according to the second law of dynamics F = m • a => a = F / m
A) 140 degrees
First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is
T = 32 s
So the angular velocity is
Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:
and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find
In degrees, it is
So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.
B) 2.7 m/s
The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by
where we have
r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel
Substituting into the equation, we find
Answer:
i)-6.25m/s
ii)18 metres
iii)26.5 m/s or 95.4 km/hr
Explanation:
Firstly convert 90km/hr to m/s
90 × 1000/3600 = 25m/s
(i) Apply v^2 = u^2 + 2As...where v(0m/s) is the final speed and u(25m/s) is initial speed and also s is the distance moved through(50 metres)
0 = (25)^2 + 2A(50)
0 = 625 + 100A....then moved the other value to one
-625 = 100A
Hence A = -6.25m/s^2(where the negative just tells us that its deceleration)
(ii) Firstly convert 54km/hr to m/s
In which this is 54 × 1000/3600 = 15m/s
then apply the same formula as that in (i)
0 = (15)^2 + 2(-6.25)s
-225 = -12.5s
Hence the stopping distance = 18metres
(iii) Apply the same formula and always remember that the deceleration values is the same throughout this question
0 = u^2 + 2(-6.25)(56)
u^2 = 700
Hence the speed that the car was travelling at is the,square root of 700 = 26.5m/s
In km/hr....26.5 × 3600/1000 = 95.4 km/hr
There are several possibilities. Here are a few that occur to me:
-- If Point-A is the summit of Pike's Peak, he may feel somewhat
short of breath.
-- If Point-A is his grandmother's house, he may feel a great sense
of pleasant anticipation.
-- If Point-A is his office on Monday morning, then he may feel
a tightening sensation in his chest.;
-- If Point-A is his home on Friday afternoon, then he feels the
effects of a slow and steady drop in his blood pressure.
I finer point might be put to it if we had any idea of where
Point-A is, and what it represents in the grand scheme
of things.
