By definition, power is the amount of energy consumed (or produced) in a second. (or more precisely, it is the rate of change in energy).
so anything which uses energy in a known time period can be labeled with a power rating.
an example for power could be a nuclear plant; traditional nuclear plants produce somewhat close to 1 giga watts (which means 1 giga joules in a second)
Answer: 459.14 N
Explanation:
from the question, we have
diameter = 10 m
radius (r) = 5 m
weight (Fw) = 670 N
time (t) = 8 seconds
Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below
∑ F = F c = F w − Fn ..............equation 1
Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2
substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have
Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r
Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2) ..........equation 3
Fw (mass of the person) = mg
therefore m = Fw / g
m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg
now substituting our values into equation 3
Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)
Fn = 670 - 210.86
Fn = 459.14 N
