<span>Acceleration of a passenger is centripetal acceleration, since the Ferris wheel is assumed at uniform speed:
a = omega^2*r
omega and r in terms of given data:
omega = 2*Pi/T
r = d/2
Thus:
a = 2*Pi^2*d/T^2
What forces cause this acceleration for the passenger, at either top or bottom?
At top (acceleration is downward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Ntop): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
m*g - Ntop = m*a
At top (acceleration is upward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Nbottom): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
Nbottom - m*g = m*a
Solve for normal forces in both cases. Normal force is apparent weight, the weight that the passenger thinks is her weight when measuring by any method in the gondola reference frame:
Ntop = m*(g - a)
Nbottom = m*(g + a)
Substitute a:
Ntop = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
Nbottom = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
We are interested in the ratio of weight (gondola reference frame weight to weight when on the ground):
Ntop/(m*g) = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Nbottom/(m*g) = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Simplify:
Ntop/(m*g) = 1 - 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Nbottom/(m*g) = 1 + 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Data:
d:=22 m; T:=12.5 sec; g:=9.8 N/kg;
Results:
Ntop/(m*g) = 71.64%...she feels "light"
Nbottom/(m*g) = 128.4%...she feels "heavy"</span>
Answer:
1st and second, unless you have already learned area of trapezoids. If you have, add third
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Factors are the numbers and/or variables between your transactions (division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction signs). So the answer would be x2, 16x, and 64.

Jenny is a full-time college student at the local university. She is debating whether to purchase renter’s insurance or not. In at least one paragraph, give Jenny 3 reasons why purchasing renter’s insurance is important. Also, give your recommendation on how much renter’s insurance she should purchase and why.a. Answers will vary. Jenny should purchase at least$11,050 worth of coverage to ensure that all of her belongings are covered.
