A carnival ride accelerates upwards at 2.5 m/s. what is the apparent weight of a 35 kg child on the ride

Physics

The apparent weight of the child is 437.5 N.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The weight of a person/object moving up with an acceleration "a" is given by

W = m (g + a)

where,

W = apparent weight

m = mass of the person/object

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

a = acceleration of the object/person

Given,

m = 35 kg

a = 2.5 m/s²

To find,

W =?

Put the value sin the formula,

W = m (g + a)

W = 35 (10 + 2.5)

   = 35 (12.5)

   = 437.5 N

Therefore, the apparent weight of the child is 437.5 N.

First we gotta use an equation of motion:

d = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!

100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) {t}^{2}

Now we just need to solve for t:

{t}^{2} = \frac{2(100)}{9.8} \\ \\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}

Hit the calculators, and you'll get 4.5 seconds!

Coiling wire around an iron core and applying an electric current through the wire creates a temporary magnet called an electrom
Serggg [28]

Answer:

C) Use a battery with more voltage.

Explanation:

The equation for the magnetic field around a coil is given by,

B = μ₀NI

where,

B = Magnetic flux density

μ₀ = permeability

N = number of turns per meter

I = Current in the wire

So when using a higher voltage battery, more current passes through the battery as resistance of the wire remains the same.

It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
