M = 825kg R = 9m e = 75° D = 11m We're trying to design a roller coaster such that a cart with total mass m = 825kg with 4 wheels (m = 5.5kg, r = 0.25m) can safely pass through a loop of radius r = 9m. The cart must go down a ramp which makes an angle of 75 degrees then travel across a flat section before starting the loop. The wheels roll without slipping during this travel, and while there is no friction between the wheels and the track, there is friction inside the wheel itself. A constant friction force of 6N acts a distance of 8cm from the rotation point of the wheels. What is the minimum height, h, that we can start the cart at to safely make it through the loop? You can approximate the wheels as uniform rings.

A bowling ball of radius 8.5 cm is tossed onto a bowling lane with speed 9.0 m/s. The direction of the toss is to the left, as viewed by the observer, so the bowing ball starts to rotate counterclockwise when in contact with the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the lane is 0.3. (a) What is the time required for the ball to come to the point where It is no slipping? What is the distance d to the point where the ball is rolling without slipping?

A wind turbine on a wind farm turns in response to a force of high-speed air resistance, R=0.5DρAυ2. The power available is P=Rυ=0.5Dρπr2υ3., where .υ is the wind speed and we have assumed a circular face for the wind turbine of radius r. Take the drag coefficient as D=1.0 and the density of air from the front endpaper . For a wind turbine having r=1.5 m, calculate the power available with (a) υ=8.0 m/s and (b) υ=24.0 m/s. Find also the power delivered to the generator that is limited by the efficiency of the system, about 25%. For comparison, a large American home uses about 2 kW of electric power.

PLEASE SOME ANSWER THIS ASAP AND SHOW ALL THE WORK PLS A merry-go-round in a playground (spinning horizontal disk) of mass M and radius R is initially rotating inthe x/y plane at a constantω0around a fixed vertical axis through the middle of the disk. A girl of mass m runstowards italong a path that is tangent to the rim and then jumps on the rim and holds on. The disk spinsfasterafter she jumps on. Treat the girl as a point mass.a) Choose one: Which of the following is conserved for the disk+girl system before and after she jumps on? (i) mechanical energy, ii) angular momentum, iii) linear momentum. iv) 2 or more of the above. b) Draw an overhead sketch of the disk with the disk rotating such that ω0 is in the +z direction (out). Show thevelocity vector of thegirl right before she jumps on. Solve for the necessary speed v that she must have in order for the disk to tripleits angular velocity after she jumps on. Your expression should depend on ω0, m, M, andR. Simplify it as much as…

At amusement parks, there is a popular ride where the floor of a rotating cylindrical room falls away, leaving the backs of the riders “plastered” against the wall. Suppose the radius of the room is 2.418 m and the coefficient of friction between the rider and the wall is 0.42, what is the minimum the safe speed of the wall for the rider not to drop when the floor falls away. Use g=9.8 m/s2.
