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

A stuntman of mass 48 kg is to be launched horizontally out of a spring-
Damm [24]

The velocity of the stuntman, once he has left the cannon is 5 m/s.

The right option is O A. 5 m/s

The Kinetic energy of the stuntman is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

<h3 /><h3>Velocity: </h3>

This is the ratio of displacement to time. The S.I unit of Velocity is m/s.  The velocity of the stuntman can be calculated using the formula below.

⇒ Formula:

  • mv²/2 = ke²/2
  • mv² = ke².................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • m = mass of the stuntman
  • v = velocity of the stuntman
  • k = force constant of the spring
  • e = compression of the spring

⇒ Make v the subject of the equation

  • v = √(ke²/m)................. Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • m = 48 kg
  • k = 75 N/m
  • e = 4 m

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • v = √[(75×4²)/48]
  • v = √25
  • v = 5 m/s.

Hence, The velocity of the stuntman, once he has left the cannon is 5 m/s.

The right option is O A. 5 m/s

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.9-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stored energy in spring = 1/2 k x² , k is spring constant , x is compression.

= 1/2 x 8 x (5.7 x 10⁻²)²

= 129.96 x 10⁻⁴ J

Energy lost due to friction = force x distance

= .035 x .17

= .00595 J

Energy used in providing kinetic energy to projectile.  

129.96 x 10⁻⁴  - .00595

.012996 - .00595

= .007046 J

So

1/2 m v² = .007046

v² = .007046  x 2 / .0059

= 2.3885

v = 1.545 m /s

Responding to the environment by maintaining a stable internal environment despite changing external conditions is
Debora [2.8K]

Chinook salmon work to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions by the process called homeostasis. Homeostasis is important because salmon, like all living organisms, depend on the proper functioning of its cells to ensure its survival and the ability to reproduce.
