Chapter 5: Q22P (page 118)
A customer sits in an amusement park ride in which the compartment is to be pulled downward in the negative direction of a yaxis with an acceleration magnitude of, with. A coin rests on the customer鈥檚 knee. Once the motion begins and in unit-vector notation, (a) what is the coin鈥檚 acceleration relative to the ground and (b) what is the coin鈥檚 acceleration relative to the customer? (c) How long does the coin take to reach the compartment ceiling,above the knee? In unit-vector notation, (d) what is the actual force on the coin and (e) what is the apparent force according to the customer鈥檚 measure of the coin鈥檚 acceleration?
Short Answer
- Acceleration of coin relative to the ground is.
- Acceleration of coin relative to the customer is.
- Time taken by coin to reach compartment ceiling is.
- Actual forces on the coin is.
- Apparent forces according to the costumer鈥檚 measure of the coin鈥檚 acceleration is .
