Answer:

a) 1.63 m/s2

b) 474.8 N

c) 0 degree from the vertical

d) 339.4N

e) 0 degree from vertical

f) 412.51 N

g) 9.43 degrees from vertical

Explanation:

The wheel rotates 4 times each minute so 2π * 4 = 8π rad angle for each minute, or 8π/60 = 0.42 rad/s

(a) The centripetal acceleration of the rider when subjected to a constant angular velocity of 0.42 rad/s is

a_c = \omega^2r = 0.42^2*9.3 = 1.63 m/s^2

(b) When the rider is at the bottom of the ride, there's centripetal acceleration and there's also gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2. These 2 vectors are in the same direction (downward) so we can add up to calculate the total acceleration

a_b = g + a_c = 1.63 + 9.81 = 11.44 m/s^2

Using Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws we can calculate the magnitude of the force that the rider acts on the seat and also the reaction force that the seat acts on the rider

F_b = ma_b = 41.5*11.44 = 474.8 N

c) As gravity acceleration and centripetal acceleration have the same direction (downward), the reaction force would be align but opposite direction(upward) so it makes 0 degree with the vertical.

d) At highest point of the ride we have gravity acceleration acting down and centripetal acceleration acting up. They are in opposite direction

a_t = g - a_c = 9.81 - 1.63 = 8.18 m/s^2

Using Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws we can calculate the magnitude of the force that the rider acts on the seat and also the reaction force that the seat acts on the rider

F_t = ma_t = 41.5*8.18 = 339.4 N

e) As gravity acceleration and centripetal acceleration are on the same line but opposite direction. This force would also be pointing upward and makes 0 degrees with the vertical.

f) At 3 o'clock, gravity acceleration is pointing downward while centripetal acceleration is pointing side way to the right. These 2 vectors are perpendicular to each other so we can calculate the magnitude of the total acceleration using Pythagorean formula:

a_s = \sqrt{a_c^2 + g^2} = \sqrt{1.63^2 + 9.81^2} = \sqrt{2.6569 + 96.2361} = \sqrt{98.893} = 9.94 m/s^2

Using Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws we can calculate the magnitude of the force that the rider acts on the seat and also the reaction force that the seat acts on the rider

F_s = ma_s = 41.5*9.94 = 412.51N

g) The reaction force would have an angle α of

tan\alpha = \frac{a_c}{g} = \frac{1.63}{9.81} = 0.17

\alpha = tan^{-1}0.17 = 0.16 rad \approx 9.43 degrees  from the vertical.

Un movil viaja a 40km/h y comienza a reducir su velocidad a partir del instante t=0. Al cabo de 6 segundo se detiene completamen
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

1,85 m / s²

Explanation:

De la pregunta anterior, se obtuvieron los siguientes datos:

Velocidad inicial (u) = 40 km / h

Hora inicial (t₁) = 0

Tiempo final (t₂) = 6 s

Velocidad final (v) = 0

Aceleración (a) =?

A continuación, convertiremos 40 km / ha m / s. Esto se puede obtener de la siguiente manera:

1 km / h = 0,2778 m / s

Por lo tanto,

40 km / h = 40 km / h × 0,2778 m / s / 1 km / h

40 km / h = 11,11 m / s

Por tanto, 40 km / h equivalen a 11,11 m / s.

Finalmente, determinaremos la aceleración del móvil durante el período en el que desaceleró. Esto se puede obtener de la siguiente manera:

Velocidad inicial (u) = 11,11 m / s

Hora inicial (t₁) = 0

Tiempo final (t₂) = 6 s

Velocidad final (v) = 0

Aceleración (a) =?

a = (v - u) / (t₂ - t₁)

a = (0 - 11,11) / (6 - 0)

a = - 11,11 / 6

a = –1,85 m / s²

Por tanto, la aceleración del móvil durante el período en el que se ralentizó es de –1,85 m / s²

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.

This is for physical science, need help :/

1).  From the frame of reference of a passenger on the airplane looking out of his window, the tree appears to be moving, at roughly 300 miles per hour toward the left of the picture.

2).  The SI unit best suited to measuring the height of a building is the meter.

3).  'Displacement' is the straight-line distance and direction from the start-point to the end-point, regardless of the path that was followed to get there.  

The ball started out in the child's hand, and it ended up 2 meters away from her in the direction of the wall.  So the displacement of the ball from the beginning to the end of the story is:  2 meters toward the wall.
