A small fluffy stuffed animal was accidentally left on a merry-go-round. The stuffed animal is a distance 4.7 m from the center of the ride. Suddenly, the operator turns on the ride and it quickly begins spinning at 6.13666568105649 s per revolution. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the animal and the ride to prevent it from slipping?

Answer #1

Given that:

Radius r = 4.7 m

Time per revolution T = 6.13666568105649 sec

Mass of the stuffed animal = m

coefficient of static friction =

Angular speed =

At a playground, a 17-kg child sits on a spinning merry-go-round, as shown from above in (Figure 1).The merry-go-round completes one revolution every 6.2 s, and the child sits at a radius of r=1.8m. Part A What is the force of static friction acting on the child? Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units. Part B What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the child and the merry-go-round to keep the child from slipping?

Billy (mass = 50 kg) stands on the edge of a merry-go-round, which is a disc with a radius R = 2.0 m and a mass M = 100 kg. Annie begins spinning the merry-go-round (and Billy) by pushing on it with a force of 20 N tangent to its edge for 20 s. (a) What are (i) the torque Annie imparts on the merry-go-round (with Billy on it) and (ii) the resulting angular acceleration during the 20 second interval?...

1) You wish to accelerate a small merry-go-round from rest to a rotational speed of one-fourth of a revolution per second by pushing tangentially on it. Assume the merry-go-round is a disk with a mass of 300 kg and a radius of 2.00 m . Ignoring friction, how hard do you have to push tangentially to accomplish this in 6.00 s ? (Use energy methods and assume a constant push on your part.) F=? 2) A person opens a door...

the dogs are at bell's amusement park. maxwell is on the tilt-a-whirl (a merry go round type machine that initially spins horizontally around a vertical axis with passengers pressed against its exterior walls. it does this without passengers falling out.) the tilt-a-whirl is six meters (6m) in diameter. fifty kilogram (50kg) maxwell is 2.0 meters from the tilt-a-whirls center and the coefficient of static friction between the maxwell and the tilt-a-whirls floor is 0.20. the tilt-a-whirl has an old motor...
