A ferris wheel is 35 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 2 meters above the ground. The six o'clock position

on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 6 minutes. The function h = f(t) gives your height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. Write an equation for h = f(t).

Answer:

$h=f(t)= -17.5cos(\pi /3)+20.5$

Explanation:

Amplitude is 35/2=17.5

Midline= Distance from ground + Amplitude = 17.5+3= 20.5

Period is time taken to finish 6 minutes

2π/b=T

2π/b=6

b=π/3

$h=f(t)= -17.5cos(\pi /3)+20.5$

Answer:

$y = 2 + \frac{35}{2}(1 - cos(\frac{\pi}{3} t))$

Explanation:

As we know that time period of the ferris wheel is given as

$T = 6 min$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{6} rad/min$

$\omega = \frac{\pi}{3} rad/min$

now angular position at any time "t" is given as

$\theta = \omega t$

so the height as a function of time is given as

$y = h_i + R - Rcos\theta$

$y = 2 + \frac{35}{2}(1 - cos(\frac{\pi}{3} t))$

Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Explanation:

a) <em>High and low pressures in kilopascals</em>:

101.325 kPa equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 15.999\,kPa$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 10.666\,kPa$

High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) <em>High and low pressures in pounds per square inch</em>:

14.696 psi equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 2.320\,psi$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times\frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 1.547\,psi$

High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) <em>High and low pressures in meter water column in meters water column</em>:

We can calculate the equivalent water column of a mercury column by the following relation:

$\frac{h_{w}}{h_{Hg}} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}$

$h_{w} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}\times h_{Hg}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\rho_{w}$ , $\rho_{Hg}$ - Densities of water and mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$h_{w}$ , $h_{Hg}$ - Heights of water and mercury columns, measured in meters.

If we know that $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $h_{Hg, high} = 0.120\,m$ and $h_{Hg, low} = 0.080\,m$ , then we get that:

$h_{w, high} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.120\,m$

$h_{w, high} = 1.632\,m$

$h_{w, low} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.080\,m$

$h_{w, low} = 1.088\,m$

High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power consumed by toaster oven, $P=1.4\ kW$

Time taken, t = 6 minutes = 0.1 hour

Energy used by toaster, $W_{toaster}=P\times t$

$W_{toaster}=1.4\ kW\times 0.1\ h=0.14\ kWh$

Similarly,

Power consumed by toaster oven, $P=11\ W$

Time taken, t = 9 minutes = 0.15 hour

Energy used by toaster, $W_{toaster}=P\times t$

$W_{toaster}=11\ W\times 0.15\ h=1.65\ Wh=0.0016\ kWh$

Hence, this is the required solution.
