The Cosmoclock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama City, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which

can function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60 s).
Part A: Find the speed of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate (in m/s)
Part B: A passenger weighs 834 N at the weight-guessing booth on the ground. What is his apparent weight at the highest point of the Ferris wheel? (in N)
Part C: What is his apparent weight at the lowest point on the Ferris wheel?
Part D: What would be the time for one revolution if the passeger's apparent weight at the highest point were zero? (in s)
Part E: What then would be the passenger's apparent weight at the lowest point? (in N)

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 / 60

= .10467 rad / s

linear velocity v = ω R

=  .10467 x 50

= 5.23 m / s

centripetal force = m v² / R

= mg v² / gR

= 834 x 5.23² / 9.8 x 50

= 46.55 N

B )

apparent weight

= mg - centripetal force

= 834 - 46.55

= 787.45 N

C ) apparent weight

= mg + centripetal force

= 834 + 46.55

= 880.55 N.

D )

For apparent weight to be zero

centripetal force = mg

mg = mv² / R

v² = gR

= 9.8 x 50

= 490

v = 22.13 m /s

time period of revolution

= 2π R /v

2 x 3.14 x 50 / 22.13

= 14.19 s

The temperature of the liquid in a container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.

What is the relation between motion and force
ipn [44]

Answer:

For instance, an object is moving and we can say that a force is acting or must have been acted upon to cause the state of motion. When force is applied, it changes the position of the object concerning time resulting in motion. The motion, in other words, is described as a change in speed or change in direction.
