exert on the track

Answer:

$46620\ \text{N}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of roller coaster = 2000 kg

r = Radius of loop = 24 m

v = Velocity of roller coaster = 18 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Normal force at the point will be

$N-mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{2000\times 18^2}{24}+2000\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow N=46620\ \text{N}$

The force exerted on the track is $46620\ \text{N}$ .

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. in 6.00 s, it rotates 44.5 rad. du

Klio2033 [76]

a. The disk starts at rest, so its angular displacement at time $t$ is

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

It rotates 44.5 rad in this time, so we have

$44.5\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac\alpha2(6.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Since acceleration is constant, the average angular velocity is

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\omega_f}2$

where $\omega_f$ is the angular velocity achieved after 6.00 s. The velocity of the disk at time $t$ is

$\omega=\alpha t$

so we have

$\omega_f=\left(2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.00\,\mathrm s)=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

making the average velocity

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{14.8\frac{\rm rad}{\rm s}}2=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

Another way to find the average velocity is to compute it directly via

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{44.5\,\rm rad}{6.00\,\rm s}=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. We already found this using the first method in part (b),

$\omega=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. We already know

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

so this is just a matter of plugging in $t=12.0\,\mathrm s$ . We get

$\theta=179\,\mathrm{rad}$

Or to make things slightly more interesting, we could have taken the end of the first 6.00 s interval to be the start of the next 6.00 s interval, so that

$\theta=44.5\,\mathrm{rad}+\left(14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

Then for $t=6.00\,\rm s$ we would get the same $\theta=179\,\rm rad$ .

2000, the Millennium Bridge, a new footbridge over the River Thames in London, England, was opened to the public. However, after

sweet [91]

Answer:

n = 1810

A = 25 mm

Explanation:

Given:

Lateral force amplitude, F = 25 N

Frequency, f = 1 Hz

mass of the bridge, m = 2000 kg/m

Span, L = 144 m

Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 75 mm = 0.075 m

time, t = 6T

now,

Amplitude as a function of time is given as:

$A(t)=A_oe^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$

or amplitude for unforce oscillation

$\frac{A_o}{e}=A_oe^{\frac{-b(6T)}{2m}}$

or

$\frac{6bt}{2m}=1$

or

$b=\frac{m}{3T}$

Now, provided in the question Amplitude of the driven oscillation

$A=\frac{F_{max}}{\sqrt{(k-m\omega_d^2)+(b\omega_d^2)}}$

the value of the maximum amplitude is obtained $(k=m\omega_d^2)$

thus,

$A=\frac{F_{max}}{(b\omega_d}$

Now, for n people on the bridge

Fmax = nF

thus,

max amplitude

$0.075=\frac{nF}{((\frac{m}{3T})2\pi}$

or

n = 1810

hence, there were 1810 people on the bridge

b) $A=\frac{F_{max}}{(b\omega_d}$

since the effect of damping in the millenium bridge is 3 times

thus,

b=3b

therefore,

$A=\frac{F_{max}}{(3b\omega_d}$

or

$A=\frac{1}{(3}A_o$

or

$A=\frac{1}{(3}0.075$

or

A = 0.025 m = 25 mm

023 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points

Annette [7]

Answer:

Part 1

The angular speed is approximately 1.31947 rad/s

Part 2

The change in kinetic energy due to the movement is approximately 675.65 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The rotation rate of the merry-go-round, n = 0.21 rev/s

The mass of the man on the merry-go-round = 99 kg

The distance of the point the man stands from the axis of rotation = 2.8 m

Part 1

The angular speed, ω = 2·π·n = 2·π × 0.21 rev/s ≈ 1.31947 rad/s

The angular speed is constant through out the axis of rotation

Therefore, when the man walks to a point 0 m from the center, the angular speed ≈ 1.31947 rad/s

Part 2

Given that the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is constant, the change in kinetic energy, for a change from a radius of of the man from 2.8 m to 0 m, is given as follows;

$\Delta KE_{rotational} = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega ^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v ^2$

I = m·r²

Where;

m = The mass of the man alone = 99 kg

r = The distance of the point the man stands from the axis, r = 2.8 m

v = The tangential velocity = ω/r

ω ≈ 1.31947 rad/s

Therefore, we have;

I = 99 × 2.8² = 776.16 kg·m²

$\Delta KE_{rotational}$ = 1/2 × 776.16 kg·m² × (1.31947)² ≈ 675.65 J

A body of mass 25kg, moving at 3 ms per second on a rough horizontal floor brought to rest after sliding through a distance of 2

erastova [34]

You have to solve this by using the equations of motion:
u=3
v=0
s=2.5
a=?
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+5s
Giving a=-1.8m/s^2

Then using the equation:
F=ma
F is the frictional force as there is no other force acting and its negative as its in the opposite direction to the direction of motion.

-F=25(-1.8)
F=45N

Then use the formula:
F=uR
Where u is the coefficient of friction, R is the normal force and F is the frictional force.

45=u(25g)
45=u(25*10)

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.18

Hope that helps
