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

a stone is dropped from top of a tower of 50m high ,simltaneously another stone is thrown upward with a speed of 20m/s find the
aleksklad [387]
At the time that I'll call ' Q ', the height of the stone that was
dropped from the tower is

             H = 50 - (1/2 G Q²) ,

and the height of the stone that was tossed straight up
from the ground is

             H  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

The stones meet when them's heights are equal,
so that's the time when

                         <span>50 - (1/2 G Q²)  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

This is looking like it's going to be easy.

Add  </span><span>(1/2 G Q²)  to each side.
Then it says
                                             50  =  20Q

Divide each side by 20:          2.5  =  Q .

And there we are.  The stones pass each other

                                       2.5 seconds

after they are simultaneously launched.

Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. He bought three identical plants and gave plant 1 fertilizer every mo
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.

Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.
