Chemical energy stored in the compounds caked on the head of the match, and later the
chemical energy stored in the wood, was released in the form of heat and light when the
chemical compounds got hot enough.
(Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)
Answer:W = 1.23×10^-6BTU
Explanation: Work = Surface tension × (A1 - A2)
W= Surface tension × 3.142 ×(D1^2 - D2^2)
Where A1= Initial surface area
A2= final surface area
Given:
D1=0.5 inches , D2= 3 inches
D1= 0.5 × (1ft/12inches)
D1= 0.0417 ft
D2= 3 ×(1ft/12inches)
D2= 0.25ft
Surface tension = 0.005lb ft^-1
W = [(0.25)^2 - (0.0417)^2]
W = 954 ×10^6lbf ft × ( 1BTU/778lbf ft)
W = 1.23×10^-6BTU
Answer:
The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer is approximately 0.262 m/s
Explanation:
The dimensions of the tallest Ferris wheel in the world are;
The diameter of the Ferris wheel, D = 150 m
The tine it takes the Ferris wheel to make a full circle, T = 30 minutes = 30 min × 60 s/min = 1,800 seconds
The angular velocity of the Ferris wheel, ω = 2·π/T
The linear velocity of the Ferris wheel, v = r·ω = The speed of the riders
Where;
r = The radius of the Ferris wheel = D/2
D = 150 m
∴ r = 150 m/2 = 75 m
∴ v = r·2·π/T
∴ v = 75 m × 2 × π/(1,800 s) ≈ 0.262 m/s
The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer, v ≈ 0.262 m/s
