Carnivals often have large rotating cylinders and when these cylinders rotate fast enough the people inside feel pressed up against the wall and do not fall if the floor moves out from under them. While the cylinder is rotating, what forces are acting on a person inside and what is the direction of those forces?

You have a horizontal grindstone (a disk) that is 95 kg, has a 0.36 m radius, is turning at 86 rpm (in the positive direction), and you press a steel axe against the edge with a force of 24 N in the radial direction. 1)Assuming that the kinetic coefficient of friction between steel and stone is 0.20, calculate the angular acceleration of the grindstone in rad/s2. 2)What is the number of turns, N, that the stone will make before coming to rest?

7. A space station of radius 90 m is rotating to simulate a gravitational field. कैम्प 90 m & d a) What is the period of the space station's rotation so that a 70 kg astronaut will experience a normal force by the outer wall equal to 60% of his weight on the surface of the earth? b) What would be the effect experienced by the astronaut if the space station rotated faster so that the period of rotation was decreased? Explain your predicted effect.

You and your friends decide to have a contest to see who can spin someone in a desk chair the fastest. Both chairs are identical. Jared sits in the chair with his legs sticking straight out. Carmen sits in the chair cross-legged. Which team is most likely to win? Explain your reasoning.
A student places a coin on a flat disk. The flat disk is allowed to rotate around an axis through its center. The angular velocity of the flat disk gradually increases. The coin initially rotates with the disk but eventually slides off the disk. Which of the following is the best explanation for the coin's behavior? The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration
