    Angular velocity of a ferris wheel

    So would it be... (37.4) (9.8) + (37.4) (.84)^2 (14) = 735.97 ?

    Free-body diagram to identify the forces acting on the car

    tan = V^2 / Rg ?? tan = (59)^2 / (56.5) (9.8) tan = .62867905 = .0109729727 ? that doesn't make sense

    Calculating Speed at Top of Vertical Circle

    So would it be the square root of the radius times gravity? = square root (0.478)(9.8) = 2.16 m/s^2 ??

    Calculating Speed at Top of Vertical Circle

    V min = Square root [(Ms)(g)(R)] =Square root (15.9)(0.478)(9.8) =Square root (74.48196) =8.63 m/s ?

    Angular velocity of a ferris wheel

    So for part 2... it should be uhm (11.71) (9.8) + (11.71) (.84)^2 (14) =230.43 N?

    Why Does an Airplane Pilot Experience Limits on Radial Acceleration?

    Sorry I meant 48.1 m/s not 4.8 m/s... So it would be: Fc = m (V^2/R) Fc = 94.1 [(48.1)^2 m/s / 31.9) Fc = 6824.78 N?

    Free-body diagram to identify the forces acting on the car

    Wait... M x g tan = m (V^2/g) g tan = V^2 / g 9.8 tan = [(16.2)^2 / 56.5] 9.8 tan = 4.644955752 (Do I just type it in as that? or do I need to divide by 9.8) I am trying to find the degree of the angle.

    Why Does an Airplane Pilot Experience Limits on Radial Acceleration?

    Is this right?? Speed = 48.1 m/s g = 9.8 m/s^2 Problem #1 7.39 g (9.8 m/s^2) = A A = 72.422 R = V^2 / A R = (48.1 m/s)^2 / 72.422 R = 31.94 Problem #2 F = mV^2 / R What's m?? F = (?)m x (4.8)^2 / 31.94

    Free-body diagram to identify the forces acting on the car

    Is this the right equation? Mg = 1.3 g = 9.8 m/s^2 Radius = 56.5 m Speed = 59km/hr m = 0 Mg Tan = mV^2/R 1.3 Mg Tan = 0 x (59)^2 / 56.5 But wouldn't that just make it zero?? I'm lost.

    Angular velocity of a ferris wheel

    This is a hard problem! :cry: Anyone know what my mistakes are?? ----- A passenger on the ferris wheel normally weighs 367 N. The ferris wheel has a 14 m radius and is equipped with a powerful motor. The operator revs it up so that the customers at the top of the wheel feel zero g's (they...

    Why Does an Airplane Pilot Experience Limits on Radial Acceleration?

    I tried workin this problem out.. and it's not working! :frown: --- An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 48.1 m/s. The 94.1 kg pilot does not want his radial acceleration to exceed 7:.39 g. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 1) What is the minimum radius...

    Free-body diagram to identify the forces acting on the car

    Where do I start? A curve of radius 56.5 m is banked so that a car traveling with uniform speed 59 km/hr can round the curve without relying on friction to keep it from slipping to its left or right. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 What is Q? Answer in units of degrees.

    Calculating Speed at Top of Vertical Circle

    I'm not sure what formula to use on this? A ball of mass 15.9 g is attached to a cord of length 0.478 m and rotates in a vertical circle. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 What is the minimum speed the ball must have at the top of the circle so the cord does not become slack...

    Why Do My Calculations on Frictionless Hill Physics Seem Incorrect?

    I tried working this problem- but it doesn't come out right.. any help? My answers are in blue. :cry: --- A child holds a sled on a frictionless, snowcovered hill, inclinded at an angle of 27 degrees. 1) If the sled weights 60 N, find the force exerted on the rope by the child. Answer...
