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 separation between two magnets is reduced by a factor of 5. How does the force between them change?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:Increase by a factor of  25

Explanation:

We know that magnetic force is proportional to \frac{1}{r^2}

where r is the distance between them

F\propto B\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

Thus F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

Where B=magnetic field

If distance is reduced by a factor of 5 then force must increase by a factor of 25 because

r\rightarrow \frac{r}{5}

so F\propto \dfrac{1}{(\frac{r}{5})^2}

F\propto \frac{25}{r^2}

5. A bus starting from rest accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3m/s2 for 8s. Calculate the distance travelled
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

d = 96 meters

Explanation:

a = acceleration

t = time

d = distance

d =  \frac{1}{2}  \times a \times  {t}^{2}

d =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 3 \times  {8}^{2}

d = 96

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself.There is no one ar
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F

Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with

Explanation:

Force downwards F is,

F = FA - T

T is the upwards tension force on the rope

FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.

Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)

For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)

Therefore, ma = T - mg

T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)

Equating equ. 1 and 2

T = FA - F = ma + mg

Therefore FA = ma + mg + F

But at constant velocity a = 0

Magnitude of applied force becomes

FA = mg + F

Light striking a metal surface causes electrons to be emitted from the metal via the photoelectric effect.In a particular experi
ANEK [815]

The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.

In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.

Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.
