A camival ride is designed to allow the general public to experience high acceleration motion. The ride rotates about Point Oin a horizontal circle such that the rider has a spoed vo. The rider recines on a platform A which rides on rolers such that friction is negligible. A mechanical stop prevents the platform from rolling down the incine. The carnival ride is modified so that 80 kg riders can move up and down the inclined wall as the speed...
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...
The Sidewinder is a shuttle type steel rollercoaster. The rollercoaster cart starts at the bottom of the frictionless track and is accelerated from a stand still over a distance of 7 meters. Then the cart enters the loop, rises to the top with just enough velocity to keep from stalling at the top of the loop. Gaining velocity the cart finishes the loop, bottoms out, and then rises up the vertical segment of the track. After stalling out at a...
Assignments KHW02 1D Motion with Variable Acceleration 7 of 7 Consider a one-dimensional acceleration that starts at zero at time zero, then increases to some maximum value, then decreases back to zero. Human pushing forces often create accelerations that fit this description; the pushing force is small when the hands of the human first make contact (assuming the fingertips touch first), large when the palms are flat against the object being pushed, and then small again as the fingertips are...
