- Velocity Task Introduction: The pedal of a bicycle is attached to a crank arm that revolves when the pedal is pushed by a person's foot. As the crank arm turns, it pulls a chain that is attached to the rear wheel of the bicycle, causing the bicycle to move forward. C 1 18 cm 16 cm A particular bicycle has wheels that are 66 cm in diameter. The radius of the crank arm is 18 cm. At its lowest point, the pedal is 16 cm'above the ground. A person is pedaling the bicycle such that the crank arm rotates once every second. Questions: 1. Write an equation that models the vertical position of the foot with respect to the ground, starting from the lowest point, as the crank arm turns. 2. What is the rate of change of the vertical position of the foot when it is at the midline? Explain your answer 3. How fast, in kilometres per hour, is the bicycle moving? 4. Determine an equation that would model the foot's position when the cyclist is traveling 5 km/h. Compare this equation to your equation…arrow_forwardTwo banked curves have the same radius. Curve A is banked at 11.4 °, and curve B is banked at an angle of 16.5 °. A car can travel around curve A without relying on friction at a speed of 19.2 m/s. At what speed can this car travel around curve B without relying on friction?

Determine the force of friction acting on the truck’s tires during the turn. Calculate the maximum speed with which the truck could have made this turn. Explain how driving across a patch of ice during the turn would reduce the truck’s ability to safely complete the turn.arrow_forward
- * Incorrect The driver of the truck has an acceleration of 0.48g as the truck passes over the top A of the hump in the road at constant speed. The radius of curvature of the road at the top of the hump is 113 m, and the center of mass G of the driver (considered a particle) is 2.5 m above the road. Calculate the speed v of the truck. 2.5 m Answer: v= i 24.27 A km/harrow_forwardA ceiling fan with 84-cm-diameter blades is turning at 60 rpm.

- You travel in a car of mass m and are about to make a curve on a track as shown in the attached figure, to reach your destination. When cornering, care must be taken so that the car does not skid and lose control of the vehicle. We assume friction between the vehicle's tires and the pavement. R- What are some factors that could harm you and prevent you from cornering in a good way? a) 1. Slow down when turning the curve. 2. That the radius of the curve is smaller. 3. Less friction of the vehicle's tires with the pavement. b) 1. Increase the speed when turning the curve. 2. That the radius of the curve is greater. 3. Less friction of the vehicle's tires with the pavement. c) 1. Increase speed when turning the curve. 2. That the radius of the curve is smaller. 3.
