Answer:

736.49 meters

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

mass m= 3400kg

speed= 170 m/s

At the top of the loop the pilot feels three times his normal weight

hence we multiply mass by 3 in our solution

Centrepetal force = mv^2/r-mg=3mg

Thereofore, (his true weight) + (the weight he feels) = mg + 3mg

so

mv^2/r=4mg

Step two:

centripetal force = mv^2/r=4mg

mv^2=4mgr

v^2=4gr

substitue

centripetal force

170^2 = 4*3400*9.81

so

170^2 = 4*9.81*r

28900 = 39.24*r

28900 =39.24*r

divide both sides by 39.24

r=28900 /39.24

r=736.49 meters

A raft is made of a plastic block with a density of 650 kg/m 3 , and its dimensions are 2.00 m Ã 3.00 m Ã 5.00 m. 1. what is the

cupoosta [38]

1) The volume of the raft is the product between the lenghts of its three dimensions:
$V = (2.00 m)(3.00m)(5.00m)=30 m^3$

2) The mass of the raft is the product between its density, d, and its volume, V:
$m=dV=(650 kg/m^3)(30 m^3)=19500 kg$

3) The weight of the raft is the product between its mass m and the gravitational acceleration, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ :
$W=mg=(19500 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1.91 \cdot 10^5 N$

4) The apparent weight is equal to the difference between the weight of the raft and the buoyancy (the weight of the displaced fluid):
$W_a = W- \rho_W V_{disp} g$
where $\rho _W = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the water density and $V_{disp}$ is the volume of displaced fluid.
The density of the raft ( $650 kg/m^3$ ) is smaller than the water density ( $1000 kg/m^3$ ), this means that initially the buoyancy (which has upward direction) is larger than the weight (downward direction) and so the raft is pushed upward, until it reaches a condition of equilibrium and it floats. At equilibrium, the weight and the buoyancy are equal and opposite in sign:
$W=B=\rho _W V_{disp} g$
and therefore, the apparent weight will be zero:
$W_a = W-B=W-W=0$

5) The buoyant force B is the weight of the displaced fluid, as said in step 4):
$B=\rho_W V_{disp} g$
When the raft is completely immersed in the water, the volume of fluid displaced $V_{disp}$ is equal to the volume of the raft, $V_{disp}=V$ . Therefore the buoyancy in this situation is
$B= \rho_W V g = (1000 kg/m^3)(30 m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)=2.94 \cdot 10^5 N$
However, as we said in point 4), the raft is pushed upward until it reaches equilibrium and it floats. At equilibrium, the buoyancy will be equal to the weight of the raft (because the raft is in equilibrium), so:
$B=W=1.91 \cdot 10^5 N$

6) At equilibrium, the mass of the displaced water is equal to the mass of the object. In fact, at equilibrium we have W=B, and this can be rewritten as
$mg = m_{disp} g$
where $m_{disp}= \rho_W V_{disp}$ is the mass of the displaced water. From the previous equation, we obtain that $m_{disp}=m=19500 kg$ .

7) Since we know that the mass of displaced water is equal to the mass of the raft, using the relationship $m=dV$ we can rewrite $m=m_{disp}$ as:
$d V =d_W V_{disp}$
and so
$V_{disp}= \frac{d V}{d_W}= \frac{(650 kg/m^3)(30m^3)}{1000kg/m^3}= 19.5 m^3$

8) The volume of water displaced is (point 7) $19.5 m^3$ . This volume is now "filled" with part of the volume of the raft, therefore $19.5 m^3$ is also the volume of the raft below the water level. We can calculate the fraction of raft's volume below water level, with respect to the total volume of the raft, $30 m^3$ :
$\frac{19.5 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100= 65 \%$
Viceversa, the volume of raft above the water level is $30 m^3-19.5 m^3 = 10.5 m^3$ . Therefore, the fraction of volume of the raft above water level is
$\frac{10.5 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100 = 35 \%$

9) Let's repeat steps 5-8 replacing $\rho _W$ , the water density, with $\rho_E=806 kg/m^3$ , the ethanol density.

9-5) The buoyant force is given by:
$B=\rho _E V_{disp} g = (806 kg/m^3)(30 m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)=2.37 \cdot 10^5 N$
when the raft is completely submerged. Then it goes upward until it reaches equilibrium and it floats: in this condition, B=W, so the buoyancy is equal to the weight of the raft.

9-6) Similarly as in point 6), the mass of the displaced ethanol is equal to the mass of the raft:
$m_E = m = 19500 kg$

9-7) Using the relationship $d= \frac{m}{V}$ , we can find the volume of displaced ethanol:
$V_E = \frac{m}{d_E} = \frac{19500 kg}{806 kg/m^3}=24.2 m^3$

9-8) The volume of raft below the ethanol level is equal to the volume of ethanol displaced: $24.2 m^3$ . Therefore, the fraction of raft's volume below the ethanol level is
$\frac{24.2 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100 = 81 \%$
Consequently, the raft's volume above the ethanol level is
$30 m^3 - 24.2 m^3 = 5.8 m^3$
and the fraction of volume above the ethanol level is
$\frac{5.8 m^3}{30 m^3}\cdot 100 = 19 \%$

<span>50 N The centripetal force upon an object is expressed as F = mv^2/r So let's substitute the known values and calculate F = mv^2/r F = 1.0 kg * (5.0 m/s)^2 / 0.5 m F = 1.0 kg * 25 m^2/s^2 / 0.5 m F = 25 kg*m^2/s^2 / 0.5 m F = 50 kg*m/s^2 F = 50 N So the answer is 50 N which matches one of the available choices.</span>

Denise is conducting a physics experiment to measure the acceleration of a falling object when it slows down and comes to a stop

anastassius [24]

To calculate the acceleration of the wooden block, we use the expression F=ma where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:

F = ma
4.9 = 0.5a
a = 9.8

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

On an amusement park ride, passengers are seated in a horizontal circle of radius 7.5 m. The seats begin from rest and are unifo

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying the definition of angular acceleration, as the rate of change of the angular acceleration, and as the seats begin from rest, we can get the value of the angular acceleration, as follows:

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

⇒ ωf = α*t ⇒ α = $\frac{wf}{t}$ = $\frac{1.4 rad/s}{21 s} = 0.067 rad/s2$

The angular velocity, and the linear speed, are related by the following expression:

v = ω*r

Applying the definition of linear acceleration (tangential acceleration in this case) and angular acceleration, we can find a similar relationship between the tangential and angular acceleration, as follows:

a = α*r⇒ a = 0.067 rad/sec²*7.5 m = 0.5 m/s²
