A student of weight 659 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude

of the normal force F with arrowN on the student from the seat is 560 N. (a) Does the student feel "light" or "heavy" there? heavy light Correct: Your answer is correct. (b)What is the magnitude of F with arrowN at the lowest point? 758 Correct: Your answer is correct. N (c) If the wheel's speed is doubled, what is the magnitude of F with arrowN at the highest point? N (d) What is the magnitude of F with arrowN at the lowest point under the same conditions as in (c)?

Answer:

a) The student feel light

b) Nbottom = 758 N

c) N'top= 236 N

d) N'bottom= 1055 N

Explanation:

a) W= 659N , Ntop= 560N

W > Ntop ---> Student feel less weight

b) Top:

∑F= W - Ntop = m.v²/R

m.v²/R = 659N - 560 N = 99 N

Bottom:

∑F= Nbottom- W = m.v²/R

Nbottom= W + m.v²/R = 659N + 99 N = 758N

c) W= 659 N , Ntop= 560 N , v'=2.v

N'top= ?

∑F= W - N'top = m.v'²/R

N'top= W - 4.m.v²/R

N'top = 659 N - 4. 99 N = 263 N

d) N'bottom = ?

∑Fbottom= N'bottom- W = m.v'²/R

N'bottom = W + 4.m.v²/R = 659 N + 4. 99 N = 1055 N

Many counties in Florida missed many school days in the fall of 2004 due to hurricanes that year. A solution for how to make up

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

108 extended days

Explanation:

Regular school hours a day = 6 hr

No. of school days to make up by extending the regular hours = 3 days

Amount of time added to the regular hours of school = 10 min

No. of extended school days to make up the 3 school days by following the above mentioned criteria be x.

Time of school hours in 3 days = $3\times 6= 18\,hr\,\,\,\, ;or\,\,\, (18\times 60)\,minutes$

$\therefore x=\frac{18\times 60}{10}$

$x=108\,\,days$ are required to make up 3 days of school having 6 hours of regular timing with 10 minutes of add-on time each day.

Explain how characteristic and traits are related<br>

jok3333 [9.3K]

Traits are basically your phenotype. They include things like hair color, height, and eye color. Alleles are versions of genes. ... This is a pretty basic idea of how traits and alleles are related.

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w

Luden [163]

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

$v_i = 5.10 m/s$

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

$d = -105 m$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = -9.8 m/s^2$

now by kinematics

$y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 5.2 s$

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

A balloon of mass M is floating motionless in the air. A person of mass less than M is on a rope ladder hanging from the balloon

Tasya [4]

Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.

Given that,

Mass of gallon is M

Let man mass be m

Velocity of man is v

Let velocity if ballot be Vb

When the person begin to move we have

Conservation of momentum

mv + MVb=0

MVb=-mv

Vb= -(m/M) v

Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M

So, if m<M, then, m/M <1

Therefore, .

Vb= -(m/M) v

Vb< -v

This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction

So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,

The answer is C

Down with a speed less than v

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:

$A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}}$ (1)

Where:

$A=0.375 g$ is the final amount of the material

$A_{o}=3 g$ is the initial amount of the material

$t=1 h$ is the time elapsed

$H$ is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find $h$ from (1):

$0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}}$ (2)

$\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}}$ (3)

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

$ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}})$ (4)

$-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2)$ (5)

Clearing $H$ :

$H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693)$ (6)

Finally:

$h=0.333 h$ This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope
