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

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. What can you conclude from this fact?
Alja [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

If Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, we can conclude that:

- If neutral, it has 8 protons and 8 electrons

- It has 8 neutrons and its atomic mass is 16 (A = 8 + 8)

- It must be located in the group VI A

- Its valence number must be 6

- Its Oxidation number is -2

What happens to the structure of an atom when the atom is ionised?​
Phoenix [80]

Answer: Explanation:

If the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons then the atom is uncharged and is electrically neutral. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons: increasing or decreasing the negative charge. Ionisation is the addition or removal of an electron to create an ion. ..Gaining an electron creates a negative ion.

330 grams of boiling water (temperature 100°C, specific heat capacity 4.2 J/K/gram) are poured into an aluminum pan whose mass i
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

T = 74°C

Explanation:

Given Mw = mass of water = 330g, Ma = mass of aluminium = 840g

Cw = 4.2gJ/g°C = specific heat capacity of water and Ca = 0.9J/g°C = specific heat capacity of aluminium

Initial temperature of water = 100°C.

Initial temperature of aluminium = 29°C

When the boiling water is poured into the aluminum pan, heat is exchanged and after a short time the water and aluminum pan both come to thermal equilibrium at a common temperature T.

Heat lost by water equal to the heat gained by aluminium pan.

Mw × Cw×(100 –T) = Ma × Ca × (T–29)

330×4.2×(100– T) = 890×0.9×(T–29)

1386(100 – T) = 801(T –29)

1386/801(100 – T) = T – 29

1.73(100 – T) = T – 29

173 –1.73T = T –29

173+29 = T + 1.73T

202 = 2.73T

T = 202/2.73

T = 74°C
