A fairground ride consists of a large vertical drum that spins so

Physics

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:

Centripetal\ Force = Frictional\ Force\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu R = \mu W\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu mg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = \mu g\\\\v = \sqrt{\mu gr}

where,

v = minimum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = radius = 10 m

μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{(0.15)(9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ m)}

<u>v = 3.84 m/s</u>

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts
expeople1 [14]

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts moving the ball moves toward the back of the train. This happened due to inertia

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion unless a net external force acts on it .  

When a train starts moving forward, the ball placed on the floor  tends to fall backward is an example of inertia of rest. Due to the reason that the lower part of the ball is in contact with the surface and rest of the part is not . As the train starts moving, its lower part gets the motion as the floor starts moving but the upper part will remain as it is as it is not in contact with the floor , hence do not attain any motion due to the inertia of rest simultaneously i.e. it tends to remain at the same place.

What is the force holding you down?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The force holding you down is gravity.

Explanation:

Gravity is a force between two objects with mass. It pulls things together. You have mass, and the Earth has mass, so gravity tries to pull you and the Earth together. The gravitational force is much bigger for more massive objects.

What is the mass of a 100-N crate of delicious candy
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

weight ( w ) = 100 N

mass (m) = ?

WE know

g = 10 m/s²

w = m * g

or

m = w / g

m = 100 / 10

m = 10 kg

hope it will help :)

What is the difference between acceleration due to gravity and gravitational force?​
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Gravity.” or “Gravity causes the moon to orbit the earth.” “Acceleration due to gravity” is much more precise. It is the acceleration that an object experiences when it is dropped with no other external forces on it. ... Near the surface of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8
