An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 8.03 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

nd of 3.76 m massless chains. When the system rotates, the chains make an angle of 28.6 ◦ with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 .
1. What is the speed of each seat?
2. If a child of mass 26.2 kg sits in a seat, what is the tension in the chain (for the same angle)?

Answer:

a) 5.57 m/s

b) 403 N

Explanation:

We will find the radius, r of the motion using the formula

r = radius of the platform + horizontal swing distance

r = diameter/2 + Lsinθ, where L is the length of the massless chain and θ is the displaced angle

r = 8.03/2 + 3.76 sin28.6

r = 4.015 + 1.8

r = 5.82 m

a) To get the speed, we use the formula

tanθ = v2/rg, if we make v subject of formula, we have

v = √(rgtanθ), where

v = speed of the seats

g = 9.8m/s²

v = √(5.82 * 9.8 * tan28.6)

v = √(5.82 * 9.8 * 0.545)

v = √31.08

v = 5.57 m/s

b) To find the tension, we use the formula

Tcosθ = mg, making T subject of formula, we have

T = mg/cosθ, where T = tension in the chain and m = 10 kg + 26.2 kg = 36.2 kg and θ = 28.6°

T = 36.2 * 9.8 / cos 28.6

T = 354.76 / 0.88

T = 403 N

The cylinder with piston locked in place is immersed in a mixture of ice and water and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium wi

lukranit [14]

Answer:

a. volume of gas: (decreases)

b. temperature of gas: (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.

8) Find the X and Y component of 10degree vector that has 5N.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Fx = 4.92 [N]

Fy = 0.868 [N]

Explanation:

Let's take the 10 degrees as a measure from the horizontal component to the vector.

Thus taking the components in the X & y axes respectively:

Fx = 5*cos(10) = 4.92 [N]

Fy = 5*sin(10) = 0.868 [N]

A typical electric refrigerator has a power rating of 500 Watts, which is the rate (J/s) at which electrical energy is supplied

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator is 300 watts.

Explanation:

By the First Law of Thermodynamics and the definition of a Refrigeration Cycle, we have the following formula to determine the rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator ( $\dot Q_{L}$ ), in watts:

$\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H}-\dot W$ (1)

Where:

$\dot Q_{H}$ - Rate of heat released to the room, in watts.

$\dot W$ - Rate of electric energy needed by the refrigerator, in watts.

If we know that $\dot Q_{H} = 800\,W$ and $\dot W = 500\,W$ , then the rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator is:

$\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H}-\dot W$

$\dot Q_{L} = 300\,W$

The rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator is 300 watts.
