Chapter 6: Q6.1-1PE (page 221)

Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it contains gears to count the number of wheel revolutions鈥攊t then calculates the distance travelled. If the wheel has a 1.15 m diameter and goes through 200,000 rotations, how many kilometres should the odometer read?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The odometer should read722.6 km.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • The diameter of the wheel is d=1.15m.
  • The number of rotations is 200,000
02

Definition of linear distance

Linear distance is the distance covered straight from a point to the concerned point.

03

Calculation of the linear distance

We know that linear distance = angular distance times radius.

Now,

胃=200,000脳2蟺=1.2脳106鈥剅补诲颈补苍r=d2=1.152=0.575鈥刴

Thus,

s=1.2脳106脳0.575=722566.3鈥�m=722.6鈥刱尘

Therefore, the odometer should read722.6 km.

What is the direction of the force exerted by the car on the passenger as the car goes over the top of the amusement ride under the following circumstances: (a) the car goes over the top at such a speed that the gravitational force is the only force acting? (b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed? (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at Earth due to the Sun. (c) Take the ratio of the Moon鈥檚 acceleration to the Sun鈥檚 and comment on why the tides are predominantly due to the Moon in spite of this number.

Suppose a child is riding on a merry-go-round at a distance about halfway between its center and edge. She has a lunch box resting on wax paper, so that there is very little friction between it and the merry-go-round. Which path shown in Figure will the lunch box take when she lets go? The lunch box leaves a trail in the dust on the merry-go-round. Is that trail straight, curved to the left, or curved to the right? Explain your answer.

An automobile with 0.260 m radius tires travels80,000km before wearing them out. How many revolutions do the tires make, neglecting any backing up and any change in radius due to wear?

A large centrifuge, like the one shown in Figure (a), is used to expose aspiring astronauts to accelerations similar to those experienced in rocket launches and atmospheric re-entries. (a) At what angular velocity is the centripetal acceleration \(10g\) if the rider is \(15.0{\rm{ m}}\) from the centre of rotation? (b) The rider鈥檚 cage hangs on a pivot at the end of the arm, allowing it to swing outward during rotation as shown in Figure (b). At what angle \(\theta \) below the horizontal will the cage hang when the centripetal acceleration is \(10g\)? (Hint: The arm supplies centripetal force and supports the weight of the cage. Draw a free body diagram of the forces to see what the angle \(\theta \) should be.)
