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

heel starts turning, you are at the very top.Part AWhat is your angular position 75 seconds after the wheel starts turning, measured counterclockwise from the top? Express your answer as an angle between 0∘ and 360∘.Express your answer in degrees.Part BWhat is your speed v?

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

In cloud formation, water vapor turns into water droplets which get bigger and bigger until it rains.
Andreas93 [3]

Basically there will be an increase in the air temperature in the clouds. Internally the water vapor is condensed in a cloud to fall like rain and release all the heat that it has inside. This heat is physically known as 'latent heat'. With this release of energy released as water vapor becomes drops of water, a microphysical process will be generated in the clouds that are responsible for controlling the conversion of water vapor into cloud particles and their respective rainfall.

The correct answer is A: Get Warmer.

Combine these three velocity vectors into a resultant: 3.0 m/s north, 4.0 m/s east 1.0 m/s west. Identify the resultant vector
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s

Explanation:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s west based on triangle law of vector addition, when two sides of a triangle is represented by two vectors, the resultant vector is the third side of the triangle.

Correct Number Formats Numbers may be entered in several formats - including scientific notation and numerical expressions.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Valid

b. Invalid

c. Invalid

d. Invalid

e. Valid

f.  Valid

g. Invalid

Explanation:

a.

Since, it follows all the four rules,

Therefore, this number is <u>Valid</u>

b.

It uses upper case E, instead of lower case e.

Therefore, it is <u>Invalid</u>

c.

It violates third rule for including unit.

Therefore, it is <u>Invalid</u>

d.

It violates the first rule. As, there is a space between 6 and e. While in the example given in question, there is no gap.

Therefore, it is <u>Invalid</u>

e.

Since, it follows all the four rules,

Therefore, this number is <u>Valid</u>

f.

Since, it follows all the four rules,

Therefore, this number is <u>Valid</u>

g.

It violates third rule for including unit.

Therefore, it is <u>Invalid</u>

Estimate the power you produce in running up a flight of stairs. Give your answer in horsepower (1 hp = 746 W). Suppose you clim
GarryVolchara [31]
The first thing you should do is calculate the work done when climbing the stairs. This work by definition will be given by:
 W = F * d
 W = (m * g) * (d)
 W = ((71) * (9.8)) * (3) = 2087.4J
 Then, you can calculate the power that in this case is given by
 P = W / t
 P = (2087.4) / (10) = 208.74W
 To have the result in HP we use the fact that 1HP = 746W
 P = (208.74) / (746)
 P = 0.28 HP
 answer
 the power you produce in running up a flight of stairs is 0.28 HP
