what equastion do you use to solve Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diame

ter 5.0 m. The room is spinning horizontally about an axis through its center at a rate of 60 rev/min when the floor drops so that it no longer provides any support for the riders. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rider required so that the rider does not slide down the wall?

Answer:

μsmín = 0.1

Explanation:

  • There are three external forces acting on the riders, two in the vertical direction that oppose each other, the force due to gravity (which we call weight) and the friction force.
  • This friction force has a maximum value, that can be written as follows:

       F_{frmax} = \mu_{s} *F_{n} (1)

       where  μs is the coefficient of static friction, and Fn is the normal force,

       perpendicular to the wall and aiming to the center of rotation.

  • This force is the only force acting in the horizontal direction, but, at the same time, is the force that keeps the riders rotating, which is the centripetal force.
  • This force has the following general expression:

       F_{c} =  m* \omega^{2} * r (2)

       where ω is the angular velocity of the riders, and r the distance to the

      center of rotation (the  radius of the circle), and m the mass of the

      riders.

      Since Fc is actually Fn, we can replace the right side of (2) in (1), as

      follows:

     F_{frmax} = m* \mu_{s} * \omega^{2} * r (3)

  • When the riders are on the verge of sliding down, this force must be equal to the weight Fg, so we can write the following equation:

       m* g = m* \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (4)

  • (The coefficient of static friction is the minimum possible, due to any value less than it would cause the riders to slide down)
  • Cancelling the masses on both sides of (4), we get:

       g = \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (5)

  • Prior to solve (5) we need to convert ω from rev/min to rad/sec, as follows:

      60 rev/min * \frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} *\frac{1min}{60 sec} =6.28 rad/sec (6)

  • Replacing by the givens in (5), we can solve for μsmín, as follows:

       \mu_{smin} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} *r}  = \frac{9.8m/s2}{(6.28rad/sec)^{2} *2.5 m} =0.1 (7)

A toroid with a square cross section 3.0 cm ✕ 3.0 cm has an inner radius of 25.1 cm. It is wound with 600 turns of wire, and it
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B = 1.353 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

The Magnetic field within a toroid is given by

B = μ₀ NI/2πr, where N is the number of turns of the wire, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current in each turn and r is the distance at which the magnetic field is to be determined from the center of the toroid.

To find r we need to add the inner radius and outer radius and divide the value by 2. Hence,

r = (a + b)/2, where a is the inner radius and b is the outer radius which can be found by adding the length of a square section to the inner radius.

b = 25.1 + 3 = 28.1 cm

a = 25.1 cm

r = (25.1 + 28.1)/2 = 26.6 cm = 0.266m

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 600 x 3/2π x 0.266

B = 1.353 x 10⁻³ T

The strength of the magnetic field at the center of the square cross section is 1.3 x 10⁻³ T

The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P
PolarNik [594]

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.  

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.
