A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially. She measures the heights reached by drops mov- ing vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn Figure P7.8 rises 51.0 cm above the tangent point. The radius of the wheel is 0.381 m. (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheel's angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant). Problems 8 and 69.

Merry-go-rounds are a common ride in park playgrounds. The ride is a horizontal disk that rotates about a vertical axis at their center. A rider sits at the outer edge of the disk and holds onto a metal bar while someone pushes on the ride to make it rotate. Suppose that a typical time for one rotation is 6.0 ss and the diameter of the ride is 16 ftft . 1. For this typical time, what is the speed of the rider, in m/sm/s? Express your answer in meters per second. 2. What is the rider’s radial acceleration, in m/s2m/s2? Express your answer in meters per second squared. 3. What is the rider’s radial acceleration if the time for one rotation is halved? Express your answer in meters per second squared.
