Answer:

Incomplete question

The complete question is

A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 6.0 m. Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 9.6 s. Consider a rider whose mass is 96 kg.

At the bottom of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum?

Explanation:

Radius of wheel is 6m

Rider mass=96kg

He completes one revolution in 9.6s

Let get angular velocity (w)

1 Revolution =2πrad

θ=2πrad

w= θ/t

w=2π/9.6

w=0.654rad/s

Linear speed is give as

v=wr

v=0.654×6

v=3.93m/s

Centripetal acceleration a

a=rw²

a=6×0.654²

a=2.57m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/s²

According to Newton's second law of motion net force acting on the rider at the bottom of the ride is given by: the two force acting at the bottom is the normal and the weight of the rider

ΣF = ma

N-W=ma

N-mg=ma

N=ma+mg

N=m(a+g)

N=96(2.57+9.81)

N=1188.48 N

Therefore the rate of change of momentum at the bottom of the ride is 1188.48 N.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer

-Directly;  outside air pressure

Vapor pressure is directly related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation;

-As the temperature of a system increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases in both the liquid and gas phases.

-A higher average kinetic energy facilitates the escape of molecules from the liquid phase into the gas phase. At the same time, the rate of return of gas phase molecules to the liquid also increases. A new equilibrium point is reached at a higher gaseous vapor pressure. The increase in vapor pressure with temperature is exponential.

A bowling ball (mass = 7.2 kg, radius = 0.11 m) and a billiard ball (mass = 0.38 kg, radius = 0.028 m) may each be treated as un
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of bowling ball M1=7.2kg

The radius of bowling ball r1=0.11m

Mass of billiard ball M2=0.38kg

The radius of the Billiard ball r2=0.028m

Gravitational constant

G=6.67×10^-11Nm²/kg²

The magnitude of their distance apart is given as

r=r1+r2

r=0.028+0.11

r=0.138m

Then, gravitational force is given as

F=GM1M2/r²

F=6.67×10^-11×7.2×0.38/0.138²

F=9.58×10^-9N

The force of attraction between the two balls is

F=9.58×10^-9N

When exposed to a radioactive source which emits 1.2-MeV gamma-rays, a particular material is found to have a half-value thickne
iren2701 [21]

Answer:E

Explanation:

It is given that Energy of gamma ray is E=1.2 Mev

Shielding effect can be measured by measuring the fraction of gamma rays blocked by shield. If certain thickness will able to block half the radiation then to block 75% radiation we need to add same amount of thickness in order to block the remaining radiation.

i.e. \frac{E}{2} fraction is blocked by 10 cm thickness

then remaining radiation is \frac{E}{2}

another 10 cm thickness will block the remaining half radiation i.e. \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{E}{2}=\frac{E}{4}

so total 75 % radiation will be blocked
