Answer:

(a) 0.261 rad/s

(b) 1007.72 m

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the Ferris wheel is 150.0 revolutions per hour.

(a) To calculate the angular velocity of the wheel in units of radians per second, you take into account the following equivalence:

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 revolution = 2π radians

You use the previous conversion factors:

150.0\ \frac{rev}{h}*\frac{2\pi \ rad}{1\ rev}*\frac{1\ h}{3600\ s}=0.261\frac{rad}{s}

In units of radians per seconds the wheel turns at 0.261 rad/s

(b) To find the arc length described by the wheel, you first calculate the angle described by the  wheel in the time t, by using the following formula:

\theta=\omega t     (1)

ω: angular velocity = 0.261 rad/s

t: time = 4.95 min

You first convert the time to units of seconds

4.95min*\frac{60s}{1min}=297s

Next, you replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

\theta=(0.261\frac{rad}{s})(297s)=77.51rad

Next, you use the following formula for the arc length:

s=r\theta     (2)

r: radius of the wheel = 13.0 m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

s=(13.0m)(77.51rad)=1007.72m

The arc length described by the wheel is 1007.72m

For when white light is passed through a diffraction grating, the color closest to the center bright spot corresponds toa. Yello
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Option e. Blue/Violet

Explanation:

We know that when white light passes through a diffraction grating it spits into a band of seven colors or spectrum which includes the color in the order VIBGYOR that stands for Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red respectively.

Red light has the longest wavelength and is least scattered whereas Violet light with the shortest wavelength is the one to get most scattered and as we move far from bright spot at the center, there is an increase in the wavelength of light, thus the color that corresponds to the closest one is Violet with the shortest wavelength in the band.

Tpy6a [65]
A joule is one Newton of force applied over a meter.
For every meter, the brakes put 240000N of force (N=Newtons).
For 40m, multiply the Newtons by 40.
240000N*40=9600000N

A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication
koban [17]

Answer:

r = 4.24x10⁴ km.  

     

Explanation:

To find the radius of such an orbit we need to use Kepler's third law:

\frac{T_{1}^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}} = \frac{r_{1}^{3}}{r_{2}^{3}}

<em>where T₁: is the orbital period of the geosynchronous Earth satellite = 1 d, T₂: is the orbital period of the moon = 0.07481 y, r₁: is the radius of such an orbit and r₂: is the orbital radius of the moon = 3.84x10⁵ km.                           </em>                              

From equation (1), r₁ is:

r_{1} = r_{2} \sqrt[3] {(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}})^{2}}                            

r_{1} = 3.84\cdot 10^{5} km \sqrt[3] {(\frac{1 d}{0.07481 y \cdot \frac{365 d}{1 y}})^{2}}      

r_{1} = 4.24 \cdot 10^{4} km      

Therefore, the radius of such an orbit is 4.24x10⁴ km.

I hope it helps you!

The tuning fork has a frequency of 426.7 is found to cause resonance in a closed column of air measuring 0.186 (the diameter of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The velocity of the tuning fork sound is 317.4648 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The frequency of the fork, f = 426.7 Hz

The length of the closed air column, L = 0.186 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 0.15 m

At the fundamental frequency in a closed tube, we have;

λ = 4·L

Where;

λ = The wavelength of the wave

L = The length of the tube

From the equation for the velocity of a wave, we have;

v = f·λ

Where;

v = The velocity of the (sound) wave

f = The frequency of the wave = 426.7 Hz

λ = 4·L = 4 × 0.186 m = 0.744 m

∴ v = 426.7 Hz × 0.744 m = 317.4648 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the sound produced by the tuning fork, v = 317.4648 m/s
