<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:
4,200 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
The flow rate is given by:
Integrating the flow rate expression from t=0 to t=30 minutes, yields the total volume that flows out of the tank during that period:
4,200 liters of water flow from the tank during the first 30 minutes.
Answer:
4:13
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio expresses the relationship between two or more numbers. It shows the frequency of the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).
8 : 26
divide each number by 2
4 : 13
Answer:
present value = $16750
Step-by-step explanation:
The simple interest formula allows us to calculate A, which is the final amount. According to this formula, the amount is given by A = P (1 + r*t), where P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate in decimal form, and t is the loan period expressed in years
simple interest formula:
t: time
P: present value
A: amount
r
: anual interest
A = P (1 + r*t)
P = A / (1 + r*t)
P = 19,513.75 / (1 + 3/100 * 5.5)
P = 19,513.75/ (1 + 0.165)
P = 19,513.75 / 1.165
P = 16750
present value = $16750
