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
Answer:
284.4233 N/m
Explanation:
k = Spring constant
x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm
U = Potential energy = 2.99 J
The potential energy of a spring is given by
Rearranging to get the value of k
The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m
The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².
<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>
The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.
Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment
Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m
where
- Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
- F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g
m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67
a = 4.15 m/s²
The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².
In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

Hi there!
The period of an orbit can be found by:
T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)
v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)
This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.
Let's plug in what we know and solve.
Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2
b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)
b = 0.000255
