Answer:

The apparent weight of the person as she pass the highest point is  N  =  458.8 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius of the Ferris wheel is r = 5.0 \ m

    The period of revolution is T = 8.0 \ s

     The weight of the person is  W  =  670 \ N

   

Generally the speed of the wheel is mathematically represented as

      v =  \frac{2 \pi r}{T }

substituting values

      v =  \frac{2 * 3.142 *  5}{8 }

       v =  3.9 3 \ m/s

The apparent weight (the normal force exerted on her by the bench) at the highest point is mathematically evaluated as

          N  =  mg  - \frac{mv^2}{r}

Where m is the mass of the person which is mathematically evaluated as

     m =  \frac{W}{g}

substituting values

    m =  \frac{670}{9.8}

    m =  68.37 \ kg

So

    N  =  68.37 * 9.8   - \frac{68.37 * {3.93}^2}{5}

    N  =  458.8 \ N

Does pressure change faster as you move horizontally or vertically? explain reasoning
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Vertically

Explanation:

Pressure changes faster as we move vertically because as we go to the height from the surface of the earth. The density of air becomes lesser in comparison with the surface of the earth. So, as we move vertically pressure moves faster than in comparison with the vertical movement.

The best example that describes the above statement is the hill station.

A force of 1.00 x 10^2 pounds acts at an angle of 60.0° to the x-axis. (The force is accurate to 3 significant figures.) What ar
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Fx= 50.0 Pounds : Components of the force along the x-axis

Fy= 86.6 Pounds : Component of the force along the y-axis

Explanation:

Conceptual Analysis

To find the components (Fx, Fy) of the total force (F), we apply the trigonometric concepts for a right triangle, where the perpendicular sides of the triangle are the components (Fx, Fy) of the force (F), the hypotenuse (h) is the magnitude of the total force F and β is the angle that forms the horizontal component with the hypotenuse.

Formulas

cos β : x/h  :    x: side adjacent to the β angle  h: hypotenuse  (1)

sin β = y/h  :    y: side opposite to the β angle  h: hypotenuse  (2)

Known Data

Known data

F= 1.00 * 10² pounds  = 100 pounds :  magnitude of total force

β =  60.0° to the x-axis. : Angle that forms the force with the x-axis

Problem Development

We apply the formula 1 to calculate horizontal component (Fx)

cos β :Fx/F

Fx= F cosβ  = 100*cos 60° = 50.0 Pounds

We apply the formula 2 to calculate vertical component (Fy)

sin β = Fy/F

Fy= F sinβ = 100*sin 60° = 86.6 Pounds

A square loop of length 0.1 m on each side is sitting in a magnetic field that is increasing at a rate of 0.1 T/second. What can
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The induced emf can be found by Faraday’s Law.

\epsilon = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}

\Phi_B = BA = B(0.1)^2 = 0.01B

The magnetic field is increasing at a rate of 0.1T/s. So,

\frac{dB}{dt} = 0.1

Finally,

\epsilon = \frac{dBA}{dt} = 0.01\frac{dB}{dt} = 0.01\times 0.1 = 0.001 V

Explanation:

Faraday’s Law states that a change in the magnetic flux induces an emf in the circuit. The magnetic flux is the multiplication of magnetic field and the area of the loop. The area of the loop is simple, and the change of magnetic field as a function of time is given in the question.

The minus sign in front of the Faraday’s Law means that the induced current always opposes the change of the magnetic flux. Since we do not know the direction of the magnetic field in this question, we cannot find the direction of the induced emf on the loop.

Leash a block of 0.5 kg down the entire length of an inclined plane forming a name of 37 ° with the horizontal. Friction with th
castortr0y [4]
The potential energy of the block is given by:
V = m*g*h
m mass
g = 9.81m/s²
h height

The potential energy of a spring is given by:
V = 0.5 * k * x²

k spring constant
x compression of the spring

If the block starts from rest it has potential energy, but no kinetic energy. As it slides down the incline potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. When the block hits the spring the kinetic energy is converted into spring's potential energy. If the spring is fully compressed and the block is at rest again, the block has transferred all its energy into the spring. No energy is lost. So we can write:

m * g * h = 0.5 * k * x²

m = 0.5 kg
g = 9.81 m/s²
h = 2.5m * sin 37° = 1,5 m
x = 0,6 m

Solve for k.

k = 2 * m * g * h / x² = 40.8 N/m

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. (T/F)
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. This Statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

METEOROID: these are small rocky or metallic objects found in outer space.

ASTEROIDS: these are also known as minor planets of the inner solar system. They are irregularly shaped object in space that orbits the Sun.

COMETS: these are dusty chunk of ice, that moves in a highly elliptical orbit about the sun.

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as remnants of the early solar system was further proved in nebular hypothesis

initially proposed in the eighteenth century by German philosopher Immanuel Kant and French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace. (The word nebula means a gaseous cloud.) According to the modern version of the theory, about 4.5 to 5 billion years ago the solar system developed out of a huge cloud of gases and dust floating through space. These materials were at first very thin and highly dispersed.
