Suppose you and a friend, each of mass 50 kg , go to the park and get on a 4.5-m-diameter merry-go-round. You stand on the outside edge of the merry-go-round, while your friend pushes so that it rotates once every 5.0 seconds. What is the magnitude of the (apparent) outward force that you feel?

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?

The coefficient of friction is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two in contact with one another.

Suppose a comet has an orbital period of 309.1 years around the sun. what is it’s average distance from the sun?
