A boulder that can be modeled as a sphere rolls down a hill without slipping. The radius of the boulder is 1 meter, the mass of the boulder is 200 kg. The boulder started from rest and rolls 100 meters down the surface of the hill which has a constant slope of 15 degrees. 1. What is the speed of the boulder just as it reaches the bottom of the hill?

There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 12.2 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 2.45 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall? Number Units #
6. a. You're driving over the top of a hill with a radius of 15.075 m. How fast would you need to drive over it to just bounce off your seat as you go over the top? Previous submissions: b. How fast would you need to drive over the top for the normal force of the seat pushing up on you to be half your weight? Previous submissions:
A light rod is 88 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a low-friction horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swing around in full circle. What minimum speed (m/s) at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
A circular track has several concentric rings where people can run at their leisure. Phil runs on the outermost track with radius rP while Annie runs on an inner track with radius rA = 0.70 rP. The runners start side by side, along a radial line, and run at the same speed in a counterclockwise direction. How many revolutions has Annie made when Annie's and Phil's velocity vectors point in opposite directions for the first time?
A 20 cm diameter circular saw blade spins at 3900 rpm. How fast would you have to push a straight hand saw to have the teeth move through the wood at the same rate as the circular saw teeth?
A satellite has an orbital radius 100 km above the Earth's surface. Earth has a mass pf 5.97x10^24kg and a radius of 6.38x10^6m. a. what is the speed of the satellite? b. How many minutes does it take the satellite to complete one orbit
A dirt bike is traveling at a constant speed v when it happens upon a circular hill of radius r = 410 m. The driver and dirt bike together have mass m = 136 kg. a.) What speed in m/s does the dirt bike have if the driver feels weightlessness (i.e., has an apparent weight of zero) at the top of the hill? b.) If the driver is traveling at the speed above and happens upon a hill with a radiues 2r, what is the apparent weight of both the driver and the dirt bike in Newtons at the top of the hill?
Hello, Can someone please show how to solve this problem? Thanks
a. To lift heavy bricks from the ground to a rooftop, the bricks are placed in a container that is attached to one end of a rope that wraps around a rod coupled to the shaft of a motor. When the motor runs, the buckets will rise. i. Calculate the diameter of the rod so that the bricks can be raised at a constant speed of 3.5 km/h when the motor is running at 490 revolutions per minute? ii. If the bricks are to have an upward acceleration of 0.65 m/s2, calculate the angular acceleration of the rod.
1. I am driving my 3500 pound weight car at 45 mph around a flat curve of radius 50 meters. If the us = 0.85, do I make it around the curve? (Y/N). It starts raining and the us drops to .65. Do I make it now? (Y/N). At that speed what is the kinetic energy of my car? Joules 2. Tom is doing a bucket lab with a mass of 5 kg of water. If he swings it 8 times around in 8 seconds and his arm is 0.8 meters long, what centripetal force is the bucket putting on his shoulder? Does the water fall on him? Newtons. _(Y/N). If he were on Mars (m-6.42*10^23 Kg, R=3397000 meters) would he get wet? 3. You are working on a pumped storage facility design. You have a pond on top of a hill. You approximate the pond as a cylinder with a diameter of 1500 feet and an average depth of 20 feet. The center of the pond is 300 feet above a river where you will let the pond full of water flow thru a turbine making electricity. What is the GPE of the pond? joules
Merry-go-rounds are a common ride in park playgrounds. The ride is a horizontal disk that rotates about a vertical axis at their center. A rider sits at the outer edge of the disk and holds onto a metal bar while someone pushes on the ride to make it rotate. Suppose that a typical time for one rotation is 6.0 ss and the diameter of the ride is 16 ftft . 1. For this typical time, what is the speed of the rider, in m/sm/s? Express your answer in meters per second. 2. What is the rider’s radial acceleration, in m/s2m/s2? Express your answer in meters per second squared. 3. What is the rider’s radial acceleration if the time for one rotation is halved? Express your answer in meters per second squared.
