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)

6. When adding vectors graphically, the direction and length of each vector must:
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Not be changed

Option: D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The physical quantity which has both ‘magnitude and direction’ is called vector. These vectors are represented by a line and an arrow, <em>the line represent the magnitude and arrow represent the direction of the physical quantity</em>. The vectors are added and subtracted according to the direction of the vectors.

According to the vector law addition while adding vectors direction and length of the vector is not be changed.<em> If the length of the vector changed the magnitude is also changed while so, while adding vectors length must not be changed. </em>

HOW FAR DOES A UNICYCLE TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 20 M/S FOR 15 SECONDS?​
astra-53 [7]

Given:-

  • Speed of the unicycle = 20 m/s
  • Time taken = 15 s

To Find: Distance travelled by the unicycle.

We know,

s = vt

where,

  • s = Distance travelled,
  • v = Speed &
  • t = Time taken.

Therefore,

s = (20 m/s)(15 s)

→ s = (20 m)(15)

→ s = 300 m (Ans.)

A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times he would need to climb a 14.0 m high flight of step
Liula [17]

Answer:

400 trips

Explanation:

Mechanical energy needed to climb 14 m by a man of 68 kg

= mgh

= 68 x 9.8 x 14

= 9330 J

1 Kg of fat releases 3.77 x 10⁷ J of energy

.45 kg of fat releases 1.6965 x 10⁷ J of energy

22% is converted into mechanical energy

so 22% of 1.6965 x 10⁷ J

= 3732.3 x 10³ J of mechanical energy will be available for mechanical work.

one trip of climbing of 14 m requires 9330 J of mechanical energy

no of such trip possible with given mechanical energy

= 3732.3 x 10³ / 9330

= 400 trips
