A car on a Ferris wheel has an angular displacement of π 4 rad, which corresponds to an arc length of 28.2 m. What is the Ferris

wheel’s radius? Answer in units of m
Physics
1 answer:
Mkey [24]3 years ago

Answer:35.9 m

Explanation:

Given

angular displacement \theta =\dfrac{\pi }{4}

Arc length L=28.2\ m

and we know that arc length L=\theta \times R

where R=radius of curvature

R=\dfrac{28.2}{\dfrac{\pi }{4}}

R=\dfrac{28.2\times 4}{\pi }

R=35.9\ m

What are the units for the spring constant, k? A. newton meters B. newton seconds C. newtons/meter D. newtons/second E. newtons/
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

C. N/m (newtons/meter)

Explanation:

Since the equation for potential energy for a spring is PE = 1/2kx², after you know <em>k </em>and <em>x</em>, you will get an answer in Joules.

Please let me know if you want me to explain further!

Thanks!

What are Sir Issac Newton's three laws of motion?
Likurg_2 [28]
The first law is that every object stay at rest or stay in uniform motion in a straight line until it is forced to change its state by the action of an external force. This law is called law of inertia.

The second law is that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables. the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.  F= ma or force is equal to mass times acceleration. This law is known as the law of force and acceleration.  

The third law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  every interaction there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. the size of forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. 

Hope this helps :) 

can you please make this the brainliest answer it would really help . Thanks

The potential energy of a 1.7 x 10-3 kg particle is described by U (x )space equals space minus (17 space J )space cos open squa
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a particle of mass

M = 1.7 × 10^-3 kg

Given a potential as a function of x

U(x) = -17 J Cos[x/0.35 m]

U(x) = -17 Cos(x/0.35)

Angular frequency at x = 0

Let find the force at x = 0

F = dU/dx

F = -17 × -Sin(x/0.35) / 0.35

F = 48.57 Sin(x/0.35)

At x = 0

Sin(0) =0

Then,

F = 0 N

So, from hooke's law

F = -kx

Then,

0 = -kx

This shows that k = 0

Then, angular frequency can be calculated using

ω = √(k/m)

So, since k = 0 at x = 0

Then,

ω = √0/m

ω = √0

ω = 0 rad/s

So, the angular frequency is 0 rad/s

The height of a circular tower is 179 meters and its diameter is 48 meters. (Assume that the building is a perfect cylinder). Wh
EastWind [94]

The definition of a scale of 1: 166 will mean that the scale of 1 in the model will be equivalent to 166 times the measurement in the real model, therefore we will have that the height would be 166 times smaller than the 179m given:

h = \frac{179m}{166} = 1.078m = 107.8cm

The same for the diameter,

\phi = \frac{48m}{166}= 0.2891m = 28.91cm

The volume of a cylinder is given as

V = (\pi r^2)(h)

V = (\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2)(h)

V = (\pi (\frac{ 28.91}{2})^2)(107.8)

V = 70762.8cm^3

Therefore the volume would be V = 70762.8cm^3

Jerry is conducting an experiment to test friction. His setup is shown below. If he wants to test the friction between different
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the setup which as been attached below. The setup shows/determines/tests the friction of wood (which is a block material), since Jerry wants to test the friction between different types of materials, he will have to replace the wooden block with another type of block material of choice so as to determine the friction of that also.

In order to have a comprehensive experiment, Jerry can use 4-5 different types of block material in the course of the experiment.
