A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius, R = 5 m. Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain
horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates so that riders move at a constant speed, v = 5 m/s. Consider a rider whose mass, m =
70 kg.
Assume that the acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s₂.

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric energy. A large wind turbine has 45-m-radius blades. In typical conditions, 92,000 kg of air moves past the blades every second. If the air is moving at 12 m/s before it passes the blades and the wind turbine extracts 40% of this kinetic energy, how much energy is extracted every second?

The crane operator manages to give the ball a speed of 10.1 m/s as the ball passes through the lowest point of its swing and then gives the ball no further assistance. Friction and air resistance are negligible. What speed vf does the ball have when the cable makes an angle of 21.8° with respect to the vertical?

The crane operator manages to give the ball a speed of 13.5 m/s as the ball passes through the lowest point of its swing and then gives the ball no further assistance. Friction and air resistance are negligible. What speed vf does the ball have when the cable makes an angle of 14.5 ° with respect to the vertical? Vf Number i Unitsarrow_forwardA smooth block is set at the top of a smooth track. There is no friction between the block and track. We would like the block to make its way through the entire track, and so it must stay on the track as it goes through the circular loop section. The block starts at rest, and the Radius of curvature for the loop is 10 meters. Use g = 9.8 m/s?. What is the minimum starting height H for the block if it is to make it through the loop while still staying on the track? Hint: At the top of the loop the Normal force will be zero in this situation. This is because we want a starting height that will give us just enough speed at the top of the loop to follow the circular path, no more, no less. H=? Rarrow_forward
