- I need to find how far from the end of the ramp does the skateboard touch down?arrow_forwardA person stands, hands at his side, on a platform that is rotating at a 0.9 rev/s. If he raises his arms to a horizontal position, the speed decreases to 0.70 rev/s. a. Why? b. By what factor has his moment of inertia changed?arrow_forwardHi, I am in physics I and they have the question of what is the angular displacement between 5s and 15s. At 15s, there is an angle of 50. But at 15 seconds, the angle is between 50 to 75. I have attached the picture of the graph. I understand that the angular displacement requires subtracting the final and initial angle and time from each other. But I really need to know which the angle is for 15s.arrow_forward
- Pool players often pride themselves on their ability to impart a large speed to a pool ball. In the sport of billiards, event organizers often remove one of the rails on a pool table to allow players to measure the speed of their break shots (the opening shot of a game in which the player strikes a ball with his pool cue). With the rail removed, a ball can fly off the table, as shown in the figure. d The surface of the pool table is h 0.830 m from the floor. The winner of the competition wants to know if he has broken the world speed record for the break shot of 32 mph (about 14.3 m/s). If the winner's ball landeda distance of d 4.35 m from the table's edge, calculate the speed of his break shot v Assume friction is negligible. m/s At what speed v1 did his pool ball hit the ground? m/s V1=arrow_forwardHi.

- A disk rotates freely on a vertical axis with an angular velocity of 30 rpm. An identical disk rotates above it in the same direction about the same axis, but without touching the lower disk, at 20 rpm. The upper disk then drops onto the lower disk. After a short time, because of friction, they rotate together. The final angular velocity of the disks isA. 50 rpmB. 40 rpmC. 25 rpmD. 20 rpmE. 10 rpmarrow_forwardQC A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other A wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tan- gentially. She measures the heights reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the Figure P7.8 Problems 8 and 69. tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises 51.0 cm above the tan- gent 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).arrow_forwardKendra boards a Ferris wheel at the 3-o'clock position and rides the Ferris wheel for one full rotation.

- In 2010, the Sikorsky's X2 helicopter became the world's fastest helicopter, flying at 249 miles per hour. When flying over 230 mph, the rotor speed is reduced from 446 to 360 RPM to keep tip speed below Mach 0.9. If each one of the six rotor blades is about 4.02 m long, how fast is the blade tip actually moving when the rotational speed is 360 RPM?arrow_forwardTwo bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 0.80 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 38 rpm. The coefficient of friction between the bugs and the disk are us = 0.80 and uk = 0.60. What is the magnitude of the friction force on Buzz, in Newtons? Buzz has a mass of 2.0 kg (I know, a big bug!). Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Crunchyarrow_forwardA particle moves 3.0 m along a circle of radius 1.5 m. (a) Through what angle does it rotate?
