Answer:
v = 3.84 m/s
Explanation:
In order for the riders to stay pinned against the inside of the drum the frictional force on them must be equal to the centripetal force:
where,
v = minimum speed = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
r = radius = 10 m
μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15
Therefore,
<u>v = 3.84 m/s</u>
<span>The amount of heat energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance by </span>
<span> is given by:
</span>
<span>
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and </span><span> is the increase in temperature of the substance.
In this problem, we have a certain mass m of gold, with specific heat capacity </span>
<span>, to which we add Q=2825 J of energy. Its temperature increases by </span>
<span>. Therefore, if we re-arrange the previous equation, we can find the mass of the block of gold:
</span>
<span>
So, the correct answer is B.</span>
