A Ferris wheel has a radius R of 9.3 m and rotates four times each minute.

Physics
1 answer:

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.

If two lines in a system of linear equations have the same slope and same y-intercept, how many solutions will the system have?
arsen [322]

Answer:

We will have <u>infinite solutions </u>to the system of linear equations.

Explanation:

Well, when we have two lines with the <u>same slopes and the same y-interception</u>, both of them <u>are overlapped, </u>so we will have <u>infinite solutions </u>to the system of linear equations.

This kind of system is called <u>dependent system.</u>

I hope it helps you!

Why do the pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?
qaws [65]

Answer:

1. Increase Efficiency: Insulating the condensate or hot water return lines reduces heat loss from the water returning to the boiler. The hotter the water returning to the boiler is, the quicker it is to convert back to steam, which takes less energy to accomplish.
