While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find th

e motion somewhat unpleasant. To take your mind off your stomach, you wonder about the motion of the ride. You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 16 m , and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes 29 s. What is the speed?

Answer:

$v=3.47m/s$

Explanation:

The speed is by definition the distance traveled divided over the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, this distance is the circumference of the wheel, so we have:

$v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi r}{t}$

where we have written the circumference in terms of its radius.

For our values we then obtain the value:

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{t}=\frac{2\pi (16m)}{(29s)}=3.47m/s$

How do you think that changing the mass of the pendulum bob will affect the period of the pendulum swing?

myrzilka [38]

(Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)

In odd nuclei, what determines the final spin of the nucleus?

Katen [24]

Answer:

In odd nuclei, the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin of the nucleus.

Explanation:

The meaning of odd nuclei is atomic mass is odd.

A=odd number.

A=Z+n

Here, Z is proton either it will odd or n will odd which is neutron.

Now according to the shell model the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin and parity.

For example,

Take the case of isotope of nitrogen-15.

Here Z is 7, and n is 8 will not contribute in spin.

Now, for Z=7.

$1S^{2} _{\frac{1}{2} }, 1P^{4} _{\frac{3}{2} }, 1P^{1} _{\frac{1}{2} }$

Here,

$j=\frac{1}{2}$

and, L=1.

Fort parity,

$(-1)^{L}$

Put the value of L.

Parity will be -1.

Now, spin will be

$S=(\frac{1}{2} )^{-1}$ .

81. A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of squirrel $m=560 gm$

Surface area of squirrel $A=930 cm^2$

and the area which face $A_f=\frac{A}{2}=465 cm^2$

height of tree $h=5 m$

Coefficient of drag $C=1$

drag Force $F_d=\frac{1}{2}C\cdot \rho \cdot A\cdot v^2$

Terminal velocity is given

$F_d=mg$

$\frac{1}{2}C\cdot \rho \cdot A\cdot v^2=mg$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times m\times g}{\rho \times C\times A_f}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.560\times 9.8}{1.2\times 1\times 465\times 10^{-4}}}$

$v=13.9 m/s$

(b)Mass of person $m=56 kg$

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

$u=0$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5}$

$v=9.89 m/s$
