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

What changes a ball velocity
Grace [21]

Answer/Explanation: Speed and direction can change with time. When you throw a ball into the air, it leaves your hand at a certain speed. As the ball rises, it slows down. Then, as the ball falls back toward the ground, it speeds up again. When the ball hits the ground, its direction of motion changes and it bounces back up into the air.

Rasek [7]

Answer;

D. ocean currents might change course.

Explanation;

Ocean currents are the directed movements of water in the ocean and can be caused by wind (for currents closer to the surface) and temperature, salinity, or density differences (currents deeper in the ocean). Ocean currents help to warm or cool certain parts of the earth by carrying warmer water northward or cooler water toward the equator.

Climate change can have a vast effect on ocean currents because of the change in temperature it causes, which results in change in ocean water temperatures and a subsequent distortion in current flow.

a bowling ball of mass 7.3 kg and radius 9.6 cm rolls without slipping down a lane at 3.1 m/s . part a calculate its total kinet
erma4kov [3.2K]

49 J   is the total kinetic energy. If a bowling ball of mass 7.3 kg and radius 9.6 cm rolls without slipping down a lane at 3.1 m/s. Kinetic energy is the energy an bowling ball has because of its motion.

Given:    m = 7.3 Kg ;  r = 9.4 cm = 0.094 m   ;   v = 3.1 m

Now total kinetic energy in this case is given by KE = Kinetic energy due to rotation  + Kinetic energy due to translation

i,e     KE = 1/2*m*v2   +   1/2*I*ω2      where   I is the moment of inertia of the bowling ball about it's center and ω is the angular velocity

Now for pure rotation (without slipping)    v = rω  

also for the ball (solid sphere)  I = 2/5*m*r2

Hence our kinetic energy becomes  

 KE = 1/2*m*v2 +  1/5*m*v2 = 7/10*m*v2

so   KE = 0.7*7.3*(3.1)2 = 49.10 J = 49 J
