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.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

15193.62 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6.5 hours

u = Initial velocity = 0 (Assumed)

m = Mass of rocket = 1380 kg

F = Thrust force = 896 N

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration of the rocket

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{896}{1380}\\\Rightarrow a=0.6493\ m/s^2

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.6493\times 6.5\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow v=15193.62\ m/s

The velocity of the rocket after 6.5 hours of thrust is 15193.62 m/s
