Answer:
1. 75N
2. 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)
Explanation:
1. Work = Force x Distance
we are given that Work = 1,500J and Distance = 20m
hence,
Work = Force x Distance
1,500 = Force x 20
Force = 1,500 ÷ 20 = 75N
2. Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height
we are given that mass = 165 kg and change in height = 42m
assuming that gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²
Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height
Potential Energy, PE = 165 x 9.81 x 42 = 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)
Answer: 6067.5 N
Explanation:
Work = Change in Energy. To start, all of the energy is kinetic energy, so find the total KE using: KE = 1/2(m)(v^2). Plug in 1980 kg for m and 15.5 m/s for v and get KE = 237847.5 J.
Now, plug this in for work: Work = Force * Distance; so, divide work by distance to get 6067.5 N.

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>
