Concept explainers
Questions 25 through 27 concern a classic figure-skating jump called the axel. A skater starts the jump moving forward as shown in Figure Q7.25, leaps into the air, and turns one-and-a-half revolutions before landing. The typical skater is in the air for about 0.5 s, and the skater’s hands are located about 0.8 m from the rotation axis.
27. What is the approximate speed of the skater’s hand?
A. 1 m/s
B. 3 m/s
C. 9 m/s
D. 15 m/s

- A frictionless rolling cart has an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s as it climbs up anincline of 24 degrees .a. What is the cart’s height above the ground when it monetarily comes to astop on the ramp?b. At that instant, how far has it travelled along the ramp?arrow_forwardAn automobile engine slows down from 3200 rpm to 1200 rpm in 2.0 s . A.Calculate its angular acceleration, assumed constant. B.Calculate the total number of revolutions the engine makes in this time.arrow_forwardShown is a graph of the motion of the blades of a blender that is starts empty and is initially turned off. Then the power is turned on at thehighest speed setting, some ice cubes are added, and the blades slow down. The blades are 3.0 cm long.a. When the blender is empty and running at high speed, how much time is required for a blade to turn by 90°?b. How many revolutions does a blade complete between 15 and 20 seconds?c. How fast is the tip of a blade moving when the blender is running empty?arrow_forward
- A Ferris wheel with radius R = 15.0 m is turning about a horizontal axis through its center. The linear speed of a passenger on the rim is constant and equal to 7.40 m/s. a. What is the magnitude of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the lowest point in her circular motion? b. What is the magnitude of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the highest point in her circular motion?arrow_forwardA centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 14000 rpm in 225 s. Part A Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Ө = U 26242 rad Ć ?arrow_forwardOn an otherwise straight stretch of road near Moffat, Colorado, the road suddenly turns. This bend in the road is a segment of a circle with radius 110 m. Drivers are cautioned to slow down to 40 mph as they navigate the curve.a. If you heed the sign and slow to 40 mph, what will be your acceleration going around the curve at this constant speed? Give your answer in m/s2 and in units of g.b. At what speed would your acceleration be double that at the recommended speed?arrow_forward
- A Ferris wheel with radius R = 15.0 m is turning about a horizontal axis through its center in the figure. The linear speed of a passenger on the rim is constant and equal to 7.40 m/s. a. What is the magnitude of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the lowest point in her circular motion? b. What is the direction of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the lowest point in her circular motion? c.arrow_forwardA cart that is rolling at a constant velocity on a level table fires a ball straight up out of a vertical tube. a. When the ball comes back down, will it land in front of the launching tube, behind the launching tube, or directly into the tube? Explain. b. Does your answer change if the cart is accelerating in the forward direction? If so, how?arrow_forwardA Ferris wheel has a radius of 42.4 feet. The bottom of the Ferris wheel sits 0.8 feet above the ground. You board the Ferris wheel at the 6 o'clock position and rotate counter- clockwise. a. Define a function, f that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the angle of rotation (measured in radians) you have swept out from the 6 o'clock position, a f(a)-42.4sin(a)+43.2 Preview b. Define a function, g, that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the number of feet you have rotated counter-clockwise from the 6 o'clock position, s. g(s)=43.2+42.2sin(s/42.4) Previewarrow_forward
- 3. a. Since we use friction to accelerate our cars around turrns, we can't take turns as fast in wet or snowy weather. What is the minimum radius turn you can make at a speed of 56.5 mph (25.2555 m/s) in dry weather with Us=0.75? Suppose the road is flat. 3.4361 Previous submissions: b. What is the minimum radius turn you can make at the same speed when it's snowing and us = 0.25? 10.3083 Previous submissions: m m incorrect incorrectarrow_forwardTwo spheres are launched horizontally from a 1.2 mm -high table. Sphere AA is launched with an initial speed of 4.5 m/sm/s . Sphere BB is launched with an initial speed of 2.5 m/sm/s . A. What is the time for the sphere AA to hit the floor? Express your answer using two significant figures. B. What is the time for the sphere BB to hit the floor? Express your answer using two significant figures.arrow_forwardAt a particular instant, a hot air balloon is 100 m in the air and descending at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s.
