You operate a restaurant that has many large, circular tables. At the center of each table is a Lazy Susan that can turn to deliver salt, pepper, jam, hot sauce, bread, and other items to diners on the other side of the table. A fancy flower arrangement is located at the center of each Lazy Susan, and the turning of the flower arrangement is beautiful to you. Because of your interest in model trains, you decide to replace each Lazy Susan with a circular track on the table around which a model train will run. You can load the various condiments in the cars of the train and press a button to operate the train, causing the train to begin moving around the circle and deliver the load to your fellow diners! The train is of mass 1.96 kg and moves at a speed of 0.18 m/s relative to the track. After a few days, you realize that you miss the beautiful turning flower arrangements. So you come up with a new scheme. You return the Lazy Susan to the table and mount the circular track on the platform of the Lazy Susan, which has a friction-free axle at its center. The radius of the circular track is 40.0 cm (measured halfway between the rails) and the platform of the Lazy Susan is a uniform disk of mass 3.00 kg and radius 48.0 cm. You finally equip all of your tables with the new apparatus and open your restaurant. As a demonstration to the diners, you mount one salt shaker and one pepper shaker, having a mass of 0.100 kg each, onto a flatcar and push the button to deliver the condiments to the other side of the table! How long does it take to deliver the condiments to the exact opposite side of the table? Ignore the moment of inertia of the flower arrangement, since its mass is all close to the rotation axis.

- An interesting story is often told of baseball star Johnny Bench when he was a rookie catcher in 1968. During a Spring Training game, he kept signaling to star pitcher Jim Maloney to throw a curve ball. Maloney continuously shook off Bench's signal, opting to throw fastballs instead. The rookie catcher walked to the mound and told the veteran Maloney that his fastball wasn't fast enough and that he should throw some curve balls. Bench again signaled for a curve. Maloney shook of the signal and threw a fastball. Before the ball reached the plate, Bench took off his glove; he then caught the pitch barehanded. a. Determine the impulse required to stop a 0.145-kg baseball moving at 35.7 m/s (80.0 mi/hr).b. If this impulse is delivered to the ball in 0.020 seconds, then what is magnitude of the force acting between the bare hand and the ball?arrow_forwardNT51-QRT104: TWO OBJECTS— GRAVITATIONAL FORCE ON EACH The drawing to the right shows an object (labeled B) that has mass m.

- Over the holiday break you have an internship with an ice skating show. An ice skater will start from rest and slide down an ice-covered ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the skater will glide around an ice-covered loop which is the inside of a vertical circle before emerging out onto the skating rink floor. For a spectacular effect, the circular loop will have a diameter of 30 feet. Your task is to determine the minimum height from the rink floor to the top of the ramp for the skater to make it around the loop. When barely making it around, the skater briefly loses contact with the ice at the top of the loop.arrow_forwardOnce the zip line has been completed, you walk up a path that takes you to an outcropping. A short bridge leads you to a scenic platform overhanging a drop. As soon as everyone in your group has gotten on the platform, your guide closes a gate and pushes a switch. You realize that the platform is attached to a pivot by a 10 m arm. The platform (12 m × 12 m) swings around to land against another landing 200° around the circle from your initial position. The swing takes 1 minute. Take the swing as travelling clockwise relative to the viewer. a) What is the average angular velocity of the platform? b. What is the distance travelled by a person in the middle of the platform during the swing? c. What is the difference between the tangential velocity of a person standing closest to the outer edge of the platform compared to that of the person standing closest to the pivot? d.
