11. “The Rotor”. The amusement park ride known as “the rotor”, essentially a large hollow cylinder, rotates rapidly about a central axis. Riders stand on the floor up against the wall of this ride before it begins to rotate. Once the ride starts, all riders, the wall, and floor begin to rotate rapidly and undergo uniform circular motion. When the rotation speeds reaches a certain value, the floors fall away and the riders are held pinned against the wall where...
The Gravitron is an amusement park ride in which riders stand against the inner wall of a large spinning steel cylinder. At some point, the floor of the Graviton drops out, instilling the fear in riders that they will fall a great height. However, the spinning motion of the Gravitron allows them to remain safely inside the ride. Most Gravitrons feature vertical walls, but the example shown in the figure has tapered walls of 25.7o. According to knowledgeable sources, the...
There is a classic amusement park ride where people stand with their backs pressed against the side of a large cylinder that will rotate around, moving faster and faster. Eventually, the cylinder is spinning fast enough that the floor can drop away and the force from the wall on the people is large enough to hold them up (so they do not slip downward on the wall, even when the floor drops away and their feet no longer are toughing...
In a popular amusement park ride, a rotating cylinder of radius 3 m is set in rotation as in the figure. The floor then drops away, leaving the riders suspended against the wall in a vertical position. (i) What force keeps the rider from slipping down without a floor? (ii) What force acts as the centripetal force in this situation? (iii) How many forces are acting on the rider? Name all of them.
A certain ride at an amusement park consists of a hollow cylinder that can rotate at high speeds. The floor can then be dropped with the people staying pinned to the sides of the cylinder. Terry the Mighty Iguana climbs inside the cylinder and the ride operator turns it on. The cylinder has a radius of 6 meters and a coefficient of friction between the cylinder wall and the Terry is u=0.67 a. how much friction is required to keep...
An amusement park ride consists of a rotating vertical cylinder with rough canvas walls. The floor is initially about halfway up the cylinder wall as shown. After the rider has entered and the cylinder is rotating sufficiently fast, the floor is dropped down, , yet the rider does not slide down. The rider has mass of 50 kg. The diameter of the cylinder is 6.5 meters. The coefficient of static friction between the rider and wall of the cylinder is...
1. In a popular amusement park ride, a cylinder of radius 3.0 meters is set in motion at an angular speed of 5.0 rad/s. The floor then drops away leaving the riders "stuck" to the wall in a vertical position. What minimum coefficient of friction between the riders clothing and wall of the cylinder is needed to keep the rider from slipping?
3. Rotor (6 points) The Rotor is an amusement park ride consisting of a large, vertical cylinder with radius R- 2.5 m. A rider stands on the inside wall, and the cylinder begins rotating. When the angular velocity is high enough, the floor is lowered but, due to static friction, the rider does not slide down the wall. Suppose the Rotor is spinning with an angular velocity of 4 rad/s. (a) (2 points) How much time does it take for...
An amusement park ride has a vertical cylinder with an inner radius of 4 m, which rotates about its vertical axis. Riders stand inside against the carpeted surface and rotate with the cylinder while it accelerates to its full angular velocity. At that point the floor drops away and friction between the riders and the cylinder prevents them from sliding downward. The coefficient of static friction between the riders and the cylinder is 0.91. What minimum angular velocity in radians/second...
Constants | Periodic Table Part A In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 5.1-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.64 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient...
