- A 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 skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 14 m in a parking lot. The total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 89 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is μs = 0.59 . What is the maximum speed, in meters per second, he can travel through the arc without slipping?arrow_forwardA skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 19 m in a parking lot. The total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 98 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is μs = 0.66. The maximum speed he can go without slipping is 11.09 m/s. He speeds up very slightly and begins to slide. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.11. What is the new magnitude of his radial acceleration in m/s2?arrow_forward
- One end of a string is wrapped several times around a pulley of mass 0.92 kgkg that is oriented vertically. The other end of the string is connected to a block of mass 0.35 kg, which is then slowly lowered until the string becomes taut. After which the person lets go of the block completely, thus allowing the block to descend and the pulley to rotate in unison. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block after the person has let go?arrow_forwardA child’s toy consists of a small wedge that has an acute angle of 34◦. The sloping side of the wedge is frictionless, and the wedge is spun at a constant speed by rotating a rod that is firmly attached to it at one end. When the mass of 41 g rises up the wedge a distance 46 cm and stays there, what is the speed of the mass? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .arrow_forwardA block of mass m₁ = 1.60 kg and a block of mass m₂ = 5.75 kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley in the shape of a solid disk having a mass of M = 10.0 kg.
