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

When comparing the three atomic models provided, which statement best describes the diagram?
aliina [53]
C. Three isotopes of the same element because the number of electrons and protons remain the same but the number of neutrons in the nucleus are different. This means that the isotopes have different masses to each other but the same chemical properties.

Which statement describes the process of subduction? Convection currents pull a plate into the mantle. One plate slides beneath
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  • Subduction is the geological process in which one plate moves under another due to gravitational pull. The regions where this process occurs called subduction zones.
  • A subduction is a tectonic plate which is made up of crust and upper layer of mantle. These two layers are called as lithosphere.
  • Example:  South America, central America and cascade volcanoes. In which the oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate.

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.
OLga [1]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

 F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N      ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2

P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.
