At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is
∑ F = ma
n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a
where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is
a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²
and so
n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N
the answer is definitely A.
Explanation:
Velocity = displacement / time
v = √((58 m)² + (135 m)²) / (12 min × 60 s/min)
v = 0.20 m/s
<span>he theory states that Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, is broken into 7 large, rigid pieces called plates: the African, North American, South American, Eurasian, Australian, Antarctic, and Pacific plates. Several minor plates also exist, including the Arabian, Nazca, and Philippines plates. The plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds</span>
