The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which can

function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s).
(a) Find the speed of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate.
(b) A passenger weighs 882 N at the weight-guessing booth on the ground. What is his apparent weight at the highest and at the lowest point on the Ferris wheel?
(c) What would be the time for one revolution if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero?
(d) What then would be the passenger’s apparent weight at the lowest point?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) speed of passenger = circumference / time

= 2π R / Time

= 2 x 3.14 x 50 / 60

= 5.23 m /s

b )

centrifugal force = m v² /R

= (882 /9.8 ) x 5.23² / 50

= 77.47 N

Apparent weight at the highest point

real weight  - centrifugal force

= 882 - 77.47

= 804.53 N

Apparent weight at the lowest point

real weight  + centrifugal force

= 882 +77.47

= 959.47 N

c )  if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero

centrifugal force = weight

mv² /R = mg

v² = gR

= 9.8 X 50

v = 22.13 m /s

d )

apparent weight

mg - mv² / R

= 882 - (882 / 9.8 )x 22.13²/50

= 882 +  882

= 1764 N  

=

Please answer ASAP .
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = gsinθ

a = 9.8sin30

a = 4.9 m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2(4.9)(10)

v² = 98

v = √98 = 9.8994949...

v = 9.9 m/s

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

A bar magnet is held above the center of a conducting ring in the horizontal plane. The magnet is dropped so it falls lengthwise
Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that the magnet drops and falls lengthwise towards the canter of the ring. As a result, change in magnetic flux will occur which tends to induce an electric current in the ring.

Therefore, a magnetic field is also produced by the ring itself which will actually oppose or repel the magnet.  

Thus, we can conclude that the falling magnet be repelled by the ring due to the magnetic interaction of the magnet and the ring.
