A student of weight 678 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude

of the normal force on the student from the seat is 586 N. (a) What is the magnitude of at the lowest point? If the wheel's speed is doubled, what is the magnitude FN at the (b) highest and (c) lowest point?

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of seat force at lowest point = 678 + 92 = 770

(b) Force exerted by the seat (highest point)  = 310 N

(c) Force exerted by seat (lowest point) = 1046 N

Explanation:

At the highest point the magnitude of force by the seat = 586 N

The weight of the student = 678 N

Thus, at the highest point, the difference in this force is due to the centrifugal force acting on the boy. This can be calculated as follows:

Centrifugal Force = 678 - 586 = 92 N

(a) The magnitude of force on the student by the seat at the lowest point will have to appose both the student's weight and centrifugal force acting towards the ground. This would mean:

Magnitude of seat force at lowest point = 678 + 92 = 770 N

(b) If the wheel's speed is doubled, the centrifugal force will change accordingly. The equation of centrifugal force is given below:

F = m * v^2 / r

We can see from this that the force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. So if the velocity is doubled, the centrifugal force increases four times.

So at the highest point the centrifugal force will decrease the force of weight acting on the seat. The seat force would then be:

Force exerted by the seat = Weight - Centrifugal force

Force exerted by the seat = 678 - (4 * 92)

Force exerted by the seat (highest point)  = 310 N

(c) The force exerted by the seat at the lowest point will be the centrifugal force plus the weight.

This is:

Force exerted by seat = Centrifugal force + Weight

Force exerted by seat = (4 * 92) + 678

Force exerted by seat (lowest point) = 1046 N

Answer:

(C) Independent variable

Explanation:

Independent is the variable used by the experimenter to vary a condition of interest in the experiment (temperature in this case). This measure  is varied over a sensible range to induce changes in other aspects (dependent variables; level of aggression in this case) which are measured during the experiment.

What number should be substituted for the question mark to balance the equation and why is that the correct number?
grigory [225]
The combustion of ethane results in the balanced equation 2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 + H2O + energy because we see that after the combustion, the reactants have 8 + 6 = 14 Oxygen atoms in total (8 from 4CO2, 6 from 6H2O). Therefore, since there are 2 atoms of Oxygen in oxygen gas, we have 7O2 molecules in the beginning to hold the ratio true.

Answer:

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the centre of the coil. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. The wire turns are often wound around a magnetic core made from a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material such as iron; the magnetic core concentrates the magnetic flux and makes a more powerful magnet.

Electromagnets

When an electric current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This effect can be used to make an electromagnet. A simple electromagnet comprises a length of wire turned into a coil and connected to a battery or power supply.

A 0.15-kg ball is thrown into the air and rises to a height of 20.0 m. How much kinetic energy did the ball initially have?
zzz [600]
IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.

Potential energy =  (mass)  x   (gravity) x (height)

                           = (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)

                           =      29.4 kg-m²/s²  =  29.4 joules .
