A Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670

N is sitting on one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is the apparent weight (that is, the normal force exerted on her by the bench) of the person as she passes through the highest pointof her motion?

Answer:  459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r)  = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c =  F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2)   ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

                m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting  our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N

Answer:

F = 0.00156[N]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's proposed universal gravitation law.

F=G*\frac{m_{1} *m_{2} }{r^{2} } \\

Where:

F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1= Ellen's mass [kg]

m2= Moon's mass [kg]

r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].

Data:

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1 = 47 [kg]

m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]

r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]

F=6.67*10^{-11} * \frac{47*7.35*10^{22} }{(3.84*10^8)^{2} }\\ F= 0.00156 [N]

This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.

krok68 [10]
A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let pressure at surface of earth be P Pa.  

pressure at height of 8.1 km in air can be calculated as follows .

pressure due to column of air of 8.1 km height

= h d g , h is height , d is density of air and g is acceleration due to gravity

= 8.1 x 1000 x .87 x 9.8 = 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa .

pressure at the height of 8.1 km

= P - 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

Pressure due to  column  of 16 m in the sea

= h d g

16 x 1000 x 9.8

= 15.68 x 10⁴ Pa .

Pressure at depth of 16m

= P + 15.68 x 10⁴

pressure difference between points at height of 8.1 km and pressure at point 16 m deep

=  P + 15.68 x 10⁴ -  P +  6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

= 22.58 x 10⁴ Pa .
