- An athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev/s. The length of the pedal arms is 30 cm. What is the power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete?arrow_forwardDescribe the energy transformations involved when a yo-yo is thrown downward and then climbs back up string to be caught in the user' hand.arrow_forwardA bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire on the rear wheel. A friend spins the front wheel, of radius R, and observes that drops of water fly oil tangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the center of the wheel. She measures the height reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P10.74). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises a distance h1 above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises a distance h2 h1 above the tangent point. The height to which the drops rise decreases because the angular speed of the wheel decreases. From this information, determine the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel.arrow_forward

- A person wearing roller skates is standing in front of a wall. Assume that the wheels on the skates are good enough that they roll ideally. The person pushes off the wall and begins traveling away from the wall. Call the initial state when the person was standing at rest in front of the wall with her hand touching the wall. The final state is when she has traveled 2.9 m away from the wall and is moving at a constant speed of 0.73 m/s. For each system below, indicate that the energy of the system is or is not constant.

The sloping side of the wedge is frictionless, and an object of mass m on it remains at constant height if the wedge is spun at a certain constant speed. The wedge is spun by rotating, as an axis, a vertical rod that is firmly attached to the wedge at the bottom end. Show that, when the object sits at rest at a point at distance L up along the wedge, the speed of the object must beυ = (gL sin θ)1/2.arrow_forwardA 60 kg person, running quickly at 5.5 m/s sees a rope swing hanging from a high tree branch.They grab the rope and hang on. How high can the rope arc upward, as measured as the verticalchange in height of the person’s center of gravity? Does the length of the rope swing affect youranswer? Does the mass of the person affect your answer? Ignore the mass of the rope swing.Assume no non-conservative forces, such as air resistance.Hint: at peak height, the direction of the swing motion reverses and the velocity of theswing/person system is zero.arrow_forward
