You stand on a merry-go-round which is spinning at f = 0:25 revolutions per second. You are R = 200 cm from the center. (a) Find

the angular speed ! At which it is spinning. (b) Find the centripetal acceleration, ac with which it is spinning. (c) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction is between your shoes and the floor that will keep you from slipping off?

Answer:

(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²

(c) μs = 0.5

Explanation:

(a)

The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:

ω = 2πf

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s

Therefore,

ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)

<u>ω = 1.57 rad/s </u>

(b)

The centripetal acceleration can be found as:

ac = v²/R

but,

v = Rω

Therefore,

ac = (Rω)²/R

ac = Rω²

therefore,

ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²

<u>ac = 4.92 m/s² </u>

(c)

In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

m*ac = μs*R = μs*W

m*ac = μs*mg

ac = μs*g

μs = ac/g

μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>μs = 0.5</u>

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>
