The previous part of the exercise says:
"<span>Engineers are designing a system by which a falling mass m imparts kinetic energy to a rotating uniform drum to which it is attached by thin, very light wire wrapped around the rim of the drum. There is no appreciable friction in the axle of the drum, and everything starts from rest. This system is being tested on Earth, but it is to be used on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 m/s². In the Earth tests, when m is set to 18.0 kg and allowed to fall through 5.50 m, it gives 300.0 J of kinetic energy to the drum."
Since Kearth = Kmars, we have, for conservation of energy, that also the potential energies must be equal:
Uearth = Umars
which means:
m </span>· gearth · hearth = m · gmars <span>· hmars
we can solve for hmars:
hmars = (gearth / gmars) </span>· hearth
= (9.8 / 3.71) · 5.50
= 14.53m
Therefore, the correct answer will be: the mass would have to fall from an height of 14.53m.
The triangle before the x means "change in x" which is: (finalx - initialx)
So if the interval is 1 sec to 3 sec, change in t would be 3-1=2 sec. The corresponding x-values are 30-10=20
change in x / change in t = (30-10)/(3-1) = 10 m/s
This force is centripetal force. it is the force that will hold the rider in the circular path and prevent him from skidding off. It is equal to the friction between the tyres and the road if no banking has been done on the road at the corner.
<span>Psychological researchers must debrief human test subjects </span><span>at the end of every experiment.
The current code of ethics in p</span>sychological research states that researchers absolutely must debrief human test subjects at the end of every study regardless or whether or not harm or deception was involved.
Debriefing a subject after a study is an essential opportunity for the researcher to explain the purpose and aim of the study to the subject, make sure the subject is not harmed or mentally disturbed, clarify why deception was used (if deception was involved) and overall, to clarify any questions or doubts the subject might have.
