A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie

ve a positive velocity and positive acceleration, what is the most sensible way to set up her coordinate system?

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

Are passing through optical Centre deviate why ​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Actually the same happens when the ray passes through optical centre. This can be observed in a thick lens. In thin lenses the perpendicular distance between extended incident ray and extended emergent ray is negligible. So we can say that light ray passes through optical centre without deviation.

Item 19 Question 1 A Ferris wheel has a radius of 75 feet. You board a car at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, which is 10 feet a
sergey [27]

Answer:

y = 104.4 ft

Explanation:

As we know that we board in the car of ferris wheel at the bottom position

So we will have

final height of the car at angular displacement given as

y = y_o + R + R sin(270 - 255)

y = y_o + R + R sin 15

here we know that

y_o = 10 ft

R = 75 ft

so we have

y = 10 + 75 + 75 sin15

y = 104.4 ft
