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

<u>Augmented reality</u> has the potential to superimpose digital data over real photos so that GPS maps can be combined with real pictures of stores and streets to help people locate their position.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An engaging perception of an original globe atmosphere, where by computer-generated perceptual knowledge the transformation of real-world entities take place and also by multiple sensory modalities, involving somatosensory, visual, auditory, haptic and olfactory forms, thus known as augmented reality.

AR app uses GPS and camera from a smartphone to deploy an augmented reality-enabled GPS navigation system. As in the web, AR tool termed as Real View Navigation is accessible to all Android and iOS clients. Google is brought its first virtual reality walking directions, now recognized as Live Experience on Google Maps.

Estimate the smallest possible period of a satellite in a circular orbit around earth. (mass and radius of earth is 5.98 x 1024
myrzilka [38]
Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour

To visit your favorite ice cream shop, you must travel 490 m west on Main Street and then 920 m south on Division Street. Suppos
topjm [15]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of your average velocity during the 121 s is 8.61 m/s.

b) The direction of the average velocity is 61.9° south of west.

c) Your average speed during the trip is 11.7 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The average velocity (a.v) is calculated as the displacement divided by the time it took to do such a displacement.

The displacement is calculated as the distance between the initial position and the final position:

Displacement = Δ(x,y) = final position - initial position

Let's consider that your initial position is the origin of our frame of reference and let's also consider that west and south are positive directions (+x and +y respectively). Then the displacement vector will be:

Δ(x,y) = final positon - initial position

Δ(x,y) = (490, 920) m - (0, 0) m = (490, 920) m

The average velocity will be:

a.v = Δ(x,y) / t

a.v = (490, 920) m / 121 s

a.v = (4.05, 7.60) m/s

The magnitude of the average velocity is calculated as follows:

 

The magnitude of your average velocity during the 121 s is 8.61 m/s.

b) To find the direction of the average velocity, we have to use trigonometric rules of right triangles. Notice that the x and y-components of the average velocity (vx and vy) together with the average velocity vector (v), with magnitude 8.61 m/s, form a triangle (see figure).

Also, notice that v is the hypotenuse of the triangle and that vx is the side adjacent to the angle θ while vy is the side opposite to θ.

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the value of the angle θ:

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos θ = vx / v

cos θ = 4.05 m/s / 8.61 m/s

θ = 61.9°

The direction of the average velocity is 61.9° south of west.

c) The average speed (a.s) is calculated as the traveled distance (d) divided by the time it took to cover that distance (t). In total, you traveled (490 m + 920 m) 1410 m in 121 s, then the average speed will be:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 1410 m / 121 s

a.s = 11.7 m/s

Your average speed during the trip is 11.7 m/s
