If a Ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute then the acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride is 4.11 \text{m/s}^{2}.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the radius of the Ferris wheel is r=15 m, and the angular speed of the wheel is \omega=5rev/min.

It is required to find the angular acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride.

The formula required to calculate the angular acceleration is, a=\omega ^2 r.

Step-2:

Now substituting the given values into the equation to get the value of the angular acceleration.

\begin{aligned}a &=\omega^{2} r \\&=(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min})^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=\left(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min} \times \frac{\left(\frac{2 \pi}{60}\right) \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}}{1 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min}}\right)^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=(0.2741 \times 15) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \\&=4.11 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\end{aligned}

The acceleration is towards upwards that means towards the center of the wheel.

Determine tge energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 3.55x10
JulijaS [17]
E = hf
E = 6.63×10^-34 × 3.55×10 eV
1 eV = 1.60×10^-19 J
E = 6.63×10^-34 × 3.55×10 × 1.60×10^-19
E = 3.77×10^-51 J
