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

Convert 8 light years to Astronomical Units
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

505929 AU

Explanation:

As you may know, one light-year is equivalent to approximately 63241.1 Astronomical Units. To get your answer, simply multiply 63241.1 * 8 to get ≈505929 AU

Two identical charges q placed 2.0 mapart exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other What is the value of the charge q? a) q
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c) 4.2*10^{-5}C

Explanation:

Coulomb's law says that the force exerted between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, and is given by the expression:

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where k is a proportionality constant with the value k=9*10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}

In this case q_{1}=q_{2}=q, so we have:

F=\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

Solving the equation for q, we have:

kq^{2}=Fr^{2}

q^{2}=\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}}

Replacing the given values:

q=\sqrt{\frac{4.0N*(2.0m)^{2}}{9*10^{-9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}}}

q=4.2*10^{-5}C

Newton's laws of motion are true on earth and space.
frez [133]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is a common misunderstanding that objects in space have no weight. If that were true, they would just float away from the Earth, the Sun and the other planets. Objects in low Earth orbit experience about 90% of the weight that they feel on the surface of the Earth.
