Answer:
The minumum speed the pail must have at its highest point if no water is to spill from it
= 2.64 m/s
Explanation:
Working with the forces acting on the water in the pail at any point.
The weight of water is always directed downwards.
The normal force exerted on the water by the pail is always directed towards the centre of the circle of the circular motion.
And the centripetal force, which keeps the system in its circular motion, is the net force as a result of those two previously mentioned force.
At the highest point of the motion, the top of the vertical circle, the weight and the normal force on the water are both directed downwards.
Net force = W + (normal force)
But the speed of this motion can be lowered enough to a point where the normal force becomes zero at the moment the pail reaches the highest point of its motion. Any speed lower than this value would result in the water spilling out of the pail. The water would not be able to resist the force of gravity.
At this point of minimum velocity,
Normal force = 0
Net force = W
Net force = centripetal force = (mv²/r)
W = mg
(mv²/r) = mg
r = 0.710 m
g = 9.8 m/s²
v² = gr = 9.8 × 0.71 = 6.958
v = √(6.958) = 2.64 m/s
Hope this Helps!!!
Answer:
(a): a = 0.4m/s²
(b): α = 8 radians/s²
Explanation:
First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):
a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t
a: linear acceleration.
Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.
Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).
d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m
d: distance of the ramp (5m).
We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:
d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s
And the linear acceleration will be:
a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²
Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:
perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m
To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:
α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²
α: angular aceleration.
