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.

Suppose you were digging a well into saturated sediments. Why is the sediment’s permeability an important factor in deciding whe
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Explanation:

When digging a well into saturated sediments, the possibility of the sediment with either little saturation or full saturation being able to provide steady water supply will be limited by how permeable it is. Now, the importance of the sediments permeability is that if it is permeable, water will flow easily through the sediment and thereby produce a very good supply of water for the well.

Two hockey pucks with mass 0.1 kg slide across the ice and collide. Before
RideAnS [48]

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.
