A mass m = 75 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 19.2 m and finally

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The velocity is 19.39 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass, m = 75 kg

Radius, R = 19.2 m

Now,

When the mass is at the top position in the loop, then the necessary centrifugal force is to keep the mass on the path is provided by the gravitational force acting downwards.

$F_{C} = F_{G}$

$\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = mg$

where

v = velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

$v = \sqrt{2gR} = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 19.2} = 19.39\ m/s$

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a speck of clay on the edge of a potter's wheel turning at 45 rpm (revolutions per

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$a_{cp}=7.77m/s^2$

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is $a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}$ .

We know the wheel turns at 45 rpm, which means 0.75 revolutions per second (dividing by 60), so our frequency is f=0.75Hz, which is the inverse of the period T.

Our velocity is the relation between the distance traveled and the time taken, so is the relation between the circumference $C=2\pi r$ and the period T, then we have:

$v=\frac{C}{T}=2\pi r f$

Putting all together:

$a_{cp}=\frac{(2\pi r f)^2}{r}=4 \pi^2f^2r=4 \pi^2(0.75Hz)^2(0.35m)=7.77m/s^2$
