Answer:

Linear velocity of a rider in a capsule that is located at the perimeter of the wheel = 0.2355 m/s

Explanation:

Diameter = 135 m

Radius, r = 0.5 x 135 = 67.5 m

It revolves at a constant rate and takes 30 minutes

Period, T = 30 minutes= 1800 s

\texttt{Angular velocity, }\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\pi }{1800}=3.49\times 10^{-3}rad/s

Linear velocity, v = radius x angular velocity

                      v = 67.5 x 3.98 x 10⁻³ = 0.2355 m/s

Linear velocity of a rider in a capsule that is located at the perimeter of the wheel = 0.2355 m/s

How does the time at which you see things happen at a baseball game compare to the time when you hear things happen? Explain you
hoa [83]

Answer:

Because of the speed of the sound.

Explanation:

The first thing that happens in such cases is to take into account the speed of the sound. First, we see that the player hits the ball with the bat, if we are in the stands far enough we will hear the sound of the batting time later, this time depends on the speed of the sound which is equal to 345 [m/s].

Another visible and practical example is a fireworks display, where people nearby immediately hear the explosion. while those at a great distance will be able to see first the explosion followed by the sound.

With the following equation, we can calculate how long it takes to hear a hit or explosion

t = x / v

where:

x = distance [m]

v = sound velocity = 345 [m/s]

t = time [s]

Which law is associated with inertia
N76 [4]

Answer:

The focus of Lesson 1 is Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

An automobile to be transported by ship is raised 8.2m above the dock. If it's GPE is 63,405 J what is the car's mass?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

m = 788.2[kg]

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration by height. And it can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

Epot = potential energy = 63405 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81[m/s²]

h = elevation = 8.2[m]

Now replacing:

63405=m*9.81*8.2\\m=788.2[kg]
