Transcribed Image Text: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?

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 accelerationarrow_forward

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.arrow_forwardPlease help: A 2.90 kg bucket is attached to a disk-shaped pulley of radius 0.131 m and mass 0.792 kg.
