<span>Acceleration of a passenger is centripetal acceleration, since the Ferris wheel is assumed at uniform speed:
a = omega^2*r
omega and r in terms of given data:
omega = 2*Pi/T
r = d/2
Thus:
a = 2*Pi^2*d/T^2
What forces cause this acceleration for the passenger, at either top or bottom?
At top (acceleration is downward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Ntop): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
m*g - Ntop = m*a
At top (acceleration is upward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Nbottom): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
Nbottom - m*g = m*a
Solve for normal forces in both cases. Normal force is apparent weight, the weight that the passenger thinks is her weight when measuring by any method in the gondola reference frame:
Ntop = m*(g - a)
Nbottom = m*(g + a)
Substitute a:
Ntop = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
Nbottom = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
We are interested in the ratio of weight (gondola reference frame weight to weight when on the ground):
Ntop/(m*g) = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Nbottom/(m*g) = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Simplify:
Ntop/(m*g) = 1 - 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Nbottom/(m*g) = 1 + 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Data:
d:=22 m; T:=12.5 sec; g:=9.8 N/kg;
Results:
Ntop/(m*g) = 71.64%...she feels "light"
Nbottom/(m*g) = 128.4%...she feels "heavy"</span>

Answer:
(-9/7,-26/7)
[more detailed at the bottom of the explanation]
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that this is a system of equations...
So, knowing that y is equal to x + 5, you would plug that in the second equation and find x. Then you would plug x and find y.
—————
Step 1)
Equation 1:
y = (x + 5)
Equation 2:
5x + 2y = 1
Equation 2 can also be written as:
5x + 2(x+5) = 1
I wrote x+5 instead of y because the first equation tells us that y is equal to x + 5.
—————
Step 2)
Solve for x .
5x + 2(x+5) = 1
5x + 2x + 10 = 1
7x + 10 = 1
7x = 1 - 10
7x = -9
x = -9/7
—————
Step 3)
Plug the x value back in the first equation.
y = -9/7 + 5
y = -26/7
—————
Solution:
x = -9/7
y = -26/7
In ordered pair form:
(-9/7,-26/7)

Hope this helps !!!!!!!
The answer is x = 6
Explanation:
First, you must assume that 5x-10=20. Next, you add 10 to 20, which makes the equation 5x=30. Next, divide 30 by 5, which then makes the equation x=6. When you substitute 6 in the original equation, it works, because 5(6)-10 equals 20.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic function is a function in which the highest power of the unknown variable is 2.
Formally, a quadratic function is defined as a function of the form:
From the given options, only B and D has the highest power as 2. Therefore, the equations that represent quadratic functions are:
