A high-speed railway car goes around a flat, horizontal circle of radius 470mat a constant speed. The magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force of the car on a51.0kgpassenger are210Nand500N, respectively.

(a)What is the magnitude of the net force (of allthe forces) on the passenger?

(b) What is the speed of the car?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. F=210N.
  2. v=44.0鈥尘/蝉.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • The radius of the circle,R=470鈥尘.
  • The horizontal component of force,Fh=210鈥塏.
  • The vertical component of force,Fv=500鈥塏.
  • Mass of the passenger, m=51kg.
02

To understand the concept

The railway car is moving around the horizontal circle at a constant speed. Thus, the horizontal component of the force must supply the centripetal force, which is necessary for maintaining the circular motion.

Formula:

F=mv2R

03

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the net force

The upward force exerted by the car on the passenger is equal to the downward force of gravity(W=500N)on the passenger. So the net force does not have a vertical contribution; it only has the contribution from the horizontal force (which is necessary for maintaining the circular motion). Thus,

|Fnet|=F=210N

Thus, the magnitude of the net force on the passenger is 210 N.

04

(b) Calculate the speed of the car  

Centripetal force is given by,

F=mv2R

v=FRm

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

v=(210鈥塏)(470鈥尘)51.0鈥塳驳v=44.0鈥尘/蝉

Thus, the speed of the car is 44 m/s.

In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two skydivers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago. The stunt was great fun until the last skydiver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about0.5 km, and ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver鈥檚 viewpoint and from the pumpkin鈥檚 viewpoint, why did the skydiver lose control of the pumpkin?

In Fig. 6-33, two blocks are connected over a pulley. The mass of block A is10kg , and the coefficient of kinetic friction between A and the incline is 0.20 . Angle of the incline is 30 . Block A slides down the incline at constant speed. What is the mass of block B? Assume the connecting rope has negligible mass. (The pulley鈥檚 function is only to redirect the rope)

A 100 Nforce, directed at an angleabove a horizontal floor, is applied to a 25.0 kgchair sitting on the floor. If=0, what are (a) the horizontal componentFhof the applied force and (b) the magnitudeNof the normal force of the floor on the chair? If=30.0, what are (c)Fhand (d)FN? If=60.0, what are (e)Fhand (f)FN? Now assume that the coefficient of static friction betweenchair and floor is 0.420. Does the chair slide or remain at rest ifis (g)0, (h)30.0, and (i)60.0?
