Answer:

The Ferris wheel's tangential (linear) velocity if the net centripetal force on the woman is 115 N is <u>3.92 m/s</u>.

Explanation:

Let's use <u>Newton's 2nd Law</u> to help solve this problem.

  • F = ma

The force acting on the Ferris wheel is the centripetal force, given in the problem: F_c=115 \ \text{N}.

The mass "m" is the <u>sum</u> of the man and woman's masses: 85+65= 150 \ \text{kg}.

The acceleration is the centripetal acceleration of the Ferris wheel: a_c=\displaystyle \frac{v^2}{r}.

Let's write an equation and solve for "v", the tangential (linear) acceleration.

  • \displaystyle 115=m(\frac{v^2}{r} )
  • \displaystyle 115 = (85+65)(\frac{v^2}{20})
  • \displaystyle 115=150(\frac{v^2}{20} )
  • .766667=\displaystyle(\frac{v^2}{20} )
  • 15.\overline{3}=v^2
  • v=3.9158

The Ferris wheel's tangential velocity is 3.92 m/s.

Two arrows are shot vertically upward. the second arrow is shot after the first one, but while the first is still on its way up.
Neko [114]
<span>Now that you know the time to reach its maximum height, you have enough information to find out the initial velocity of the second arrow. Here's what you know about it: its final velocity is 0 m/s (at the maximum height), its time to reach that is 2.8 seconds, but wait! it was fired 1.05 seconds later, so take off 1.05 seconds so that its time is 1.75 seconds, and of course gravity is still the same at -9.8 m/s^2. Plug those numbers into the kinematic equation (Vf=Vi+a*t, remember?) for 0=Vi+-9.8*1.75 and solve for Vi to get....... 17.15 m/s</span>

What is the approximate wavelength of a light whose first-order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 45.0° when it passes
sp2606 [1]
** Missing info: Lines per mm = 500 **

Ans: The wavelength is =  λ = 1414.21 nm

Explanation:
The formula for diffraction grading is:

dsinθ = mλ --- (1)

Where
d = 1/lines-per-meter = (1/500)*10^-3 = 2 * 10^-6
m = order = 1
λ = wavelength
θ = 45°

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => 2*10^-6*sin(45°) = (1)λ
=> λ = 1414.21 nm
