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.

Before scientists come up with a scientific question, what do they have to do first?

Scientist would check what other scientists have said before they come up with their own scientific question. That way they can record the results from the others and compare them with their own findings when they conduct their own experiments and record the findings.

A wave pulse travels along a string at a speed of 200 cm/s. What will be the speed if:

34kurt

Answer:

a) $v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2TL}{m}} = \sqrt{2} v = \sqrt{2}2m/s =2.83 m/s$

The velocity increase by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$

b) $v_f = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{4m}} = \frac{1}{2} v = \frac{1}{2} *2m/s =1 m/s$

The velocity decrease by a factor of 2.

c) $v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{m}} = 2} v = 2 *2m/s =4m/s$

The velocity increase by a factor of 2

d) $v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{4m}} = v = 2m/s$

The velocity not changes.

Explanation:

For this case we know that the velocity is $v = 200 cm/s = 2m/s$

$v_f$ represent the final velocity after the changes specified,

Part a

The formula for the speed of a wave in a string is given by:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}$

And the linear density is defined as:

$\rho = \frac{m}{L}$

And if we replace this we got:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{m}}$

If the tension mass is doubled we have this:

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2TL}{m}} = \sqrt{2} v = \sqrt{2}2m/s =2.83 m/s$

The velocity increase by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$

Part b

If we mass is quadrupled we have this:

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{4m}} = \frac{1}{2} v = \frac{1}{2} *2m/s =1 m/s$

The velocity decrease by a factor of 2.

Part c

If the length is quadrupled we have this:

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{m}} = 2} v = 2 *2m/s =4m/s$

The velocity increase by a factor of 2

Part d

For this case we know that the mass and the length are both quadrupled and we got:

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{4m}} = v = 2m/s$

The velocity not changes.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Part a)

$\theta_2 = 15 degree$

Part b)

$\Delta t = 2.88 s$

Explanation:

Part a)

In order to have same range for same initial speed we can say

$R_1 = R_2$

$\frac{v^2 sin2\theta_1}{g} = \frac{v^2 sin2\theta_2}{g}$

so after comparing above we will have

$\theta_1 = 90 - \theta$

so we have

$75 = 90 - \theta_2$

$\theta_2 = 15 degree$

Part b)

Time of flight for the first ball is given as

$T_1 = \frac{2vsin\theta}{g}$

$T_1 = \frac{2(20)sin75}{9.81}$

$T_1 = 3.94 s$

Now for other angle of projection time is given as

$T_2 = \frac{2(20)sin15}{9.81}$

$T_2 = 1.05 s$

So here the time lag between two is given as

$\Delta t = T_1 - T_2$

$\Delta t = 3.94 - 1.05$

$\Delta t = 2.88 s$
