice for displaying at conventions. You can fold both folds inwards so that the left and right sections of the brochure sit on top of one another, or you can have one fold inwards and the other outwards, to create an accordion effect, which looks very attractive.</span>

The electron gun in a television tube is used to accelerate electrons with mass 9.109 × 10−31 kg from rest to 3 × 107 m/s within
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Electric field, E = 40608.75 N/C

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of electrons, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electrons, v=3\times 10^7\ m/s

Distance traveled, s = 6.3 cm = 0.063 m

Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron using third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2}{2\times 0.063}

a=7.14\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

Now we will find the electric field required in the tube as :

ma=qE

E=\dfrac{ma}{q}

E=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 7.14\times 10^{15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E = 40608.75 N/C

So, the electric field required in the tube is 40608.75 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.
