A ferris wheel of radius 100 feet is rotating at a constant angular speed Ï rad/sec counterclockwise. using a stopwatch, the rid

er finds it takes 5 seconds to go from the lowest point on the ride to a point q, which is level with the top of a 44 ft pole. assume the lowest point of the ride is 3 feet above ground level.

Refer to the figure shown below.

From the geometry,
y = 100 - (44 - 3) = 59 ft
From the Pythagorean theorem,
x² = 100² - 59² = 6519
x = 8007403 ft

Calculate the central angle, θ.
cos θ = 59/100 = 0.59
θ = 53.84° = 0.9397 radians

Calculate the arc length pq.
S = pq = 0.9394*100 = 93.94 ft

Calculate the angular velocity.
ω = (0.9397 radians)/(5 s) = 0.188 rad/s

Calculate the tangential velocity.
v = (100 ft)*(0.188 rad/s) = 18.8 ft/s

Calculate the time for 1 revolution.
T = (2π rad)/(0.188 rad/s) = 33.4 s

Answers:
The angular speed is  0.188 rad/s
The tangential speed is 18.8 ft/s
The time for one revolution is 33.4 s

Each element has an atomic number state which is meant by atomic number
netineya [11]

Answer: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in the number of neutrons. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. This number is very important because it is unique for atoms of a given element. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms.

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 60 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls until it
musickatia [10]
<span> y=y0 + vt +1/2gt^2
(solve for t here) cause you know y,y0,v,g
you will do quad formula here

then:
v=v0 +at solve for v
(remember the direction of the ball too (signs))

The main thing to remember here is that when the ball passes exactly (height) where it was launched it will travel the speed at which it was launched. *its almost like the ball was thrown in the downward direction. </span>

What happens if a mid-ocean ridge occurs on land
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen

Explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge  slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

Two brothers, Frank and Dion, are on roller skates and standing still when they push off from one another. Frank's mass is 103.4
tigry1 [53]
Around -3.5 ( might not be completely right ) Frank has a greater mass to he has a low velocity at first, Dion is around half of his weight so he doesn’t have to use as much force to get more than Frank
