CP A large turntable with radius 6.00 m rotates about a fixed vertical axis, making one revolution in 8.00 s. The moment of inertia of the turntable about this axis is 1200 kg · m2. You stand, barefooted, at the rim of the turntable and very slowly walk toward the center, along a radial line painted on the surface of the turntable. Your mass is 70.0 kg. Since the radius of the turntable is large, it is a good approximation to treat yourself as a point mass. Assume that you can maintain your balance by adjusting the positions of your feet. You find that you can reach a point 3.00 m from the center of the turntable before your feet begin to slip. What is the coefficient of static friction between the bottoms of your feet and the surface of the turntable?

- A centrifuge used for training astronauts rotating at 0.810 rad/s is spun up to 1.81 rad/s with an angular acceleration of 0.050 rad/s2. a. What is the magnitude of the angular displacement that the centrifuge rotates through during this increase in speed? b. If the initial and final speeds of the centrifuge were tripled and the angular acceleration remained at 0.050 rad/s2, what would be the factor by which the result in part (a) would change?arrow_forwardA carnival ride tests your courage by putting you in a situation that would appear dangerous. A person with a mass of 75.3 kg steps into a cylindrical tube that has a radius of 4.1 m. The tube begins to rotate around its center axis. As the speed of rotation increases, the passenger feels pushed against the wall of the tube. When the tube is rotating rapidly, the floor drops out. Luckily, there is a coefficient of static friction between the passenger and the wall, which keeps them from falling. If the value of that coefficient is 0.501, then what is the minimum speed that the passenger must be moving at?arrow_forwardA large turntable rotates about a fixed vertical axis, making one revolution in 6.00 ss.
