Concept explainers
You operate a restaurant that has many large, circular tables. At the center of each table is a Lazy Susan that can turn to deliver salt, pepper, jam, hot sauce, bread, and other items to diners on the other side of the table. A fancy flower arrangement is located at the center of each Lazy Susan, and the turning of the flower arrangement is beautiful to you. Because of your interest in model trains, you decide to replace each Lazy Susan with a circular track on the table around which a model train will run. You can load the various condiments in the cars of the train and press a button to operate the train, causing the train to begin moving around the circle and deliver the load to your fellow diners! The train is of mass 1.96 kg and moves at a speed of 0.18 m/s relative to the track. After a few days, you realize that you miss the beautiful turning flower arrangements. So you come up with a new scheme. You return the Lazy Susan to the table and mount the circular track on the platform of the Lazy Susan, which has a friction-free axle at its center. The radius of the circular track is 40.0 cm (measured halfway between the rails) and the platform of the Lazy Susan is a uniform disk of mass 3.00 kg and radius 48.0 cm. You finally equip all of your tables with the new apparatus and open your restaurant. As a demonstration to the diners, you mount one salt shaker and one pepper shaker, having a mass of 0.100 kg each, onto a flatcar and push the button to deliver the condiments to the other side of the table! How long does it take to deliver the condiments to the exact opposite side of the table? Ignore the moment of inertia of the flower arrangement, since its mass is all close to the rotation axis.

- Case Study For each velocity listed, state the position and acceleration of the rubber disk in Crall and Whipples experiment (Figs. 16.316.5). There may be more than one possible answer for each given velocity. a. vy = 1.3 m/s b. vy = 1.3 m/s c. vy = 0arrow_forwardA. What is the object's average speed between ty = 0.5 s and tz = 8 s?

Read the graph to the nearest 1/2 m along the x-axis. 13 V = C1 m/s 10 t (8)arrow_forwardOver the holiday break you have an internship with an ice skating show. An ice skater will start from rest and slide down an ice-covered ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the skater will glide around an ice-covered loop which is the inside of a vertical circle before emerging out onto the skating rink floor. For a spectacular effect, the circular loop will have a diameter of 30 feet. Your task is to determine the minimum height from the rink floor to the top of the ramp for the skater to make it around the loop. When barely making it around, the skater briefly loses contact with the ice at the top of the loop.arrow_forward
- A youth of mass m = 22 kg is swinging on a swing. The length from the upper bar of the swing set to the seat is L = 4.2 m. The child is attempting to swing all the way around in a full circle. a. At what minimum speed, in meters per second, must the child be moving at the top of the circular path in order to make a full circle? b. Assuming the child is traveling at the speed found in part a, what is their apparent weight, Wa in newtons, at the top of their path (At the top, the child is upside down) c. If the velocity at the bottom is the same as the velocity at the top from part a, what is the child's apparent weight, in newtons, at the very bottom of the path?arrow_forwardA physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical copper balls with mass m = 0.180 g to threads of length L as shown in the figure. There are two strings in the figure. The top of each string is connected to the ceiling, and both strings are connected at the same point. The bottom of each string is connected to a spherical mass labeled m. Both strings have length L and hang at an angle of ? to the vertical, with the two strings on opposite sides of the vertical. Both balls have the same charge of 7.60 nC, and are in static equilibrium when ? = 4.75°. What is L (in m)? Assume the threads are massless. m (b) What If? The charge on both balls is increased until each thread makes an angle of ? = 9.50° with the vertical. If both balls have the same electric charge, what is the charge (in nC) on each ball in this case?arrow_forwardPlease don't reject. I'm still judging if I should take subscription or notarrow_forward

A particle of mass m slides without friction along a wire bent into the shape of a circular helix whose equation is z=a0, r=R, where r, 0, and z are the usual cylindrical coordinates, and a is a constant. The particle is attracted to the origin with a force equal to k times the distance from the origin. Write and solve the equation of motion, using the constrains to reduce the problem to one involving a single variable.arrow_forwardA clown is juggling four balls simultaneously. Students use a video tape to determine that it takes the clown 0.9 s to cycle each ball through his hands (including catching, transferring, and throwing) and to be ready to catch the next ball. What is the minimum vertical speed the clown must throw each ball upward with?arrow_forward
