While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find th

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a = 0.701 m / s²

Explanation:

As the game is spinning the acceleration is centripetal

a = v² /r

The park system after a small period of acceleration goes at a constant speed, for which we can use the relations of the uniform motion

v = d / t

the distance of a circle is

d = 2π r

we substitute

a = (2π r / t) ² / r

a = 4 pi² r / t²

let's calculate

a = 4 pi² 12 / 26²

a = 0.701 m / s²

A stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 19.9 m/s and at an angle of 39.9° above the horizonta

larisa [96]

Answer:

Part a)

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

$y = -75.6 m$

Explanation:

As we know that catapult is projected with speed 19.9 m/s

so here we have

$v_x = 19.9 cos39.9$

$v_x = 15.3 m/s$

similarly we have

$v_y = 19.9 sin39.9$

$v_y = 12.76 m/s$

Part a)

Horizontal displacement in 1.03 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.03)$

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.03) - 4.9(1.03)^2$

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

Horizontal displacement in 1.71 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.71)$

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.71) - 4.9(1.71)^2$

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

Horizontal displacement in 5.44 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(5.44)$

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(5.44) - 4.9(5.44)^2$

$y = -75.6 m$

Part a consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average r

Alex787 [66]

<span>436 km The conversion factor between kilocalorie/hour and watts is 1.163 (1 kcal/hr = 1.163 watt). So let's convert the energy consumption of the bird from watts to kcal/hr 3.7 w / 1.163 w hr/kcal = 3.18 kcal /hr 1 gram of fat has 9 kcal, so the total number of kcals consumed will be 4 * 9 = 36. So the bird can fly for 36/3.18 = 11.32 hours The distance traveled will be 11.32 h * 3600 s/h * 10.7 m/s / 1000 m/km = 436 km</span>
