A Ferris wheel is turning at a constant speed. The riders are _________________ accelerating.

Physics
1 answer:
aivan3 [116]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The riders are <u>radially</u> accelerating.

Explanation:

The Ferris wheel is making a circular motion. If it is moving with constant velocity, than the acceleration is

a_{rad} = \frac{v^2}{R}

towards the center of the wheel.

So, the riders are subject to a constant and radial acceleration, which is called the centripetal acceleration.

what would you say is the strongest force in our galaxy? the sun, moon, or earth. support the answer with at least two facts.
Lilit [14]
I think sun because:
-Sun is the strongest force. It has the largest gravitational pull.
-the moon and Earth both depend on the Sun for different things.
-The sun is not greatly affected by the Moo or the Earth.
