Riders in an amusement park ride shaped like a Viking ship hung from a large pivot are rotated back and forth like a rigid pendu

lum. At each end of the swing the ship hangs motionless for a moment before the ship swings down under the influence of gravity. Assume that this motionless point occurs when the bar connecting the pivot point and the ship is horizontal.
Required:
a. Assuming negligible friction, find the speed of the riders at the bottom of its arc, given the system's center of mass travels in an arc having a radius of 14.0 m and the riders are near the center of mass.
b. What is the centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the arc?
c. Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting on a rider at the bottom of the arc.
d. Find the force exerted by the ride on a 60.0 kg rider and compare it to her weight.
e. Discuss whether the answer seems reasonable.

Answer:

a)  v = 16.57 m / s, b)  a = 19.6 m / s², d)    N = 1.76 10³ N,     N / W = 3

Explanation:

This exercise looks interesting, but I think you have some problem with the writing, the questions seem a bit disconnected from the initial text.

Let's answer the questions.

a) For this part we can use energy considerations.

Starting point. The upper part of the trajectory indicates that the arm is horizontally

          Em₀ = U = m g h

in this case h = r

Final point. For lower of the trajectory

          Em_f = K = ½ m v²

as they indicate that there is no friction

         Em₀ = em_f

         mgh = ½ m v²

         v = \sqrt{2gh}

let's calculate

        v = \sqrt{2 \ 9.8 \ 14.0}

         v = 16.57 m / s

b) the centripetal acceleration has the formula

           a = v² / r

           a = 16.57² / 14.0

           a = 19.6 m / s²

c) see attached where the diagram is

where N is the normal and w the weight

d) let's use Newton's second law

               N-W = m a

               N - mg = m ar

               N = m (g + a)

let's calculate

               N = 60.0 (9.8 + 19.6)

               N = 1.76 10³ N

the relationship with weight is

              N / W = 1.76 10³/( 60 9.8)

              N / W = 3

normal is three times greater than body weight

e) the answer is reasonable since by Newton's first law the body must continue in a straight line, therefore to change its trajectory a force must be applied to deflect it

Which one of the following indicates a drop in temperature?
Nitella [24]
Answer: <span>D. A bimetallic strip bends so that the steel is on the outside curve
</span>
When something has an increased temperature, its volume will expand. Then, if the temperature drops, its volume should be smaller. From there option A and B are out since the liquid in thermometer is expand or move up.

When you put two kinds of different metal with a different coefficient of thermal expansion, the outer curve metal will be the one with lesser coefficient when temperature drop. Since the question about drop in temperature then the metal should be bend
Brass will expand 1.5 times more than the steel so the outer curve would be the steel.
