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

Suppose the value of one division of vernier scale is 0.5mm and the value of one main scale
gregori [183]

Answer:

-0.01 mm

Explanation:

We are given that

The value of one division of vernier scale =0.5 mm

The value of one main scale division=0.49 mm

We have to find the value of least count of the instrument in mm.

We know that

Leas count of vernier caliper=1 main scale division-1 vernier scale division

Least count of vernier caliper=0.49-0.50=-0.01 mm

Hence, the least count of the instrument=-0.01 mm

Answer: -0.01 mm

Assume a rectangular strip of a material with an electron density of n=5.8x1020 cm-3. The strip is 8 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick an
vampirchik [111]

Answer: I = 111.69 pA

Explanation: The hall effect is all about the fact that when a semiconductor is placed perpendicularly to a magnetic field, a voltage is generated which could be measured at right angle to the current path. This voltage is known as the hall voltage.

The hall voltage of a semiconductor sensor is given below as

V = I×B/qnd

Where V = hall voltage = 1.5mV =1.5/1000=0.0015V

I = current =?,

n= concentration of charge (electron density) = 5.8×10^20cm^-3 = 5.8×10^20/(100)³ = 5.8×10^14 m^-3

q = magnitude of an electronic charge=1.609×10^-19c

B = strength of magnetic field = 5T

d = thickness of sensor = 0.8mm = 0.0008m

By slotting in the parameters, we have that

0.0015 = I × 5/5.8×10^14 × 1.609×10^-19×0.0008

0.0015 = I×5/7.446×10^-8

I = (0.0015 × 7.446×10^-8)/5

I = 111.69*10^(-12)

I = 111.69 pA

Korolek [52]
The main (and only) purpose of the turbine in the turbo jet engine is to drive the air compressor. The turbojet engine works by compressing the air using an inlet and a compressor, then mixing the fuel with the compressed air, then passing the mixture to the combustor, then passing the high pressure air through a turbine and a nozzle.
