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

Sawyer launches his 180 kg raft on the Mississippi River by pushing on it with a force of 75N. How long must Sawyer push on the
Daniel [21]

Answer: 4.8 s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m=180 kg the mass of the raft

F=75 N the force applied by Sawyer

V=2 m/s the raft's final speed

V_{o}=0 m/s the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)

We have to find the time t

Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:

F=m.a (1)

Where a is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:

a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}=\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}} (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

F=m\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}} (3)

Where t_{o}=0

Isolating t from (3):

t=\frac{m(V-V_{o})}{F} (4)

t=\frac{180 kg(2 m/s-0 m/s)}{75 N}

Finally:

t=4.8 s

lukranit [14]
Simple reaction time involves selecting a specific and correct response from several choices when presented with several different stimuli. This is very important because historically, this was the first indicators of intelligence pioneered by Francis Galton. To measure one’s intelligence is to know how he quick a person could respond to the stimulus with an already expected response wherein the stimulus is given unknown to the receiver. In other terms, the intelligence is measured on how quick a person could grasp certain concepts and how he could think fast and answer them correctly. <span> </span>
