While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find th

e motion somewhat unpleasant. To take your mind off your stomach, you wonder about the motion of the ride. You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 13 m , and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes 27 s . a.What is your speed?
b.What is the magnitude of your acceleration?
c.What is the ratio of your weight at the top of the ride to yourweight while standing on the ground?
d.What is the ratio of your weight at the bottom of the ride toyour weight while standing on the ground?

Answer:

a. v=3.03\frac{m}{s}

b. a_c=0.71\frac{m}{s^2}

c. \frac{W_{top}}{W}=0.93

d. \frac{W_{bot}}{W}=1.07

Explanation:

a. The speed is the distance travelled divided by the time:

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}\\v=\frac{2\pi(13m)}{27s}\\v=3.03\frac{m}{s}

b. The magnitud of the centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}\\a_c=\frac{(3.03\frac{m}{s})^2}{13m}\\a_c=0.71\frac{m}{s^2}

c. According to Newton's second law, at the top we have:

\sum F_{top}:W-W_{top}=ma_c\\W_{top}=mg-ma_c\\W_{top}=m(g-a_c)\\W_{top}=m(9.8\frac{m}{s^2}-0.71\frac{m}{s^2})\\W_{top}=m(9.09\frac{m}{s^2})\\\frac{W_{top}}{W}=\frac{m(9.09\frac{m}{s^2})}{m(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}\\\frac{W_{top}}{W}=0.93

d. According to Newton's second law, at the bottom we have:

\sum F_{bot}:-W+W_{bot}=ma_c\\W_{bot}=mg+ma_c\\W_{bot}=m(g+a_c)\\W_{bot}=m(9.8\frac{m}{s^2}+0.71\frac{m}{s^2})\\W_{bot}=m(10.51\frac{m}{s^2})\\\frac{W_{bot}}{W}=\frac{m(10.51\frac{m}{s^2})}{m(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}\\\frac{W_{bot}}{W}=1.07

A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.5 m/s collides with a 3220 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit a
Bezzdna [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum describing the inelastic collision of two bodies. By definition the collision between the two bodies is given as:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

Where,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

v_{1,2}= Initial Velocity of Each object

V_f= Final Velocity

Our values are given as

m_1 = 2190Kg

v_1 =10.5m/s

m_2 = 3220kg

V_f = 4.74m/s

Replacing we have that

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

(2190)(10.5)+(3220)v_2 = (2190+3220)(4.74)

v_2 = 0.8224m/s

Therefore the the velocity of the 3220 kg car before the collision was 0.8224m/s

For a ∆x of 0.1mm, what is ∆px, the uncertainty in the transverse momentum of a photon passing through a slit (where uncertainty
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}

Explanation:

Uncertainty principle say that the position and momentum can not be measured simultaneously except one relation which is described below,

\Delta x\Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi }

Given that the uncertainty in x is 0.1 mm.

Therefore,

\Delta p=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{4\times 3.14\times 1\times 10^{-4}m }\\\Delta p=0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}

Therefore, uncertainty in the transverse momentum of photon is 0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}
