The power exerted by the cyclist is determined as 50 W.

<h3>Average power exerted by the cyclist</h3>

The power exerted by the cyclist is calculated as follows;

P = FV

where;

F is the applied force
V is velocity

P = 20 x 2.5

P = 50 W

Thus, the power exerted by the cyclist is determined as 50 W.

marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w

Leto [7]

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s$

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

$\theta= \omega t$

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

$\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad$

In degrees, it is

$15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

$v=\omega r$

where we have

$\omega=0.20 rad/s$

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s$
