Question

On an amusement park ride, passengers are seated in a horizontal circle of radius 6 m. The seats begin from rest and are uniformly accelerated for 30 seconds to a maximum rotational speed of 1.8 rad/s. What is the tangential acceleration of the passengers during the first 30 s of the ride?

Step 1

8\) rad/s Radius, \(r = 6\) m The final tangential speed can be calculated using the formula: \[v_{f} = v_{i} + \alpha \times t\] where \(\alpha\) is the angular acceleration and \(t\) is the time taken to reach the maximum speed. Show more…
