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

By Boyle's law:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

70*8 = P<span>₂*4

</span>P<span>₂*4 = 70*8
</span>
P<span>₂ = 70*8/4 = 140
</span>
P<span>₂ = 140 kiloPascals.</span>

When a wire 1.5 m long carries a 24-A current in the +x direction in a uniform external magnetic field, the magnetic force exert
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the magnetic field be

B = B_xi +B_yj +B_z k

For magnetic force , the expression is

F = L ( I x B )

= 1.5 ( 24i x B_xi +B_yj +B_z k )

F = 36 B_y k - 36 B_z j

Given

F = 3 j + 2 k

Equating equal terms

we have

B_y = 2 / 36 , B_z = - 3 / 36

Now the direction of current is changed to y direction

so F = 1.5[ 24j \times ( B_xi +B_yj +B_z k )]

Given

F = - 3 i - 2 k

Equating equal terms

we have

B_x = 2 / 36 , B_z = - 3 / 36

So B = 2/36 i + 2/36 j - 3/ 36 k

Magnitude of B

= 4.1 / 36 T
